>A classic example of this can be found by searching for "laptop repair bradford pa". This brings up "Illusory Laptop Repair", located in the middle of a railroad crossing. A SEO expert created that phony business listing to demonstrate how bad Google was at detecting such spam. Google still thinks it's real.

This doesn't seem to work.
