BBC.co.uk - another miserable failure

Sunday, 08 April 2007

This kind of naive interpretation of the search engine optimisation industry, and the way search engines work makes my blood boil.

The 'link bomb' flaw that the journalist talks about, got fixed with an algorithm update ages ago and doesn't even work anymore. Funnily enough though, the #1 ranked site for 'miserable failure' is BBC.co.uk, which about sums up their coverage of the search engine marketing industry.

Last time the BBC published this kind of junk I contacted them and they edited the article, I guess I'll have to do it again.
