web programming trick

J

James Toomey

A bit off-topic, but my fellow Rubyists are pretty web-savvy, so I
figured I'd post it:
Has anyone else been tricked by these websites which frequently come up
at the top of Google searches? They always appear to have the exact
subject matter you need, until you actually click on them. In this
case, it involved a pumpkin patch called Forneris Farms that my wife
wanted to visit.
She found this link while searching the web:
http://www.fornerisfarm.com/
but it should be the plural
http://www.fornerisfarms.com/
The first link works, but it goes to a spammer/ad page. These kinds of
pages are all over the web but I don't know what you call them. Anybody
know what they're called and and how they work? And more importantly,
why isn't even Google aka the King of Search able to stop them?

Has anyone else been tricked by these websites which frequently come upNo. I always get just the porn I am looking for. It's sad that Firefox's
popup blocker prevents me from seeing some of it, though...

And what's this Google of which you speak? I've been to goooogle.com and
gopgle.com but never google...
