Google searches are really starting to get on my nerves. I mean you search for keywords like "Tsunami coverage" or "Lop ear rabbitt" or whatever and you get returns in the top 10 like Ebay.
Buy tsunami coverage on Ebay!!!
I mean come on Google, I understand these companies pay for high rankings but there is no Tsunami coverage on Ebay or lop eared rabbits on sale either which violate their terms of services.
My 2 cents

i dunno... but i searched for the keywords you used as example in google ("tsunami coverage" and "lop ear rabbit"), and i got the most relevant search results in both searches, and not even one ebay link in the top 10, not even the word "ebay" in the whole results of the first page. what browser are you using? if you are using IE, it could be that your browser has been hijacked by some adware if you keep getting search results with mostly ads in the top 10. it's just a possibility.

I don't know what you are talking about too! I did search just to check... bur NOT A SINGLE E-bay result in the first 20 results. When you are on top, like Google, you have to take this *BLEEP* from people, I presume.

Uh.. yeah I suppose being at the top has its hazards. However, I have to agree that the overall search result quality seems to have gone down over the last few months. Maybe its just that people have figured out how to use SEO to their advantage.. or maybe the Google spider got a lil dumber.

Yeah, it certainly is a shame that to find results that I want I often have to browse to the next page or two, but no search engine can be perfect all the time. dark, are you sure it wasn't some sort of advertisement on the side, or perhaps a sponsored link? Show us a screenshot or something next time, because for the tsunami, there certainly shouldn't be any Ebay stuff up top.

Hi Well someone mentionned that my browser could have been hijacked and I think it was even though I run ad-aware, spybot and hijack this. But these were not updated and I just did that and ran them all several times and now my searches results are normal. No Ebay selling "Tsunami coverage" or anything else that can't be sold there. So anybody getting weird results in google searches should really clean their system free of spyware. Patrick

Just use metacrawler. It searches the best search engines out there. And yeah, i once got the annoying google thing then i scanned my pc for spyware and cleaned them out. Next time i searched google, ebay was gone...You probably just need to clear out your pc of adware.

To be fair, a random tsunami related query COULD throw up an ebay page as one of the top searches.. primarily because eBay has been advertising a tsunami disaster fund on its homepage.. and it isnt really hard to figure out why a small banner on ebay would show up as a top search. Ebay is probably one of the most frequently crawled websites. Although totally unrelated search results obviously point to the presence of spyware on your system

I think Google is fine as it is. It really created a big hoo haa with its Gmail. Now I keep a close eye on Google. I can start to find common ground with dark. I was searching for the term 'yamato' recently. IJN Yamato is a Japanese Battleship. Anyway, the search results did point to something about Yamato, but most of them were commerical sites. Some examples are sites selling 'Yamato Modelling Kits' and other merchandise related to the ship. My point is, if I'm going to buy these stuff, I would have searched something like 'Yamato modeling kit' or 'Yamato merchandise'. All I wanted was to find out more aobut that warship but was given a slew of commerical sites instead... -Shackman

speculative, but I think all signs point to what I am about to describe. Google may be about to
launch a search tool that uses the same algorithms used way back in 2001. Why would they do this? I

Google Chrome Reviews
What do u think of Google's latest freeware browser? (22) I’m not suprised by this. Chrome auto updates itself without my consent (although I did consent for

alt="tongue.gif" /> ) and the installation is so force (like not being able to customize anything…).
Things like that are usually signs that the company’s attitude towards the costumer is less that
perfect. Big corporations, that’s what you get. At least it’s open source, so it’ll probably fare
well (if google doesn’t manage to tank the whole thing). It’s not like browsers that ....
