Keyword stuffing is alive and well in the SEO industry

Posted by stuart as stupid, spam, seo, search engine optimization

I was doing a little research today in my quest to rank first page in Google for SEO related terms in my home town , when I came across a page that was ranking first page for the term “Adelaide SEO”, but appeared to have no mention of the term in the copy of the page itself.

Cloaking? I wondered….didn’t seem to be.

Then I scrolled down the page. Down, and down, and down some more…..

Wow! This is what I found:

This is one of Adelaide’s most respected Web Development houses, flagrantly using, getting away with, and ranking with, an SEO tactic that is sooooo 1997 that you’d think that google would be all over it.
I feel sorry for any of their prospective SEO clients. If this is the tactics that they use on clients sites, there may well be website owners wondering why they paid good money for rankings worse than what they started with.
For shame….

lol. one of my target searches also has a competitor up to silly stuff but not quite that bad

if they are ahead of you just report them as spam ;)

they even have a category for “repeated words”

@ Mark - I’ve been mulling over that very thing. I’m leaning more toward not reporting them, just beat them into submission with good SEO.

God knows I have a few sites out there which wouldn’t pass a manual review from google. I’m not really fussed if someone reports one of these sites, I’d just be pissed if I was one of this company’s clients and I found out that the methods that they were using on my site got my site banned.

I tend not to report grey hat stuff,black hat stuff. Like Stuart, when you are knee deep in spam yourself, You are in Karma zone. You don’t report, so you, dont get reported.

Well, that is one hell of keywords and knowing that it still works, maybe some would try still it. But ofcourse, they have to pay the price.

@ Wilson - You’re right, it’s a karma thing

@ SEO Services - so you’ve done work for AT&T and Motorola huh?

That’s ridiculous! Can’t you report that or something if you want to move ahead of them? I can’t believe they rank first with that blatant keyword stuffing.

hahahaha.. epic.. old school move.. BLACKHAT SEO baby..

LOL…….how google can allow this. Don’t try. I agree this falls in Black Hat
