Has Anybody Noticed The results are mucked up

The search results now full of adverts

[braveheart007]

I have a site been ranked for It's keywords in the top three for 3 or 4 years so imagine my surprise when I start finding Kelko ads and e-bay ads etc etc running all through the top sites sub directories style system google has i.e. your sub pages being indented from the main page on your site it has found, so this in effect has me behind dell computing in a subject Dell has no earthly reason for being in never mind ranked top 5. so has google finally lost the plot as I must say I tried this msn bata programme and I'm ranked 1 No Dell's kelko's or e-bay's in their search so who has the better more concise results now?

Are you sure you aren't infected with adware?

[braveheart007]

No these are actual google results Try for yourself the keywords "blue widgets" see how kelko and even dell have infiltrated the result when dell especially has nothing to do with blue widgets in the least and was never listed their before ever!

No dell or kelkoo in my top 10.

You should take nuevojefe's advice and check for spyware. I get no mention of Dell or Kelkoo for those terms anywhere in the top 100 spots.

[nuevojefe]

or top 50 for that matter...

Do a right click, copy shortcut and see if there's an affiliate ID or if the page lands on or redirects through an affiliate ID.
