Basically someone needs to sue google and force them to fold as they have the deep pockets and something to lose. All these people using trademark and copyright terms to inflate their ranking usually have no assets so are immune from legal action, though you could get their websites, for whatever that might be worth.
I just dont think its worth yourtime and energy to bother with it. figure out how to convert 1% better and ya make more money than all these fucking leaches anyway.
But if you set one precedent, the rest should cave without much resistance, especially if they're all doing the same type of thing which seems to be the case here.
