Anyone have any clues > what goes on? I guess the question is, how would google know *not* to index them ? As soon as they are linked to (or more likely they re-use an expired domain name that is already in the google database) they will be indexed. They may be obviously autogenerated to a human, but it's a lot harder for a computer to tell. It seems that google indexes sites of dubious value - but gives them a low pagerank. This means they do appear in results, but only if there is nothing more relevant available. All the best, Michael Foord -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
