I am sad watching Google losing the battle... It is beyond me how Digg pages (that only have a link!) show up higher in search results than the actual content they're pointed to?
Just yesterday I wanted to learn more about SAN storage and no matter what I searched for I could only get "buy! buy! buy!" links on Google's front page, until I retreated to wikipedia. Look at this crap (below), how could it possibly be included in the index, the text-to-link ratio (as well as text-to-dd) is horrendous, why not just ignore these?

Here, I think it was search result #3 for "how fast SAN storage is?", the usefulness of google is fast approaching Altavista circa 1996: http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,si...
