Google doesn't do a big dance anymore, it's more like a slow Waltz

Google royally sucks these days. They seem to prefer spam pages. Yesterday I did a search and the first 100 results were almost all the same parking portal page on different domains cloaking various text lifted from other sites.

I am currently getting little to no hits from Google most days, most of my SE traffic comes from Yahoo (I get more hits from Altavista than Google). My text has been jacked by cloakers, so apparently Google thinks I'm the duplicate because the spammer(s) enjoy good placement in Google. All of my sites fell to 1 or 0 PR and have remained there for months with the exception of one page that got bumped up to a PR2 when I took the site down and put up a "back soon" message.

I think I'm going to start creating a shitload of spam pages and robot.txt them so that only Google indexes them (if other SE ignore robot.txt they'll get what they deserve )
