Looks like a Xmas Dance at Google

Once again, Google does a VERY ill advised adjustment to their algo, and the end up with HUGE piles of shitty sites taking up every term you can think of.

Once again, they have managed to push a PSB.ORG page up to the top 10 of the term "porn".

The second item for the term "findpics" doesn't have a single reference or link from anything findpics, not a single mention in the cache, nothing.

I have had one site go from about 500-1000 google hits a day for a variety of mixed terms to 3.

I go back and look at those terms, and 90% of the pages don't even have a cached page (they are cloaking and asking google not to show their shit). Click the link, get redirected.

Scumware sites, toolbar sites...

Congrats Google, you just made MSN look good. 40 billion for this?

Sheesh!
