I'm seeing some real junk SERPS for some coupon queries I monitor, when I say junk here's the SERP layout for one that gets roughly 65k searches a month (which would be considered fairly competitive):
1: 1 page spun content site - exact match domain, no coupons
2: Merchant website
3: 1 page MFA - exact match domain, no coupons
4: dealspl.us
5: retailmenot
6: 1 page MFA, exact match domain, no coupons
7: 1 page blog MFA, exact match domain, no coupons
8: 1 page blog MFA, exact match domain, no coupons
9: 1 page blog MFA, exact match domain, no coupons
10: Wiki comment page with spun content, spam links
Never seen so much junk, 7 out of the top 10 results. This particular merchant is also popular during the holidays (they do gifts) so this is a horrible experience for searchers actually looking for coupons.
I'll not even comment on the backlinks these sites are ranking with.
