I was doing a little study on my keyword when I found this !

I wonder why this kind of results can appear. Let us discuss this matter. I have some ideas, but let someone else give their opinion first.

The first time I studied this case (about a month ago), there were also keyword spam website (is this the right term?) that is purposedly built for the keyword "borang politeknik" and attached with another hundreds of mispelled word such as borang piliteknik, borang pokitenik, norang politeknik, boeang politeknik, and the list goes on.
However just now, when I checked again, those result were gone. I think because it is obvious that the keyword density is to high in the sites.

I sympathise with your fight against 'borang politeknik' spam.

If I were you I'd go ahead and report all those sites to Google.

To be honest the reason they are showing is that they are 'dregs'. Google avoids banning sites by removing them from the index, and instead throws them at the very bottom. Google knows that they aren't good sites - but instead of risking throwing out that rare one in a million useful sites - it keeps them at the bottom.

When you search for 'borang politeknik' there are very few sites with pages about 'borang politeknik'. All you see are the 'dregs'. For more competitive key-words the dregs are still there - it's just that sites actually about the subject have pushed them down the list.

I don't know how it could be useful, but I'm sure I will find the info valuable one day...

thanks for sharing vincevincevince,

borang politeknik... if only I knew if there was money behind that term, it would be easy to get a great ranking

Thanks for the comments.

Actually I have nothing to do with "borang politeknik". And I am not in the situation to fight the spam, I'll leave that to whom valued the keyword "borang politeknik" most.

My real interest is how those junk pages defeated the real valuable information web sites in terms of search ranking.

What makes google think that http://techno-4-us.qlm.surovamarote.org have more respectable result than http://www.pkksabah.edu.my for that keyword?

Any ideas?

The former site mentioned 'borang politeknik', whilst the latter site has the two words separated by half a page. If there was truely a page about 'borang politeknik' - it would certainly contain the two words, together, would it not?

You got a point there!

This make me wonder, how bad or good is our government related websites, optimized for keyword search.

I'm not surprised if they have not been thinking about it at all.

Imagine the hassle for the students who are searching for the entry form to enter our politekniks. Unfortunately the things that they are looking for is no where to be found.

Government sites can be very good, or very poor. Some departments in some countries spend a lot of money on SEO. A friend of mine was employed by a national government on a confidential SEO contract for a couple of years.

In general, the Page Rank and incoming links of government sites are naturally very high, and they have authority status. This means that even poorly optimised sites rank well.
