[Discuss] Strange Google Search Results



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...
