I googled prominent eco-terrorists Earth Liberation Front to see what information I could glean. The first thing I thought when I noticed "their" website was that the domain was up for sale. "Hmmm, that's odd," I thought and clicked my way in. EarthLiberationFront.com looked like a typical environmentalist news blog. It's got a nice banner, a decent background, and a link to Tre Arrow's website. But as I looked through, I noticed a few amusing things.
Hidden within the relevant news, I couldn't help but wonder why environmentalists were so concerned with Cialis. Was this a problem with lack of protein? Well, then I discovered links to Pink Floyd posters, the iPhone lawsuit, and used panties. Then it hit me: whoever designed this website made pretty damn sure to beat Wikipedia in the Google search rankings.The funny thing is, design-wise, it is much better than the ELF's own website (actually, I don't think ELF has a website). It's also got much more interesting articles (that were gleaned from such sources as the LA Weekly). If this SEO cared, and put more effort into being a content producer, he would have something decent on his hands.
In your opinion, is this the new way to cheat Google's pagerank system?

It's not new.
But it wrong.
And Google needs to stop it. But Google's more interested in other things right now than in providing accurate results for users.
