Did you de-obfuscate the text, run the searches, or use some other mechanism? I didn't find anything when running the searches and don't really have the time to mess with de-obfuscation

I Googled "She's the Sherlock Holmes for the 21st century", and that gave me 3 pages of sites that were displaying the ad when they were indexed.

And now this page is the number 1 hit in google for that phrase and some little vector spread across racks of google boxes is wondering why hackers suddenly care so much about Annabel and what they can sell us.

LOL who would have thought Google would have indexed ask.com pages showing their own Adwords ads!

It's the ultimate form of "eating your own dogfood".

Also Annabel Slack, Annabel Stark, Annabel Query, Annabel Strake, Aanabel Streem

Tip: Google the query like this:

+annabel +"She's the Sherlock holmes for the 21st century"

The Annabel variants will all appear in the search summary. No need to click through to the cached page.
