Google has started to experiment with manipulating the organic results listings in order to find ways to earn additional revenue, as well as expand their service offerings to their users.
I have been watching Google results on major keywords, the results have kept on dissatisfying users with all those spam and irrelevant results. What may be the reason behind this? Well Google has been saying that this is just another update but why such results are appearing and what is the motive behind this.
If these spam results are due to professional spammers then why Google is not doing anything about this. What about Google’s filtering and blocking spam sites, do they exist? If yes, then why has Google failed to rectify the problem? I think it needs to answer such questions in order to win back the trust of people.
I have found an interesting forum where you can share your views and concerns over organic spam.

Interesting view, but I don't think that google did that on purpose. Anyway they have their ads attached on almost every site in the web, so they should be idiots if they have made their search engine worst to make more money, because in the long term this could cause problems.
Regarding the spam sites there are so many of them that it is really difficult to get them out of their index. The web is very big to be controlled so easilly, but I guess they work on it as they don't want to lose their search engine domination(personally I believe that they will lose it, but that's another story...)
Anyway as this update is very new, we can't tell more untill the next one.
BTW it is obvious that the site you found is yours
