Now that you explained it I know what you're talking about. I've never really explored using this stratedgy to build a following cause I'm too damn lazy. Sure glad you're on top of it. Have a great week.

Chuck

Basically, they're keywords that bring your content to the top of a search, such as putting ten instances of "horseshoe crab" into an article about that (or not about that, but related).

I for one am tired of people deciding what I want to read based on SEO content.

Wendy, you've said it – ads that sound like infomercials. I get through one line and my eyes are rolling!

Would I take Job #1 or Job #2? That's a tough decision.

Frankly, I hate any ad that sounds like an infomercial. I haven't responded to Craigslist ads in a long time, but I do love to read through some of them for a good laugh.

Great comparison, as usual. I think these are really effective ways to make your point.

On a related note, did you all see this? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/11/business/media/11search.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha25

It talks about how Google may or may not be pushing down content farm results in searches and how a new search engine, Blekko, is doing it. Yay!

If content farm writers can't be convinced they can make more money, perhaps those facts will give them pause about the value of what they're churning out.

Are they making a difference with their work? If they do content farm work, I emphatically say no.
