Today's question addresses the quantity and the different types of messages send out to Webmasters via Webmaster Tools. The head of Google's Webspam team, Matt Cutts, shares the statistics. Cutts says...

"hundreds of thousands of notifications are sent out each month."

In January and February of 2013, the message breakdowns are as follows:

• 90% relates to black hat, which Cutts defines as "pure egregious spam".
• 4% are sent because "the content had little or no added value"
• 3% are sent because of hacking.
• 2% relates to link buying.
• 1% relates to link selling.
