It looks like Google has fixed the spamming issue with Google docs. When you do a site search of Google docs it only returns 1 result whereas before it was a couple of thousand url only listings.

Google docs was being used successfully to spam Google and gained many top 10 competitive results which contained little more than an external link to an affiliate site.

It took them a while to sort out and it must have been embarrassing for them as a lot of these search terms were for adult themed site.

I guess it was good for the spammers for a while but like anything obvious was destined to end. I bet some of them made a ton of money though.
