Search for download ringtone:

#1 ranking has Google PR of 0, is not indexed by Yahoo, shows no backlinks in google using link:, has scraped content, and redirects to another page after a few seconds. All of the competing sites are PR5 and have been around for a while. MSN's link: shows that it has ~250 spam blog comments for backlinks.

Comments? Sure. Google's "Big Daddy" update and their supposed war on spam have both been an absolute disaster. This is why I now use Yahoo for my personal searching. Yes, there is spam in Yahoo's SERPs as well, but google has shot themselves in the foot to the extent that I find searching with their engine now to be bordering on counterproductive.

Yep as said I would not worry to much about the results google is producing at the moment as they are all over the place. They say all the SERPs jumping sup results is going to be fixed at the end of summer.... well I'm not sure they mean this year for 4 years down the line

That site wont stay top for long, such a competitive search term someone will report the spam before they can scratch there butt.

When I was saying 2 months ago that many people will be switching to other search engines after Big Daddy problems, people were putting all possible dirt on me in the forums.

***k it's hard to talk with the herd ahead of time :shuriken:

Why doesn't that site just hide the content and iframe some "useful" content?

I don't know what it redirects to (stopped it) but as a user I would be hitting backspace as soon as that site loads.
