Looks good, but they really need to weed out some spammy websites from their index.

For example, all the <domain>.<something>stats.com sites that try to get traffic when people search for various brands, or this strange one: http://www.loginto.org/<domain>-login (apparently it tries to steal login credentials, or I don't see the point).

eek--thanks for the heads up. Not to subject you to that again but do you remember what the subdomain was? Was it content from http://stats.com/ ?
There are a bunch of these subdomains that somehow get a high ranking:

clearwebstats.com pandastats.net cubestat.com allwebsitestats.com

(all in the top 10 results for one particular domain)
