    I know, but it's their play ground, their game, their rule.

    We must obey.

    Duckduckgo.com is a great search engine where you get good results and better privacy. Let's stop feeding this Google "Do no evil yeah right" monster that is trying to f* all the little guys that don't spend in Adwords like the big companies

    I think this time they have made big mess by knocking down tons of quality websites. The search results are worse than what they were before the update and I don't think this what they wanted achieve.

    It's not just that the results are worse than they were before, which they indeed are. It's that they are a joke. Quality sites were punished (which they may or may not have deserved, though not to the extent that they dropped 1000+ spots), and in their place are 404s, 503s, pages with no content, parked domains, articles from the 90s, sites Google knows are compromised, and irrelevant site that have nothing or very little to do with the search term in question.

    #1 for "python hosting"
    http://www.python-hosting.com
    Text file with the word OK. It's not overoptimized for anything other than the word OK because it has no description, title, or any other content.

    #1 for "something"
    http://www.something.com
    Same as above, but this at least has a title tag.

    #1 for "make money online" on Google UK
    http://makemoneyonline.co.uk
    Default Wordpress installation with a "Hello world!" post. At least http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com was manually penalized on Google US.

    #3-5 for "new shoes"
    http://www.shoemoney.com (make money online site)
    http://www.sleeptrain.com/local-foster-kids.aspx (foster kids shoe drive)
    http://www.sleepcountry.com/local-foster-kids.aspx (same as above)

    #11 for diet plans for men (danced down a few spots but still ranking well)
    http://www.dietplansformen.com
    Gibberish in Latin, presumably part of some default template install.

    #5 for "confidence training for dogs"
    http://topdogcanine.tripod.com/newpage3.htm
    Page from 1999. I didn't even know Tripod still existed.

    Seriously? Who does this help, aside from sellers of negative SEO services?

    With results like these, I've switched to Bing. Sure, I'll continue to use Google services, and they may be able to win me back for search if they fix what they broke, but there are a number of search engines that are delivering better, more relevant search results now.

    The thing is noting,

    1. Google just want to show us how he can play with us, he want to show his power

    2. This update targeted most small to medium size bushiness / site so Google want people spend more money on adword, Google want to make ton of money

    3. Regarding the update, we can clearly see that the results showing are still not positive, still there are junk and irrelevant search results showing on first page

    4. If Google's stupid so called websapam team wasn't 100% sure about the affect of this new algorithm then they should not rollout this update, with this update google disappeared many good sites instead spam sites, they are just plying, they are loosing nothing.

    this is all happening because we are so much involved/depended on Google things.

    100% Agree....
    It's one of their strategy to get more earning with adwords.......
    It force webmaster / website owner to buy ads from them to bring their traffic back!!

    No one is going to use yahoo or bing because we are habituated with google. Moreover, these problems will be fixed soon from google. you will see.

    lol.

    Obviously, Google would return search results that are closest to your search term "Google Webmaster Forum" which is, btw, Google's own webmaster central forum. Sure they may have shown a bit of being power-hungry at times but your example is simply... funny and ridiculous.
