There has been something similar for years: a page that basically says "Yeah, nah, we don't have any information for that, but you might be interested in a totally irrelevant something else", but phrased in a way that gets it high in the results. What's astonishing is that Google doesn't punish those pages.

Why would they punish pages that help them serve more ads? There are ads on the search, ads on the useless result, ads when you refine the query.
