If I could ask a question, it would be this:
BlueWidgets.com has 10,000+ original handwritten web pages about blue widgets, yet the site ranks below a three sentence Wikipedia article about how the ancient Mayans used "light green widgets" as toothpicks. There are tens of thousands of examples like this ranked all throughout Google. About.com is even more spammy and aggressive than Wikipedia, where in many cases their meta title is the only portion of the web page related to the search term. How on earth is this ranking system beneficial for web users, and when will some of these larger websites finally be penalized for blatantly exploiting Google's algorithm?
