Google Search Results A Mess!

[cass]

I did a search recently on some important gambling related terms and noted that the top positions in Google are occupied by hacked sites.

To be honest this is very disconcerting since it appears that Google is doing nothing about this issue despite lodging several complaints. I think a Panda and Penguin update is long overdue.

It's not just hacked sites, but low quality thin sites and 301'ed blackhat sites are dominating, I noticed in the top 20 - 30 results on mobile search also this appears with worthless thin non mobile friendly sites, My theory is that Google currently have the junk index on show and this will be updated, usually the index results for my site switch twice per day.. this has not happened since the weekend.. and all my competitor sites are also off the results.. Some big authority sites.. not sure if this is related to the mobile update or just a refresh of an existing algorithm.. but it's affecting anyone with authority, at least in the gambling industry anyhow..

True, but to be honest, also thanks to some online casino's that you are giving on your website a credibility of 4 stars out of 5.

Understand me well, it's no offense to you. I like your website, the design and also the number of reviews and information, but in my opinion the thing is:

Hacking is interesting for people, because they are making money with it. They make money with it, because some online casino's do accept to pay for traffic gained in an unethical way. They continue with this, because they can. Even if they do this, they are still cool for everybody. Ok, some moralists will delete their banners or write even a negative review, but most affiliates will keep on promoting them or act cool to them at conferences, etc.

Like that nothing will change. They need to be outcast. Or work with those hackers, but no banners anymore on websites and be ignored totally at conferences of hardworking webmasters. Or don't work with the hackers and banners on websites of hardworking webmasters.

None taken and thanks. The operators that we've rated 4 or 5 stars are reputable ones, in my opinion at least. You'll also note that the hackers are promoting Affactive which we rogued.

I blame Google for this mess. If its algos were running at optimal capacity it would have picked up the hacked sites long ago. I've reached the stage where I no longer use Google as a search engine. I use Bing and quite happy with the user experience so far-no hacked sites when you do a search on specific keywords.

The serps have been going wild for a few days now. The 1st page results are not as violitate as the second page and on. I think this is what everybody was waiting for that google was supposed to put out on April 21, 2015. They said it was going to take a few weeks to roll out, so it makes sense.

Whats funny is the fact that that is also the case for G results in other languages as well... Normally they would update the EN first and then roll the features out for other lingos - but it looks like thats no longer the case these days.

Let's see how the serps look once the dust settles.

The serps have been messed up for many months now. There are so many hacked sites and rubbish sites dominating the serps. It's a joke. I hope google does something about it soon.
