Why in the first place you want to search for LimeWire on google or any other searchengine?

Then why not going direct to Download.com and search for LimeWire there, that's easier. Duh !!! That's how I get it

cos you will find sponsored results at download.com too like

"""">2006 Limewire � Software - Free Download
>>>Visit Web Site
>>>Download Unlimited Music, Movies & Games. Choose From Over 1 Million .>>>MP3 Files....
www.download-it-free.com""""

Another scam site..

www.limewire.com is the only safe place

I think this thread was more about Google than anything else.

Well, thanks for "Sponsoring" is that I found about LimeWire.

Well lets just say thank you to all of the scamers out there. Did you ever think if all of these sponsored scam results were not there that when you did a search for LimeWire the only thing that would show up is the official sites. Humph it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. And guess what if you did a search for P2P only the official sites for P2P apps would show up imagine that you could click on a site and not get ripped off.

So thank you scamers and sponsored sites for screwing up my searches.

Where are you guys located ?
 
I am not the only one getting legit results. I am located in the Faroe Islands and I only get real results. Hobo is located in the UK and he gets real results. Location Location that's the problem. Let's just say that if in the US then google directs you to scam sites.

I have seen those sposored results, but only for very specific searches where google triggered sponcered results.

Try Google UK. Or Scandinavia. Just Change the Language. You already know what the buttons say, so you don't need to understand the language ;)
