A Welcome (by Some) Crackdown by Google is on the Horizon
you've probably encountered this problem. you do a search on Google, take a look a look at the organic listings and click on one that looks like its what you're after.
Only once the page pops up, instead of finding the information you're looking for, you get a page full of listings of sites with links to other sites. Usually these are links that the holder of the particular Web page will be paid for if you happen to click on one.
Sometimes you get lucky and there are links that actually help you in your search. But, more often, it's an annoyance, cutting into your all too valuable time and slowing your search for information you really want.
Well, the days of those "list" pages showing up in the top of the SERPs may be coming ot an end, at least on Google.
You can read more about the problem and Google's planned solution in this article from Search Engine Land.
