The problem is that there is a lot of legitimate traffic from Google and
while some admins are willing to lose that (many have shut off Google postings
years ago) others are not.  Admins running larger sites are more likely
not to. 

So for the past couple weeks a lot of work on the part of a lot of admins
have gone into cleaning up this spam, most of which is the result of one
single spammer on google.   Most sites have pretty effectively cancelled
it, though not all have.  Keep standing by.
