So, I took a break from doing SEO work and such, but really as I noted in another post – things haven’t really changed much. Google is still full of spam and spam can get ranked by spamming. My blog gets hit more than ever with spam so I’ve dissabled comments on this blog for the most part because it’s just a pain to deal with.
This is pretty much all people do to get rank on google or other search engines.
1. Grab some low competition keywords, fill the post up with them.
2. Make some web 2.0 pages that link to the spam post with the keywords as the links to the post.
3. Run automated link spamming or hire indians to spam on blogs/forums, whatever.
4. Spam more links to the post with whatever means necessary.
5. Spam some more.
SEO still isn’t rocket science. It’s pretty freaking easy and I’m surprised things haven’t changed yet. The more “legit” way is to buy link placements on sites and such, or just write posts for other sites and get backlinks, but really it’s still all about links and people are still gaming the system more than ever. Content should be ranked based on quality not links.
