DuckDuckGo is actually worse for this query (they seem to not be ranking as high as they used to in Google SERPS), but it brings up an issue that I've never seen satisfactorily answered anywhere. http://www.google.com/search?q=soap+with+flash+as3 http://www.google.com/search?q=soap+with+flash+as3 brings up the following link from bigresource.com: http://www.bigresource.com/FLASH-SOAP-with-flash-AS3-PvTRLrvdSe.html http://www.bigresource.com/FLASH-SOAP-with-flash-AS3-PvTRLrv... The BigResournce content is scraped from Actionscript.org and surrounded by BigResource's ads, which is pretty standard scraping. Clicking the link to "view original forum thread" redirects to a framed page with more BigResource ads, and the original content in a frame. The frame is handled internally by the site, so I'm doubtful they're even showing an actual link to their scraped content. I've seen this specific site debated in this thread: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web+Search/thread?tid=2fcbb7ec02a527b2&hl=en http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web+Search/thread?tid=... and I know several users including myself have reported this site as spam (I even went the extra mile and changed Chrome to append "-site:bigresource.com" to queries using the default engine). My question is this: Is there something that BigResource is doing that exempts them from being classified as spam? As near as I can tell, they add no extra value to the content for the user, and push the legitimate results they scraped further down in results (because they have many, many pages).
