Google use a trust value to rank the domains from which links come to a domain. I don't see what that says about the spaminess of the domain receiving the links. Good quality websites receive a lot of links and what I'm saying here is that it's important when garnering links to ensure that those links are from healthy domains. Inbound links appears still to be one of the most important ranking metrics but there are domains from which one wouldn't wish to be fostering inbound links.

You claimed that bad sites don't have lots of incoming links. Then you wrote about google's counter-measures against bad sites with lots of incoming links....

You're reading in what's not there. Yes, I noted that Google have countermeasures to address sites being more highly ranked than they should be because, whilst they have a lot of inbound links, the inbound links are of low quality (from low trust domains).

But none of that presupposes any knowledge of "spam sites", nor of the particular instances you note of spam sites with lots of inbound links (ie the claimed far more than wikipedia [per IP address]).

But it seems you don't have any examples so I'm not sure why you're persisting. Even if I did know about specific spam sites with lots of incoming links I don't see the relevance of my knowing that to you answering the question of if you can give any examples of sites with your claimed characteristics. The points are orthogonal. Your pre-knowledge of such sites is not in any way bound by my knowledge of such sites.

I daren't ask if you can answer the question again. But just suppose you could then a response would still be of interest.
