Seen the spam on AV searches?

A porn site has started hitting #1 on AV searches

[georged]

A few people mentioned seeing a porn site (same one every time) hitting the top for the most unrelated searches, which must be to do with AV. Then I saw it for myself. I mean, try: belgian chocolate , it's #1, I tried a few german phrases, two of them had it at #1; type in: spam me , they are at #7. type in: ropey search , guess what? #1.
What's going on?
(It's with family filter on as well. I mean, ???)

Christmas #25, that is inexcusable. They should close down until it's fixed.

GACK!

I went ahead and tattled on them to the "spam reporting" part of AV.

I don't want to know what/if that has to do with Belgian Chocolate. I just don't.

I really don't know what to say about this, It almost seems like either a major flaw or fowl play on AV's part. I was doing normal upkeep for a client and just found this same site at #4 for "marriage counseling" (without the quotes)

I think they are in the top 20 for every search. I found them all over the place.

I don't know if it is any relation but I have seen other sites appear in the top position under terms totally different non-related keywords in the past few days. These sites would only appear there for a short time in the day and then disappear.

But yeah, either they have some serious bugs or someone hacked themselves into the DB.

search for discount airfare ticket on av, one particular site seems to have a morgage on the first 2 pages, I dont want to spam myself but what do you do?

"one particular site seems to have a morgage on the first 2 pages, I dont want to spam myself but what do you do?"

Their using multiple domains to host same/similar pages to get the multiple listings. I would drop AV an email about the spam, and then in the spare time I would try to study what the offending site is doing that allows them to get so many different domains ranked at the top.

>either a major flaw or fowl play

"fowl play"? I don't think the site was about that. :)

well, I just searched for belgian chocolate, and all I got was definite chocolate-related sites... maybe the naughty site has gone *poof* ?

AV is still screwed up. They've managed to filter the porn site out on my US travel term, but there are several foreign language sites returned -even with the filter set to English only. It still must be in a state of flux, because the rank and number of these sites fluctuates.
