Fundamentally, this is because, along with Maplin (which is now IMHO

Even worse with Maplin is that it seems they use the search terms people
use on their site to poison and spam google results.

If ye go to their site and search for 'newel post cap', I'll bet then in
a couple of days searching google for the same will bring up a link for
Maplin, even though they don't actually stock anything that is
practically sensible for that search.

If that hypothesis is correct (and here ATM it seems so), then this
could be turned into a game.

"The most ridiculous entry that can be entered in google leading to a
Maplin link of 'compatible' products."
