google going downhill
is it just me? ..lately, a good chunk of my search results (no matter what i'm searching for) result in links to other search engines. seems like people are finding ways to flood google with links to useless sites while disguising the results to appear normal, and then they redirect you after you click it.

i mean there has always been links like that, but never so many as in the past few days.

RE: google going downhill
I've found the same thing with Google. I've started using AlltheWeb every now and then and I am starting to like their results better at times.

RE: google going downhill
No...it is just the way search engines work.

It started off that webcrawler gave the best results, then it was altavista, and then google. It is just google's time to start a demise...

That makes me feel better - Google put me in the sand box and I can't seem to convince it to let me out!
