Is Google Breaking Their Own Rules?

Here is a page as viewed by the public and the same page as viewed by a search engine (their cache)." Note that the titles in the cache are employing classic keyword stuffing, presumably to improve rankings.

    It's the fact that the title is different when a search engine views it versus when a person views it. Feeding different information to a search engine (with more keywords) is currently frowned upon, as people have abused it.

    Check the *title* of the two links. One has a comma separated list of keywords.
