Nexus1 & Nexus 1 Mobile Phone Search – Google Pwned
Blurb by Shaun Anderson (Hobo) -Can Google do real time search?
I think this is the first time I have typed a query into Google and got 100% spam – 10 out of the top ten results for what is bound to be a decent search term shortly…. all spam and even malware sites.
Yup that’s 100% of the search results spam.
Google might be releasing tons of new search products but a quick search on Google UK for “nexus 1″ – Google’s new mobile phone soon to be launched – shows they still have a boatload of stuff to fix in Google UK serps at least
I believe Nexus One is the name of Google’s new phone, (released in January I think) but I didn’t know – so I typed in Nexus 1 and nexus1.
10 of of the top 20 organic Google UK serps are so obvious spam for the search Nexus 1;
Is this why Google wants to fill it’s first page with pages with massive domain authority and trust, google local business listings, news results from authority sites, book results, shopping results and blog posts from authority blogs (a lot of it indeed property it owns)?
The spammers and black hats are having a field day in the UK organic search listings (never mind real time search) and it’s nearly 2010.
The Google UK serps seem to be getting spammed silly and yet Google still seems to open up more fronts for folks to take advantage of.
Crazy days.
Perhaps it’s time to dust of that black hat off…..
EDIT 1 LOL…. mmmm plenty of traffic on that term anyway lol
Turned out to be a pretty cool test on real time search too.
Edit 2 – It looks as though searches for ” NEXUS ONE GOOGLE PHONE” and all related searches to the Nexus One are going to cause Google a few overtime hours in the spam department over the next couple of days….
Spam like this does really show how vulnerable Google seems to be to real time spam – and gives you ideas – what you think?
PS – I should have called this “Google Nexus One – This Query Deserves Spam” 
We've recently updated our comments policy and increased the number of comments a visitor has to make to get seo friendly links in comment signatures to reward long term readers and make it a bit harder for dofollow spammers ;) - I told you dofollow spamming wasn't a long term strategy....
Haha, that’s pretty ridiculous.
The real-time updates are clearly too prone to spam, and they just can’t be moderated. I don’t see how Google can keep this feature.
Neither can I…..
Maybe google is just becoming too hard to manage. This might be the start of a window of opportunity. If I remember right you previously wrote about the value of “trustable links”.
I remember googling “matrix” maybe 10 years ago on google and I was so amazed to see the “matrix movie site” link at the very top. That was something altavista could not deliver at the time. If google starts losing this edge then this will be a whole new game.
Personally, I would welcome some change in the market. I don’t like the idea of one company dominating such a diverse and universal environment.
First of all search for Nexus 1 does not result in spam. I checked on Google Uk. Secondly whats even funnier is that i tried to test drive Bing.com’s competencies (as it is the most likely to dethrone google ) and guess what same spam results in bing as well … hahahaha…. give it a try , go search nexus1 on bing.com and see what happens…
