Adult sites listed under dishwasher repair ???

SiliconWizard:
I have noticed the same for quite a while, and for just about any kind of search.

There's an increasing number of phishing links looking "legit" in the search results, but that redirect to spam web sites like porn/online casino/fake games/dating (but fishy dating stuff)/etc.
I thought Google was supposed to be very good at filtering out that and making searches the most relevant possible. I thought Google was safe. Yeah, right. :-DD

Smokey:
I guess they got tired of the plot being centered around TV repair men.. Dishwasher repair men need some love too!

I've noticed I get a new IP address around midnight (from my ISP) and the advertising is based around whomever had it before me. Your ISP might change your IP address within the pool.

There are some serious fingerprinting/tracking technologies being used.
A few times I was using TOR browser and google ads showed up for semiconductors :o
Privacy is a myth on the Internet.

I start seeing those on the 3rd page with your search terms. Looks like typical SEO spam sites, easily recognisable and skippable. This used to be how it was, before around 10 years ago Google started aggressively filtering them out, and most recently it was hard to find anything because they were trimming out good sites too. Now it seems they've started relaxing that filtering, so on one hand it's annoying to see, but on the other hand, I'm happy that I can wade through many pages looking for the good stuff again like I used to do back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Yeah, but as you said, those are usually "easily recognizable". So how come Google search is not able to recognize them and filter them, with all their experience in the matter, SoA algorithms and all this AI? ::)
