Google search only has 60% of my content from 2006

I have long believed that the proliferation of phone-number-lookup sites was antisocial media: spammers and other bad actors creating these sites to prevent people from having a central place to talk about bad phone experiences, associated with specific numbers. Which one is the good one? You can't tell.

Isn't that exactly what PageRank was designed to handle? None of these spammer sites should have any actual positive reputation.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a network of non-phone sites linking to them that juice their PR. Like I surmised: it's a broad-based strategy.

Google has cycle detection in PageRank specifically for this reason? They know which regions of the graph are good ones.
