When SEO turns to Spam

02. Jun, 2009 0 Comments

An SEO firm has opened a base in Shepparton (where I live), and has recently been optimising their website for search engines.

Their efforts included making some videos and linking back to their website.

Looks like they got a bit too eager and started posting links to it where they shouldn’t have, and now when people search for their keyword, one of the first results is a link to a page where they were banned for spamming. Also on the page are comments from a bunch of people that are clearly annoyed by the spam.

5 years ago, SEO used to be about how many useless links you could get. Now it’s all about relevance and authority.
