Unbelievable Spammy Results

    Hi guys,

    Kind of new to this forum, but I really like what I see.

    My wife's sister has a little website and she was asking me why she ranks so poorly in Google... anyway, to make a long story short, most of the top ten positions are dominated by a few individuals who have built a huge network of cross-linked sites (all registered to the same person) with the sole intent of boosting their position in Google (very effectively, too, I might add).

    Can I post the URL and have some comments on it? Also, I submitted a SPAM report, is there anything else we can do?

    Why is it spammy?

    Building a crosslinked network of websites is not spam, unless it's duplicate content, doorway pages etc. Posting the URL will help them so just type in mydomain.com without the www.

    They're spam because they've built a network of sites with no real content, just a link back to their other website. Here's an example:

    familysearchquest.com

    They've built dozens of similar websites, all interlinked. I thought Google caught this stuff a long time ago...

    who is ameriplan?

    are they part of this scam?...if not...fling them an email to stop their affiliation with this company..
    report the site to google ...and let ameriplan know that too.

    if ameriplan are part or cause of the scam, then thats when the fun begins :rolleyes:

    Not sure if this means anything, but 3 out of the 4 Google datacenters I checked do not currently show any pages for that site. It's really funny that there are exactly 51 pages from the last datacenter (50 states plus a home page). Anyway, with all the PhD.'s at Google, you would defnitely think they could filter this out.
