Google search results - you wont believe it!

I was looking for some ford fiesta car parts, and look at the results:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=fo...g.mozilla:en-GB:official&hs=4nk&start=40&sa=N

Look through the pages of results...

Good one google! Time to consider another search engine

 

Good result if you own gumtree I guess!

 

So someone spammed a Craigslist ripoff site and each post got picked up by Google? I think it's time for Google to demote Gumtree listings.

 

Bcoz there's no choice, very few result to show.

 

Wow, that is the worst result I have ever seen, I do agree with netPH though - lack of quality sites for this search - a gap in the market?

At least Yahoo returns a wider choice of results (Yahoo is much improved IMO):

Very interesting. Google is biting their hands get on top of classified ads industry pushing down craigslist with Gumtree and Kijiji. Gumtree isn't doing that bad, but kijiji is a failure so far.
I posted an ad on kijiji on the services section for webcosmo.com. They removed it promptly. Although I think it was a legit ad.

 

It just goes to prove that sub-domains are treated as completely separate entities when it comes to google and gumtree has exploited this successfully. Too bad for google.

 

That is a very good point also - normally Goog only returns max 2 results for 1 site so they are very broken with sub domains.

I had not considered this - thanks

 

Yet another example of yahoo being better than google recently.

I am seeing a lot of this lately!

 

LOL. unbeleivable isnt it.

 

I thought google had fixed that subdomain problem, but no.

 

google is loosing its search quality. paid links decide is going to finish google.

i'm sad as a googler

 

Actually if you strip it down to 'ford fiesta car parts' there is still a few in the top 20 of over 1 million results....

So Gumtree does seem to be getting some love... subdomain spamming time again boyz.. brruu ha ha ha ha ha

 

looks like the issue is handling the subdomains.

Google looks like treating the sub domains as a saperate site.

And hence they don't feel that search result is messdup.

Try Ayhoo.com for the same.. (They are showing the first two results from the same company)

After the fist two yahoo search is OK!

What is going on with Google...

 

be more specific about what you are searching for.

 

Even this topic is in there

 

I clicked on a Ad in the sponsored resluts for it had the exact keyword you were look for..gues what it was ad-farm garbage site.
officialauto.info/G1/ford/Ford%20Fiesta%20Parts.html

LOL - this gets the "Boneheaded post the day award" from me.
