Google Blocks 'Optimized' Pages
Rhett Creighton writes "For the past few years, webmasters have found tricks that bring their page higher for a given keyphrase search.

Obviously it is still possible to scam google. To web experts: how do they do it?

... no, not at all!
Rather, it was that thousands of obscure websites got promoted!

If you disagree with me on social issues, then it's pretty clear that you are a narrow-minded bigot.
Not really. "I'm feeling lucky" that I, unlike the gentleman in the picture, do not have a 6" diameter asshole.
