It's CONTENT stupid!
It is time the so called
SEO/SEM experts help keep the internet real. I believe a lot of these individuals don't have a good understanding of how the system is suppose to work. Those that do are more interested in making a buck or two to care.
Internet is suppose to be a digital library with the search engines acting as the librarians. We all know that the old card catalog system (Library of Congress) is all the user needs to find a book in the local library. Now that we no longer use the card catalog, why can't we try and replicate the that system in the digital form.
The librarians (search engines) are right in banishing the sites that try to fool the system. Afterall we will not be happy to find our favorite recipe book in the local library filed under home improvements.
I believe that if these folks follow honest
SEO paths and let their design and content be deciding factors. The system will function the way it is meant to function.
That is my 2¢ worth :-)
