    Checked out iyruehoyybcd.cn which has 7-800 pages in Google.
    Did a search for http://whois.domaintools.com/iyruehoyybcd.cn and you can see that the site was registered 08/31/2007...

    Not bad for a week old site..... It's happening all over again :(

    Update:
    yeah, most likely an attack on the pet industry and I also need to update my "thousands" to hundreds of thousands pages/sites!!

    If you do this search: site:*.*.cn breeder for sale and change the word breeder to anything else within the pet industry then you'll see what I am talking about....

    Best thing to do is bang Google with Spam complaints...

    I would say make a thread and get the power of the people to slap Matt C upside the head!

    This is serious. Most of them are redirects to fake anti spyware sites that try to get you to download a file; which I'm sure is some kind of trojan.

    Going to Digg this thread.

    I agree with nextgen66. This is serious. If it can happen to this industry then it could happen to all industries and if they have found a way in they are going to use it as long as they can if GOOG doesn't stop it right now.
    If you submit spam reports then they tell you that they will have a look at it and implement it into their algo to have it fixed but how long will that take? Do they even know about it yet? Since there is no way of communication with GOOG how would they know???

    looking at the number of responses in this thread, there can't be too many in the pet industry on this forum. There should be more people worried about this, especially sites with their domain names in the title of the spam site...

    Some of them installs virus on your computer too!!!!!
    Be careful to click any links!! Report them to Google using "Dissatifsied link" at the bottom of the first search page.

    I thought that Google had fixed their algo last year to remove spam, but now it seems thta they have reverted it back again.
    Google search sucks right now and checking your stats in the morning is not fun anymore. Loosing $$$$ for every minute because of this and there is no change in sight. I guess spam is the way to go now. Get in, make some bucks, and then out again....... Seems like that is what Google want :(

    Update from Matt Cutts: They are looking into it right now and is in a testing phase. I still see a lot of it but am hoping that it will be gone soon!!

    Yeah Google is full of spam websites like those, but if you really care about your website traffic for such keywords or any other keyword why don't you optimize your website harder to out rank them and get over it.
