Show Google: Classic spam search
HI Google/moultano, here's a classic example of a spammy search result.
A friend just told me I can use something called Kotoeri to input Japanese characters on my Apple.
I searched "Kotoeri" but got a wikipedia page and a bunch of forum posts about problems using Kotoeri.
So I searched "kotoeri download". The first few results are still Wikipedia, and a couple of forums.
The 4th result is mac.wareseeker.com which is doing the "inject your search term into our page title" trick. How the hell!?!
When I click on the link, there is no kotoeri download to be seen:
http://mac.wareseeker.com/free-kotoeri/
I'm in spam hell!
EDIT: I did actually subsequently go back to Wikipedia and see that the software comes standard with OSX - but nonetheless this serves to demonstrate the type of search that spammers often target
- mike-cardwell 16y agoHere's another one. Google for: +my_city +linux +vacancy And what do I receive? Craploads of job aggregation sites. What I actually want is a list of websites where people are advertising vacancies in their own company in my city. I try removing all the general job site by adding stuff like this to the query: -site:jobsite.co.uk But there are so many that Google starts complaining about the length of the search query and prevents me from adding more.
