I stopped when she "grew confused" by the weird articles. Perhaps she shouldn't be viewing webpages at all. Most people would recognize this instantly as nonsense, click the back button, and select another search result.
The users who got confused when by accident RRW ranked higher than Facebook because of an article with the word facebook and login.

But even for us "in the know"
Try and google for photoshop tutorials and you will have to wade through endless of these fake pages.
It is a real problem.
No wonder why there's so many phishing spams, people so uneducated for web usage must get owned all the time... Maybe it's time for primary school to teach children basics about how to use a computer a bit more safely. The problem with this is that every time I saw something like it, it was actually advertisement for Microsoft products dispensed by teachers who didn't knew what a url is (and they're not to blame for that).
You and I are almost certainly doing equally bizarre and convoluted things in other areas of our lives.
Instead of typing a search term into the search box and Ctrl+Arrow-ing to the search engine I want to use, with YubNub (in Firefox and Chrome, maybe IE?) you type in a command for what you want to do.
"g FDR" does a Google search of "FDR". b Bing, y Yahoo, yt YouTube, CNN, ESPN, IMDB, and on and on.
There's even some slightly stronger commands: "tr Chi Eng 晚安" uses Google Translate from Chinese to English, telling me "晚安" means "good night".
Yeah, I mostly use the "g" and "yt" commands, but I love the flexibility without having to arrange search engines. I just remember a few letters/commands. For a long time I'd resorted to typing "site:imdb.com" as my first search term into a Google search box. No more.
Also, you can define your own shortcuts! On a whim, I pointed XBLA to the Xbox Live marketplace at Xbox.com, and it works wonderfully. So now I can just type "xbla Trenched" and get to the page so I can buy the game with a click.
A few of their "Golden Egg" commands: http://yubnub.org/kernel/golden_eggs?args=
I believe multiple parameters are also allowed, but not having used them, can't vouch.
So in my url bar I can "g foo" to search "foo" using google, "wp foo" for wikipedia fr, "wpe foo" for wikipedia english, "imdb foo" for imdb, "yt foo" for youtube, "dm foo" for dailymotion, "gdv foo" to load the document which url is "foo" into google docs viewer, "tw" take me to twitter, "fb" to facebook, "hn" to Hacker News, "mail" to gmail, "reader" to google reader, "in" to linked in... I don't have to all list in my head, it's mostly a finger habits now.
What is really cool since firefox has the awesomebar is that it is aware of this and display the actual url so when i type "imdb foo bar" i see "http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=foo+bar at the top of the proposed url.
This is really handy for people like me who mostly use their keyboard: this powerful firefox feature is just a ctrl+L away when I'm already in firefox :-).
It could be better, certainly, but it's also being worked on.
