Mahalo and its spam results?

www.mahalo.com and it’s Spam. Well, that didn't take long did it? Dave Naylor has come up with a couple of examples of how spam has already slipped into the Mahalo results. Interestingly, the 'Go Daddy' search term used here has now made it all the way to position 10 in the Today's Top 20 searches.

Of course, Mr Calacanis slagged off Squidoo recently for the amount of spam in their system, and Mahalo is keen on not linking to spam sites. Or non-spam sites that are deceptive, into phishing and so on. Interestingly, if you read this in a critical light what Mahalo is saying is that they won't link to spam sites themselves, but there's nothing on their FAQ page to say that their own results won't actually be spam. I look forward to seeing this change in the near future.
