Endless Paradigm

Am I the only person who gets annoyed at some results which just appear to be pulling in content from other pages to get up in the search rankings?

Stuff like softwareinformer, bigresource etc which seem to copy some parts of another webpage with a link to it, as if they're trying to wedge themselves in the middle to get traffic.


Hmm, seems like I'm not the only one: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/We...27b2&hl=en


Also, anyone else pissed off an Experts-Exchange results?

Yes. Very much so. But I do wonder if the answer lies beyond the blur.

I also find it annoying.

Yeah, it is annoying.

It makes me mad when I think someone else shares the error, but then I find out it's just a stupid site that copies the query :/

Looks like Google is finally doing something:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...kpmpbdcdef [Chrome extension to block results]

There's a similar Firefox extension, but it doesn't report to Google:

Maybe now, these sPa/\/\ sites will go down.  I suspect a lot of pay sites like Experts Exchange will be hit a fair bit by this too (hooray!).

Google saves the day yet again!
