haha it looks like someone set up us the bomb with some kind of google prank.

This page: http://mega-dating.net/out_www.iceteks.com.html

Is on google, note that it has iceteks as key word and the results are irrevelent. And the last result points back to the same page to trick google into ranking it higher.

Whatever you type in there seems to bring the same results, but iceteks was already typed and that page was on google as is. Pretty strange.

The ones on the bottom say things like "Having trouble finding information on: iceteks? Why not give us a try? We pull from more than 15 leading search engines in real time, giving you all the results the internet has to offer." lol this is funny. It looks like a prank but maybe it's not, since if you type something else in the url it puts it in the search bar.

You see alot of search page scams like that. What I want to know is howwhy iceteks shows up. If they are diliberately picking out search terms to have spidered by google, why iceteks? Or was this more of a randomautomated thing?

Yeah that has me wondering too. Sure where all over google, but so are other one word terms. As long as google does not think it's me, if they notice something suspicious.

I don't think google will think it's your doing. It doesn't even link back to your site

what exactly would you have to gain [besides a russian bride

Yeah. But I assume if they suspected something, they would contact me first. I think that's how it works. It would have to be pretty obvious probably. And yeah, just noticed it does not even link here at all.

Funny indeed. Maybe iceteks is now a popular search keyword so they figured if someone types that it it gives them an advantage of their site shows up.
