The way people are ranking for ringtones is via hacking wordpress blogs and setting up spam sites that use domain authority, I know, I got used.
That’s a good idea though, replace spam with educational stuff.
Question: Say you are getting old and limp and you do a search for viagra info., what kind of sites are you looking for? That’s right, educational sites, looks like Google is doing the user experience thing, that is excactly where I want my future sites positioned.
Get with the program!

The majority of those links don’t work. I don’t know how many gazillions they made before they got nailed, though they still show 4,000 page links in Yahoo! (most of the links for that entire subdomain). As a member of the academy who has never put anything self-promotional on my academic pages, I have to say that irks me more than most spam.
[...] Google built an algorthym that placed value on links, so is it any wonder that an economy built upon selling those links sprouted up? Google also places value on trusted and authoritative domains such as “.edu” TLD’s. Looking at the SERP’s for [buy viagra] and [buy cialis] it’s pretty clear it’s in place. Is it a shock to anyone that there is a market for links and pages on “.edu” sites. [...]
I have a couple of posts on my blog that detail the technique. Back in January there was even a Google Docs page at #2 for ringtones. Much of the ringtones spam is from one person or one group or people. It’s interesting that Google hasn’t been able to stop it.
