After visiting the site, I realized that the directory barely had a set of guidelines that the owner adheres to. A well organized picnic of keyword stuffing in title and description(...) The guy seemed to be approving every single site without any reconsideration whatsoever. I just made a post in the thread and added a link to this page ...It's unfortunate how so many people act on ignorance. However, it's even more upsetting when people get to make money by "selling" links...no review involved, no service involved, no values involved!

People are often running after visitors who don`t buy their stuff. This way, they will get banned by Google and will not sell what they want to sell. So, the best is to think twice and use only relevant keywords in original articles/blogposts. If I am looking after "immortality" and Google refers me to a site where I see something else, I will do only one thing: exit the site.

As soon as they get "discovered" most of the already have another site almost completed to take its spot. I could be wrong but I just don't see them with any long term marketing goals with this strategy. It is sad, really but they must be making some money at it or why would they be doing it? What can we do to help keep these sites to a minimum, that is the question.

However, it does beg the question of whether there will be a later announcement about a Matt Cutts Alien Cemetary. :-D I wonder how many people actually search for an alien cemetary, happen upon this Website and say to themselves, "Hey, I want to live forever ... I'll give this a whirl." I am scaring myself now, but I had to know what the US Patent and Trademark Office had on file for number 5,989,178. I learned that you can even wear these on your feet! :-D This is an awesome example of keyword stuffing.

This site is getting more public due to this and if this goes on then certainly it will not need any search engine to be visible. Thus people searching net will surely be misguided and this will be only because of this publicity, even i am also indulging myself in this act.

That just pushes down all of the sites of those of us who run legitimate alien cemetaries. In all seriousness, this page did show up for "keyword stuffing", which I am thrilled with, as I needed something for a presentation I'm doing tonight at Columbia. Even though I'm sure you're not reading this, a belated 10-month old thanks, Matt :) It offends me that this page is now ranking for “alien cemetary”.
