Maybe someone went ahead and implemented a Google Pages crawler?

Do you also have something published with Google Page Creator?

I do, it is at cellounge.googlepages.com

For some reason when you type site:cellounge.googlepages.com there are no results.

i often wonder with this type of spam, why they don't put more effort into sounding genuine...? the bad english and general incontinuity is a dead give away.

I actually did make something to search Google for site:googlepages.com and get the results, then print them out in e-mail form. I made this do just 10 e-mails, and spam protected them a little... it's a proof of concept, but shows it can be done. You can find it here: http://www.dswifi.be/PHPgoogleSearch/PHPgoogleSearch/PHPgoogleSearch.php (I don't use this for spam! This is proof of concept, and I hope no one uses it for spam!)
