[LazyJim]

[ferret77]

THANK you for the research, my website has only been up for a couple of months, before that it was just a single page.
One question:
If they have all the populartity in the world? Why resort to hidden text? Further more, why isn't google doing anything about it?

[ferret77]

a awile ago , could get top lisitngs by just putting your keywords in the text over and over again, it might be left over from then, what google is doing is most likely not giving them any points for having it, they just ignore it

[LazyJim]

well it's great if they are ignoring the keyword spamming when ranking the pages.

but you can't tell me content has nothing to do with search engine results.

and what about the other tricks with door-way pages n whatever?

One thing worth mentioning:
When doing a search, the results come up with the words in used in the hidden text. For some reason I believe content does matter. I wonder what would happen if I'd use it.
