I wasn't suggesting really doing anything that you mentioned. if you look at wills site he doesn't really have anywhere on the main page for "content in the form of verbiage" and if he did put all the content verbiage in there it sure would look funny! Partly it is a design flaw that a lot of clients want. I wasn't saying to break googles rules just to play inside of them. It's still the main page with relevant keywords and content verbiage, nothing out of line or out of character there at all but instead of having a click to continue button or an auto redirect, you just use a swf. Not all auto directs are bad but because they were over used they now are considered bad, so you just work around it.
Basically the way the bots work are gunna penalize legit sites like Wills because they chose not to litter the index page with the content of the site like the bots want. ---------------------------------------- From: Scott Barnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 6:12 PM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Search engine question This concerns me the most, you can trick the bots until you have a total monopoly on keywords. Yet, if someone reports you to google (and it happens) for hijacking traffic (only have to look at your competitors) and they then find you're hacking the bots, they blacklist you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:201101 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
