Can that be ever estimated without Webmaster deceiving the algorithm(s) or
take away indication of date? Is that not what sandboxing is for?

It would probably be risky. Remember that senior pages, and especially
*popular* senior pages, enable Google to leave that tail of spam behind.
If you wish to know how noisy the Web truly is, try Yahoo search. It seems
as though half the pages which are public could be utter grabage. Fortu-
nately, not all get crawled or even indexed.
I searched for a term today and decided to go all the way to the last
diplaybale results pages. The last 10-20 results were random text with the
words "dildo", "alcoholic enema" and the like at the <title>.

I started syndicating Matt's blog. He spreads some valuable information
when he doesn't talk about personal matters. He is like the 'Google Insid-
er' or a spokesman.
