Once upon a time the search results for a product name or model number would bring up either the vendor's own pages or a few user comment pages. This was of great help in determining whether a product was worth purchasing.

Now Google returns hundreds of garbage pages that are either nothing but keyword traps or half-assed storefront pages. For example, when looking some info on a Pioneer amp model#VSX-D412K look at the results. Pure junk. There's nothing but storefront pages. What a waste of time.

Google wants to go public. The public wants good search results. Don't be surprised when the go the way of the rest of the dot bombed stocks.
