Stumbled upon some great MFAS site

    I paid off my Harley the other day and was looking for the number of the original dealer I purchased it from "McHenry Harley Davidson". So I googled for that exact key word phrase only to end up here: http://www.biginfoguide.com/harley/harley-dealers.html

    What is worse here? That fact that this site is completely devoid of any meaningful content, or the fact that Google ranked it number one for that phrase?

    Does this site look compliant to you? It would appear to be from googles perspective as far as the SERPS are concerned.

    I must say - it's quite a brilliant way of doing MFA!

    This is really funny :

    Yeah, it is brilliant, but one has to wonder why the legit site ranks so poorly over some MFA concoction? It's pretty said from an SE standpoint. I think it further displays how truly messed up Google is lately in terms of relevancy ranking.

    What a sad state of affairs.

    there's a lot of irregular pages among web, just like that. one of my competitors has 100's of them with 10-20 caraters... and guess what? big G doesn't care.

    that's sad and shamefull.

    I honestly cannot remember the last Google Search I made that got me something relevant to my search terms aside from "Jenna Haze", and her web site, while ranked NUMBER ONE in Google, contains NOTHING.... It's a "under contruction", "coming soon", non-existent, no content, nada... web site....

    When looking at SEO, AdSense, AdWords, whatever... I really think one needs to look at both the advertisers and the end users experience as a whole. The SE should be doing the same.

    maybe that's the big problem: even when end user reports SPAM, SE doesn't care. several webmasters reported several sites and NONE of them were banned till today.

    SHAMEFULL

    but how many visitors would he actually get for that keyword.

    I would have also thought there was not enough content there to rank any good in google.

    Sometimes spam sites outrank legitimate ites because of the problem google seems to be having right now. Its not a huge problem though.

    I disagree, it is an enormous problem. As an example, take a look at this.

    More evidence that Adsense employees live on this board. The site most likely was banned. Here's the cached page. Can you see why?
