That's just freaky news. google has great search results compared to the other search engines and they should leave the results to algorithms and not humans.

I disagree google search results su..s if you search for 2 words keywords you will always get 2 or 3 optimized sites and them thousands of spam blogs and forums that are not even close to what you are searching if you dont believe me search for buy acyclovir and you will see

there are cases like that, you right. but again majority of serps are working fine automated.

may be it would be better if they rectify their algo.

I think they are just finding ways to improve their services to their users, that is something that we should be doing as well with our sites. If people would handpick the sites to be displayed when a user asks a query or searches for a keyword, then, the results will definitely show quality sites... if our sites have quality content, products and services, we shouldn't really worry that much .

If you search for a 2 word phrase and 1 of those words is buy - of course you're going to get spam and low quality drek.
