InactiveLooks to me as if someone was trying to build some links thourgh this website. Don’t have a clue why G is ranking it in the top 10 though.

InactiveEver since Google recently added a ton more pages to their index you’re seeing more and more of this crap. For a search of “online texas holdem”, coming in at #7:

Have also seen words/phrases ranking top ten when the only on page reference is the name of a poster on a message board. The page/site has absolutely nothing to do with the topic. Bigger isn’t always better.

InactiveGoogle just focuses more on the incomming links of websites than the on-page information. They’ll change the weightings soon when more and more of these type of sites start ranking highly.
[edit] I wouldn’t call these rankings “crap”, just irrelevant for that search phrase.

I’m sure a lot of others have as well.
Results are useless anymore. :rasberry:As noted in this thread from back in September . .
General Discussion / Totally Over My GooglitisGoogle has been going further and further down the dumper.
Their heads were getting too big anyway…time for a reality check for those guys!

InactiveThe URL is formed using a technology called Mod Rewrite. It takes a link with variables, and masks the fact that they are variables making them look like directories.

GuestThanks for the info, Nathan.
Hopefully google will catch on to this and do something about it. Their serps are messed up. While a lot of the sites deserve their placement, there are too many that are incredibly irrelevent.

InactiveNo doubt about that. Google has been accepting sites with structures like this forever because there is truly no way you can tell that they are not truly directories in most cases.
But google does need to step up the quality of their results, they are quickly going the way of the same ole same ole as far as result quality.
Too bad there aren’t a few “Gambling Search Engines” that everyone who would possibly want to gamble knows by heart.
Cut out the need for your googles, yahoos, etc.
I’d like that. But it’ll never happen.
