I think it's important to point out that this statistic is "over the
past 90 days" as well.  It doesn't identify enough sites to make it
possible to verify whether it's representative of current problems.  The
231 sites may have been cleaned relatively quickly and still count in
the statistic if Google ever found them to be doing something malicious.
 I do not think this report is a useful one unless the number is
constantly growing and is a large percentage of sites Google has
spidered on the network.
