Black Hat SEOs Replace Usama As Most Wanted
In response to growing discontent at the state of search engine spam on many SEO forums, the FBI has bowed to intense pressure and released a new 10 most wanted list, that includes 8 known Black Hat spammers, as well as inconsequential mass criminals such as Usama bin Laden and Drug Lord Diego Leon Montoya Sanchez.
An FBI spokesman said it had become “… increasingly clear to us that SE spam is as bad as crimes such as Bank robbery, murder, drug dealing and organised crime. As such, we have decided to make SE spammers our number one target for 2006, and we will stop at nothing to capture the offenders.”
Amongst the rewards offered are the usual $100,000, as well as “… upto ten backlinks” which the FBI has promised will be on “…high PageRank FBI pages, with the inherent TrustRank benefits that offers, along with the anchor text of the informants choosing upto and including 100 characters.” The FBI further guaranteed that these pages will stay live indefinitely, further boosting their SEO appeal.
Whilst many in the industry have appluaded the move, and see this as a validation of years of pressure about the ills of SE spam, not everyone is happy. Said a noted Victim’s Rights advocate, “SE spam is as bad as mass murder? Man, methinks the FBI has been smoking some of the Crack they impounded from Latin America.”
