The report analyzes search-engine results for queries such as 'Buy Windows 7 key' and demonstrates a widespread problem of blackhat SEO and fake online stores across multiple search engines and countries. It provides result counts and examples (e.g., Google 12/20, Bing 10/20, Yahoo 14/20), highlights particularly poor outcomes on Yandex, Baidu and some European localized sites, and notes DuckDuckGo returned a high proportion of spam in the first 20 results, concluding that search-engine spam is a global issue.
