Google spammed

Look at the first sites on this page result: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...inssurance&lr=
I included the double "s" by mistake.

They look OK to me.
You might have to explain in more detail what we are supposed to be seeing.

I think you are right, there is some major spamming going on here. Most results on that page all redirect to 'simpledirectory' and the strange thing is that the descriptive bits in Google are nowehere to be found on these pages. These are quite clearly doorway pages and it wouldn't suprise me if the content served up is diffirent for the spiders then it is for us.

This is what I see. Down the page there are similar results:

Maybe it displays different results by region:

The misspelling; “insurrance” = 27,600 GOOGLE Returns
The misspelling; “inssurance”=19,800 GOOGLE Returns
The misspelling; “innsurance”=14,400 GOOGLE Returns

You will note that many web designers try and catch misspellings. They eat their time and “Meaningful metatag Space” and primary top site verbiage, optimizing for foolishness. None of the examples above are particularly competitive. GOOGLE and some of the other SE’s control this nonsense by offering the correct spelling, deferring visitors to more valuable content. Practicing these shady tactics clutter up the net and contribute to mediocrity. That is not the "domain" of valued customers or "clients". I view these "bottom-feeders" for what they are; an algae eater in the bottom of my aquarium.

Why waste the valuable metatags and verbiage space to cast a “misspelling net”?

Why even worry about the jokers that do?

Just my opinion.
