Google Spam

Is Google an infallible power?

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that some of my Google searches are returning results from spammers.  This has probably been a problem for awhile, but I'm now noticing a sharp increase.

For the previous blog post, I wanted to provide a link to a shareware utility for filling up disk space.  I put in "diskhog shareware" as the search.

The third result of the set was listed as "diskhog for nt server", but what was stunning was the URL provided:

www.coulterroadbaptist.org/teen-non-nude-bikini.htm

Now, I doubt that organized religion has gotten involved with internet porn.  Sure enough, choosing that link brought me to a page that contains a couple of links to other search engines.  Ugh.  Looking at the source code for the page, a lot of effort is made to fool the user and record information.  The user agent string is captured, along with the original Google search terms.  When a link is hovered over, the status shows a fake address.  What crap.

Google spam is nothing new, but the success that Google has had is will be lost if the present state of affairs continues.

FYI, here is the real Coulter Road Baptist church.
