I actually dared to write a complaint to Google today... (scary!)

Before the re-indexing I already faced heaps of sites ahead of mine spamming my site name! - now it's absolutely redicilous:
My site TropicHeat.com slipped to position 145 for 'tropicheat' - and almost all 144 results before are spamming my gallery headers (and the majority redirect to the same full-page NastyDollars ad), for "Tropic Heat" in two words it's even worse: position 717 - and almost 600 pages in front spam my name (which I have registered since 1999!) with re-direct porn sites or warez sites...
I'm publishing 'free porn series', and have done so since 1998 (can probably claim to be the first), and until the re-indexing my site was in the top 20 for 'porn series' (position #8 most of the time, position #1 was another of my sites [which I didn't deserve...LOL]), more importantly I know most sites who publish decent series or links to series, and before the re-indexing I thought all results in the top 40-50 were actually representing decent sites with no cheats or pop-up-redirection hell... Now: in the top 40 you won't find a single site offering a single uncensored porn series (you might find heaps of references to series written or filmed about the topic of child porn - but that's it).


So I sat down and pointed these things out in a letter to search-quality@google.com - the (automated) reply is at least promising:

I just thought somebody has to tell them they got it wrong...
