[Discuss] Strange Google Search Results

[Nathan Meyers]

I'm going to answer my own question, thanks to insights from Google's
Webmaster tools...

Apparently the site has been compromised, with some added JavaScript
page content that is performing "cloaking" - presenting normal content
to normal users and different content (which looks like a Warez site)
to search engines. It will lead to being delisted by Google if it
isn't fixed.

Coincidentally (I think not), I've been getting a lot of ads from services
offering to improve my search engine results.

We now return you to your regular programming...
