Wait, let me see if I understand this right. Stack Overflow doesn't use AdSense. Other sites scrape Stack Overflow and surround the ripped-off content with ads from AdSense. And you're wondering why Google ranks its customers' sites higher than its non-customers'?

Stack Overflow content is cc-wiki licensed and released in full data dumps every month, as long as the sites link to stackoverflow.com and otherwise comply with the cc-wiki requirements it's legit.
