In addition to information for autodict we also have the best web sites concerning dictionary, non profit and new york. Hmmm, looks like some sort of bot that takes the words in your search and stuffs them into its response. I wonder if they realise how silly the results end up sounding? I've seen these sorts of things before, but I haven't quite figured out yet how they manage to get into Google's database if they're auto-generated. 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
