Often when I’m explaining keyword density to clients, they come up with the idea of adding hidden text to their pages. Usually I then have to explain that it isn’t an orginal idea and it probably isn’t a good thing to do. Anyway for those of you who are a little slow to catch on here are a couple of recent examples from Google blogger Matt Cutts of websites caught out for gaming search engines with hidden text.
If you really must use link exchange software, then it pays to send yourself a test email just to check that it is working. The credibility of the email below is destroyed because the placeholder [Name] wasn’t substituted with a domain name. How can people believe that your request is sincere if the email is obviously created from a templete?
Hello ********,
I recently visited your Site http://www.[Name] and really liked it. It is very professional, well designed and easy to navigate.
The content of your site is also very relevant to the site I manage: http://www.*******/
So, I am intrested for link Exchange with your site.
There is a great thread on the Highrankings.com forum about the tactics some SEO’s will use to get customers. In the case in question a cold caller used questionable techniques (inc. bordering on blackmail) to try to sell their services.
This is a great example of what not to submit to someone’s links page.
The website http://www.drugs-kingd0m.info
http://www.jewelry-kingd0m.info
http://www.piercing-kingd0m.info has been submitted for listing in the ****** websitehttp://www.drugs-kingd0m.info
http://www.jewelry-kingd0m.info

All kind of jewelry!

I wonder whether the SEO’s at World Jeevansathi are ‘all there’. Not content with spamming dating site profiles they’re also engaging in comment spam. Shame. Shame. Shame

Of course 90% of our contact form spam stopped the moment we installed the following php function into our form to mail scripts. That at least will give you a good idea of the industries that do this sort of thing.
function checkspam($variable)
{
$poowords = array("casino",
"penis",
"gambling",
"poker",
"escort",
"pharmacy",
"generic drugs",
"cialis",
"viagra",
"bcc:",
"content-type:",
"to:",
"cc:"
);
$variable = strtolower($variable);
foreach ($poowords as $val1) {
if (strpos($variable, $val1) !== false) return "true";
}
}
Haven’t seen one of these for a while. As far as I can remember our contact form doesn’t say “Please send us promotions for your stupid mobile content affiliate program” - and that is why this is spam..!
