I noticed today that a search for "mubarrek london" returns a page of results where every result on the first page, besides the top one, is spam from www.88searchengines.com, www.30searchengines.com, www.70searchengines.com, etc.

UPDATE: I am even more surprised to see that when I logged out of my account and searched again on google.ie, one of the efreedom disappeared!! So, does this mean that Google search now takes into account my past search result clicks (or rather mis-clicks)? Or ranks contents in someway that proves efreedom is somehow more relevant to me?
If you're using personalized search, we do look at past clicks to change your ranking. So if you clicked on efreedom in the past, that could affect your ranking. You can add "&pws=0" (or use incognito mode in Chrome without logging in) to turn off personalized search and see whether that's the factor for you.

It's fairly trivial to add a custom search engine to chrome or ff that automatically appends
{google:baseURL}search?{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}sourceid=chrome&ie={inputEncoding}&pws=0&q=%sStack overflow is an obvious benefactor of this new change, I'm just wondering if smaller content providers might benefit as well?

rel="canonical does work across domains.
Is Google the only engine that supports it currently or is it standardized?
if you have a blog about wines, then what do you need to write - in order to be "original" blog about wines - does it mean mostly:
1) express original opinions about wines, 2) original structure of sentence and original wording - but the same opinions that 10 other sites write about, 3) original brands of wine you talk about - original names mentioned, 4) original content in the sense that you have not copied the text 100% from someone else - or what 5) combination of the factors mentioned above 6) something else that makes your content original ..
