Re: co.za domain parking question

Took the words right out of my mouth. Fully agreed.
Advertising Traps or SPAM traps which Andre clearly engages in are one 
of the reasons that Google Search results are going downhill.
Every single one of these spammed pages are SEO'd up to the hilt making 
it all the more difficult to find information which is what the internet 
is all about

"People whose opinions I respect have all been echoing the same 
sentiment --*Google, the once essential tool, is somehow losing its 
edge. The spammers, scrapers, and SEO'ed-to-the-hilt content farms are 
winning."
