Google Creating Their Own Descriptions for Sites?
I was quite surprised to see that Google seems to be displaying a "custom description" for the site, www.TrafficPowerSucks.com. The second line of text does not appear on the current page or the cached version of the page, which leads me to this conclusion. If you visit the site, you will also see that this is a watered-down description of what the site is about.
It's not a rant-filled site, but I see it as someone that is pissed-off at being provided a server that was harmful, not beneficial and just wants to get back the money he paid. Traffic Power escalated the issue by suing him when he put up the site to complain. Heck, read the site, it's all there...
Traffic Power Sucks

By they way, while Aaron Wall (www.seobook.com) has been getting all the recent Traffic Power law suit exposure, www.trafficpowersucks.com has quite an interesting tale to tell. Of note is the fact that the site does not list or promote another other SEO consultant or SEO company, and does not even refer people if you contact them directly. Note to TP and all: This kind of ethical behavior is exactly the opposite from the whole TP controversy and should be an example of what to do right. Keep the self-interests out of things as much as possible and you'll earn the respect of others.
If you care about this issue I suggest you visit the site and give him a donation. There is no advertising on the site, so that is not the point of it's existence.
