Pointless to waste time on "testing" these, I would think, since Google’s likely detecting and banning these methods now if they haven’t already.
What would seem like a better list are methods of hiding text that are ’legal’ in Google’s eyes.
I still think its fun to read this. I wasn’t aware of a couple in there... not that I’ll try them, but it’s a little bit of a historical SEO lesson for the non-old-school SEOs out there ;)
Nothing new here... but I’m a sucker for Numbered Lists on How to do Things... Sphunn!
>jill What if your client don’t want to change page text ? For example they want to be rank on a their competitor name without doing some advertising for them ?
What? You forgot the NOFRAME?! This piece-of-crap-tag still works. :)
What about those technique with "skip navigation" "skip to main content" invisible for the user links on top of the page and invisible h1 header under the image logo, like for exmaple on the merix.com.pl website mentioned in the best SEO designs article?
