Don't get your hopes up ...Don't get your hopes up ...Posted Jul 24, 2008 2:51 UTC (Thu) by quotemstr (subscriber, #45331)In reply to: Don't get your hopes up ... by rahvin Parent article: The Death of Google's Patents (Patently-O)
I thought the vast majority of garbage sites in search results were there because they were able to game the system, not because they were paying search engines *per se*. I know that if doing that were possible, even for Yahoo and MSN, management at my job would have jumped at the chance. I suspect Google's spidering and filtering is still ahead of the pack, though by not nearly as much anymore. Not that people realize it: it seems like every two months or so, we still have someone proffering to "drive millions of visitors to our site" by "optimizing our industry-standard META tags, which will search engines what your site is about."

They aren't necessarily offering to produce garbage results pointing to your site, though, are they? It could be as legitimate as they say it: getting your site to show up in searches done by people who are looking for sites like yours. For example, maybe your pages don't contain the keywords that your prospective customers think of when they think about what you're selling.
