Right, so last night I'm half watching "The Big Bang Theory" (...bazinga...) while half dinking-around on my lap top. I decide I'm going to peruse page 1 results across multiple niches/verticals... what did I see? It's spam-garbage-irrelevant webpage-fest 2012, folks. I literally could not believe what I was seeing. In
most instances,
I had to click to page 2 or 3 to even find a description that logically jived with my query phrase when searching long tail terms. And this is with queries for the more 'pure' niches/verticals...and then I went into traditionally 'shady' verticals prone to "black hat" stuff. What did I see...? More of the same. Someone's fiverr page ranks page 1 for "buy quality backlinks" as one example

. (No offence to that guy: make your money, my dude) - but, a fiverr page ranking page 1 for that search term...? lol come on.
So, this went on until about 11:00 p.m. A.K.A. when I was too nauseous to do anymore.
I
really can't help but think that something went very, very wrong for Google with Panda 3.3 and 3.4 or this is by-far-and-away the most blatant redirection of web surfers into AdWords ads yet conceived.
Watch Google's earnings next quarter and hold onto your chair, because what you see is going to blow you through the wall.
