Question SEO spam?

I've seen a lot of webmasters complaining about other sites using jeyword spam - ie, rows of reduced size text at the bottom of the page, consisting of nothing but keywords, intended entirely for the search engines but not the human user.

The question is - why not join them?

If sites are not penalised for this sort of behaviour, then is there a very real reason why other webmasters should not follow suit? How would search engines deal with that sort of situation?

Default Re: SEO spam?

Hey there Brian.

My answer to why don't I join them.

Search engines are strange creatures and can turn on you in an instant. If they decide
that this is not acceptable they may just slam you right to ground zero.

I have really had no problem getting top listing for most of my keywords and a lot of
the phrases in my content, so I don't see the need for it.
