They were showing a bit on SEO and internet marketing. Went through a few google bombing and keyword stuffing concepts. Why would they show something like this? Im sure 99% of the people just switched the channel... But anyways, they also showed a few interviews with some SEO guys and one of them said that having over 100 pages is a major factor in SEO... WTF!? First time i hear about this.
Nope, didn't see it as no tele, but I just read this new article on the BBC site on black hat SEO. Seems to be similar to what you saw on BBC News. I'm pleased a mainstream news provider is giving an insight to the general public on such things.
I dont thing general public cares much. When someone asks me what i do, i just say internet marketing. If i go into any more detail most people stop being so interested.
That 100 pages requirement does not make sense, for example if you have wordpress or some dynamic site installed, how its going to count the pages, i mean most of these programs have tons of links. i don't think, thats true either
cicogal, ninjashoes That's what i thought. Why could not they pick someone from DP for an interview? If he was to say:" Having more than one page could be beneficial" i would understand but where did he get the 100 pages from?
