this is great news to hear, finally google takes an action on scam and spam that online mareketers or whatever they are caled, do. a year ago i remember searching for something on google and almost all ads on the right of serps were MFA sites, google took an action on that and things got better, i hope this step will give even better results.

I would (cautiously) agree with Terry. If Google wants control over the quality of the landing page, maybe they should price on a CPA basis. Terry’s paying for the click, he should get the click.

None of us want to arrive on crappy landing pages, but we have this thing called a “back button” and crappy landing pages just make the good ones look better.

Don’t thinks there’ll be much of a problem here. Just be sure to check your landings…

Terry- I understand your frustration, but seriously disagree with your philosophy. Your landing page is Google’s business. In fact, as a end user I’m adamant that Google cracks down on gimmicky marketing tactics that people use to get me to sites that I don’t want to go to.

I feel that Google is becoming more and more a search engine controlled by marketers. I actually am using delicious more and more to do my searches on the web. At least with delicious I don’t have to worry about thousands of people bookmarking crappy–but seo rich–sites!

I’m honestly getting a little tired of Google overstepping their bounds. My landing page is MY business. Once that traffic gets to me it is mine, plain and simple. I paid for it, I’ll make the decisions as to what converts my audience thank you very much. I might have a little more good will to extend them in that area if they didn’t completely rip people off with charging the uninitiated through the nose for garbage traffic when using broad match (the default keyword match type.)

You know, I have a little hard of a time accepting the same people taking authority over MY landing page content who have decided that an accredited educational institution should be shown for porn (some child) phrases. Google should get their noses out of the advertisers content and put it where it needs attentions, and that would be their matching technology.
