And there are people like me, who forget I aggregate into a service (i.e. social median) and scrape my own stuff hahahaha #loser And please don't get me started on linkfarms. Ugh. My thing is, though, I need to understand Google's new algo that implements real time. I really don't know how they are differentiating spam from real content.

You accurately describe some sites I've encountered lately which scrape some of our content all the while linking to what appear to be affiliate sites selling totally unrelated products. While at first glance these posts look like nice mentions of our products, a deeper look shows them to be completely meaningless and (I believe) possibly harmful to our legitimate online efforts.
