I disagree with the assertion that blackhat sites are built to be temporary – my serps are dominated by spammers who have been around for years.

In my podcast we often talk about our job as SEO’ers is to provide a good experience to the google user. If a quality website is using black hat techniques will you always penalize or ban them?

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply our question! It completely makes sense, unfortunately the time needed to become an authority site in highly competitive keywords is frustrating and SEO/Google automatically becomes a secondary marketing strategy. Hopefully through time Google will become even better and faster at noticing black hat sites and taking them out.
