    Checking on some cell phones and other keywords and the top 10 results in Google is showing Title and description of sites, but the actual links are to ads. What is Google doing?:confused:

    Maybe it's just my datacenter but the actual links are not the title link. The 1st on my search says Cell Phones,.... but the actual link is www.anticipatesavings.com

    Click on one and it leads to another Google search. Wierd??? Hope I don't have some kinda virus or something.

    I'm wondering if I have some wierd virus or something. I tried typing in "verizon" and getting the correct Titles but wrong links. Can someone verify this plz. Is Google wacky or something on my PC?

    Just scanned with spyware doctor, some low infecions were cleaned but Google still gives me bogus results. Time for my virus scanner...Thanks for the tip

    Can someone check at Google Big Daddy here http://64.233.179.104 and see what you get for "verizon" . I still get some wierd results...Thanks

    PS- If you have a Google account, log out then search.

    This is fu**ed up. My site was ranking very well in google but today it is no where in SERP. just 1 visitor! I think something happened. maybe algorithm changed? Even famous sites are not ranking in first page. :mad:
