Just curious: what's wrong with all these sites

    I surely have a feeling that *something* is indeed "wrong" (and I've seen many sites like this so far), however, the strangest thing is that none of the sites in question (I link to three examples below) have AdSense ads on them, so it doesn't look that they are MFA-type sites. Anyway, so what's then the point in all this??


    The links to mentioned three strange sites:

    Motor carrier safety

    Sata drive performance review

    Truck camper accessory


    /NOTE: I really hope that I posted this in the right section of the DP forum. I didn't find anything more appropriate, so I decided to post it under "Google -- AdSense" branch since these sites really resemble sites with the "MFA-style" overall design/outlook.


    P.S. -- I found them in e-mail sent to me by automatically generated e-mails notifying me of new "TrackBack Ping" on one of my blogs in English language, in particular it is this blog: CastleCops - satyr if you really need to know that detail -- ...

    No, they don't have Adsense ads on them, but they do have other ads on their site. What exactly, I'm not sure...

    looks like these are gateway pages
    not necessarily created for ads, but just stuffed with content to pick up spiders then link to a real site

    Yeah, "content stuffing" was also what I managed to "get out" of these sites, lol ...

    these are ads,
    c.php is a MDNH creation ( http://www.marchex.com/ ), same guys who spammed google with those sites that gooogle indexed a billion pages on.

    the URL is encoded,

    http://64.111.196.117/c.php?s=eNpFk.../KOsflFUY4GYF02a9pV3uvt999F2/MFBgAED1P9vCsTU=

    "Connecting thousands of merchants with active consumers on the top Internet search and shopping destinations.
    Learn more" - from marchex, basicly, they buy expired domains, build seo friendly sites and spam them, all containing they're own ad network which people pay to be on.

    they market it as PPC search marketing, as well as directory marketing.

    a big slimy company.
