I live in a part of London called Harringay. When you search on
Harringay, of the top 10 results, 3 are what I would called shell
advertising sites:

1. http://www.harringayontheweb.com/ zero content about harringay -
all links end up with info about a completely different part of town.

2. http://knowhere.co.uk/4435.html - three banal lines of info and
panels of ads.

3. http://www.harringay.net/ - reproduces the local government's page
(non-original content) and has a series of links that are broken, lead
to commercial sites or have irrelevant info.

I have tried reporting these pages under spam and paid adverts links
in Google - but nothing.

Can someone please explain how these pages might be getting such a
good ranking?
