perhaps a refresher course on the Google’s webmasters guidelines would be useful here are some points of interest:
Quality Guidelines – Basic principles:
Make pages for users, not for search engines. Don’t deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as “cloaking.”
Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you’d feel comfortable explaining what you’ve done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, “Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn’t exist?”
Don’t participate in link schemes designed to increase your site’s ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or “bad neighborhoods” on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.
Don’t use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold™ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.
Quality Guidelines – Specific recommendations:
Avoid hidden text or hidden links.
Don’t employ cloaking or sneaky redirects.
Don’t load pages with irrelevant words.
Don’t create pages that install viruses, trojans, or other badware.
Don’t create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
Avoid “doorway” pages created just for search engines, or other “cookie cutter” approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.
These quality guidelines cover the most common forms of deceptive or manipulative behavior, but Google may respond negatively to other misleading practices not listed here (e.g. tricking users by registering misspellings of well-known websites). It’s not safe to assume that just because a specific deceptive technique isn’t included on this page, Google approves of it. Webmasters who spend their energies upholding the spirit of the basic principles listed above will provide a much better user experience and subsequently enjoy better ranking than those who spend their time looking for loopholes they can exploit
Based on this information most of the domains listed above are intented to decieve, misrepresent, and redirect to 888.com. This seems quite clear to me some are not your typical 888.com landing page.
Very much a witch hunt there has not been one scraper shut down on this thread. We have not lost our focus and I can certainly turn up the heat if need be. greek39
