I've seen this a lot lately, and I don't see how these sites were allowed.
Is there anyone here who can shed some light on this?

Excerpt:

"A reader, Courtney Cox (no relation to the actress), recently pointed out
to me that the top results of recent complex Google searches turned out to
be inane Chinese sites that were not even parking sites, just an assortment
of keywords that somehow got indexed and brought to the top of the results
list. After seeing a few of these sites, I have to wonder what's going on.
Is it sabotage?"
