One change to the Google SERP ranking algorithm is going to ruin their day.

  this is exactly my thoughts. I feel like they haven't been as prevalent as they were in results a while ago when searching.

    About.com got hit pretty hard by the Panda algorithm change - they have definitely been less prevalent in search recently, although they still appear to be reasonably profitable. As far as content farms go, they're one of the better ones? (since they basically invented the space, and demand etc. took it to new depths of pathetic content)

      "About.com got hit pretty hard by the Panda algorithm change" Oh good, while still one of the better ones, their content was often still somewhat sprawly and unhelpful. They still focused too much on having breadth of content without having enough quality content. The best of the content farms is still a content farm in the end.

      machine generated "content" must be profitable, no suprise here
