    I can't believe what I'm seeing. A single company, 70 holdings, has managed to hijack the top search results on Google by becoming a syndicated "Google News Publisher".

    Here are sites tied to 70 Holdings:

    Healthnewsca.com
    Stopwatchnews.com
    ifridaynews.com
    Businessnewstrends.com
    healthbeautynews.com
    gadgetglass.com

    I estimate their earnings to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars today while legitimate sites have taken a back seat in search results.

    I wrote a blog post about it here: News Spammer has Spammer has Hijacked Cyber Monday Search Results.

    Do a search on Google right now for "Cyber Monday" or similar results for items.

    This has been going on for the past week now and Google refuses to do anything about it.
