Google Issue

A client of mine has a site and he is concerned because he typed in his domain name in Google, and a bunch of other sites popped up with his website address in the text below the link? See attached. Why is this happening. I just need to supply him with a justified answer, but I'm not finding one!

Thank you.google-issue-picture-2.png

i don't think its an adwords issue ...

if he types in his domain without the .com bit he should see fairer results - where he's indexed above those others - which are all just directories ...

i assume that somewhere within those directories he's got a link (maybe paid for) - and those sites may be more popular sites than his own - which would prioritise them accordingly ...

i think ...


sounds credible ...

That domain doesn't even have a site...so what does he expect?

Those sites are just directories and spammy link farms. Probably nothing he can do about it.

His current hosting company dropped him thinking that the other hosting company had everything redirected. That is why I'm helping him out right now. I'm changing the name servers...blah, blah, blah. Sorry about that.

But yes, thank you for the info.
