    Why doesn't Google web search have a 'report spam' button? Scope for abuse?

        @BenedictEvans probably too high an impact on abuse-staff. It's hard to educate people on what is actual spam and what's just "spammy".

        @BenedictEvans Lol that would be an easy way for SEOs to up their rankings.

        @BenedictEvans you can through Webmaster tools but they make it hard so it doesn't become a negative SEO exploit.

        @BenedictEvans With 11.944 billion searches per month how would they handle "report spam" button. How would it work?2

        @BenedictEvans such a button would likely be abused.
