Found on CNet News on Saturday, 22 January 2011
Google is ready to fire a shot across the bow of the so-called content farms, willing to acknowledge recent criticism of the quality of its search results but still not quite ready to detail specific remedies.

Spam has been annoying for years now. Every time you try to inform yourself about anything that can be bought, your search results are loaded with spammy sites offering price comparisons and cheap deals.
