I spent some more time looking at the URLs adjoining my Google listings. I'm not at all happy about the bad neighborhood Google has placed me in. Right below one of my pages is one with the title "women (performing a normal body waste function)"!

Nice. Very nice. I have no idea how that site could possibly rank for the same search term as mine, nor do I have any idea how my page which has nothing to do with women, normal bodily functions, or anything even remotely of that nature, could be just slightly more relevant to the search term than this other page.

I clicked on the link to see what was on the page that could place it in the same neighborhood as mine, and I got a warning from Google that visiting that page could harm my computer!

GREAT! THANKS GOOGLE! You've ranked my original, unique content site right above a disgusting site that downloads spyware, and has who knows what kind of disgusting content on it!

This is downright insulting. Google should be ashamed of themselves for returning such unrelated sites for a search term. What does this say about my site to people who see it listed next to such garbage?

My site is appropriate for children, there is nothing even remotely similar between my site and a site such as the one I mentioned above, yet there they are right next to each other. I didn't put myself in a bad neighborhood, GOOGLE did.
