Google Complaint - Waste of my time

I, too, go to a site that is unrelated but it happens. The search results are not 100% accurate.

Put what you want in quotes, i.e. "2000 Buick climate control", your results will only include the words in quotes. That will help a great deal. Google spends a lot of time trying to keep sites that use non relevant words and terms in their sites excluded from your search. Google even de-lists sites that cram their sites with non relevant stuff just to attract traffic. It's a 24/7 battle for Google as every site owner wants to show up in every search result.

The Google algorithms now favor site relevancy. If you sell apples, your site had better be relevant to apples or you will get dinged instead of pushed to the top of the search results.

I wonder if your computer might have a virus that is causing some unwanted pop ups or something like that, because when I Google "coloring pages" all of the first options are for free coloring pages. http://www.google.com/search?&q=coloring+pages

Ben there... I agree, There's tons off coloring pages to choose from.

Old Timer, that's good advice. It's what my daughter advised when I was complaining about search results. It does help.

Without quotes you get hits on every word in the search.
