I don’t recall anytime recently when Google showed such a horrible, misguided, completely wrong search result lately. I am stunned that Google would even possibly show a result such as this. Or, perhaps this is a sign of yet another change to Google’s search engine algorithm?

Feel free to click on the image to see the larger version of it. From what I’m seeing, there is a Dentist with the last name of “Seo” (pronounced SEE-OH ?) that has absolutely nothing to do with marketing, Search Engine Optimization, or website marketing.
