• I’m working on an upcoming Machine Learning in Quantitative Finance conference, my role is to outreach and engage relevant professionals.

    While I’ve handled other events before, this field is new to me. I’d appreciate any quick tips, resources, or key concepts to get up to speed.

    Also, if you have advice on how to approach senior roles (MDs, Heads of Departments, Chiefs, Presidents) effectively in this space.

    Thanks

    Same content every time. Just the town name swapped. No real local relevance. Thin copy, no useful information. Textbook doorway spam.

    But here’s what stands out. You can type anything you like in the URL and it still works. For example, you can insert…

    /repair-and-service-centre-big-boobs.php

    /repair-and-service-centre-wife-from-thailand.php

    …or anything you want in the URL. The site just dynamically inserts whatever you put in the URL. It’s all templated. Anyone with a script could generate thousands of these in a few minutes.

    This stuff is ranking well in local results. I’ve reported it through the Google report page a few times, but nothing ever seems to happen. I don’t even know if they read them?

    How is this still working in 2025? Has Google just given up on this type of spam?

    If anyone’s curious, I put together a short list of example URLs here: [https://pastebin.com/Wd4Bq6Yt](https://pastebin.com/Wd4Bq6Yt) \- It includes working manipulated URLs and examples of their broader spam setup. They lead you to manipulated versions too, lists of their pages doing it – all of it. How to get this network of spam actually noticed by Google?

    I’d be interested to know if anyone’s actually managed to get something like this taken down, or if we’re all just wasting our time with the report form. And more to the point, wasting our time trying to do local SEO properly? If rubbish like this still works, we may as well all just put up sites with a few thousand spammy doorway pages full of AI slop for every customer.

    This story from India is more than just a local tale of heroism. It’s a global call to action. When faced with a choice between documenting an accident or preventing it, may we all choose the latter. Next time you’re in a similar situation, remember this man’s brave choice—consider putting down your phone and stepping in to make a difference. The world needs more heroes like him.
