Are we SEOs polluting the web?

bsun no you don't get it... in my example the guy isn't trying to "promote" anything, he just wants to share an honest information hoping that it would help other people like him. He has no time nor interest in promoting it. It's like if you go to the Himalaya and learn some secret meditation technique that cured your disease, and then you go back home and want to open a site to share your finding, in the hope that it will help other people in a similar condition... your valuable information will most likely never be seen (or it would take a couple years in the best case scenario) because the health niche is dominated by the big players.

All I'm saying is that true honest information is becoming hard to find... and I'm wondering if I as an SEO played a part in it (by promoting a couple shitty sites throughout my career to earn a living) :)

No, I'm not sure you quite get it.

Also, if you're doing your job correctly as an SEO then yes, you're polluting the fucking shit out of teh webs. I'm like the Exxon spill of the web, fuck yea.

I think most of us agree that what you get today on the 1st page of Google isn't necessarily what is mostly relevant to your query, it's the 10 websites that invested the most in SEO. (Apart from Wikipedia who's always gonna be there, thank god)

Is being an SEO spiritually right? lol

Think about the honest working mom who wants to find a way to make money at home to feed her 5 children. The top 10 results she'll get from keywords in that niche are probably gonna be from hungry marketers trying to push their aff links, adsense banners and all that shit. 10-15 years ago, she probably would have been able to get some real information from honest people lol

Same goes with other niches like health, Google's trying its best to push relevant sources, EDU and Authority sites, but SEOs are always able to get their shit on the 1st page in the long run LOL ...

picture this scenario: a guy goes to the Amazon jungle and finds a miracle herb to treat ED, and he wants to open a blog to share it with the public... his blog could be useful to millions of men yet more likely he will never be found, as we know companies like Pfizer spend millions in SEO to dominate that niche.

again thank god for Wikipedia... that's probably the best (and most honest lol) thing that happened to the Web since the last 10 years.

I think you need a lie down dear...LOL!!
 
When I was 5, some high school kid dared me $20 to shit in the public pool. Not sure if that's relevant, but the cause and effect appears similar.

That $20 sure bought a lot of Reeses.

Funny. When I was in K4. 2 Kids dared me to piss in the faucet. All 6 of them told on me after and I was giving a paddle. Cause and effect FTL
 
Even though good information is tougher to find on the net. It's counter-productive to think about it too much--and redundant to bring it up on an Affiliate Forum. I don't disagree with you OP. Particularly with all the BS Ezine (ESL) articles that dominate most search terms.

I personally see niches with useless garbage in the top ten, as a weakness that can be exploited. It shows where a lot of information is lacking, which can be used to create some branding opportunities.

With localized search indexes, your assertions will never become reality. For example, I will never see Chinese sites selling viagra in the search engines. Probably on some scrappy search engine like MSN or Yahoo, but not with Google. Why? I don't speak Chinese and don't live in China (just using this as example).

What metrics exists that will match me with a Chinese website in China selling Viagra as opposed to a local website in the search engines unless some hacker manages to vandalize a top positioned site? :rasta:

I'm not saying its impossible, but definitely not on the first page or second.

P.S. - when last have you even seen a Chinese website in the SERPS?
P.P.S. - I apologize if I'm drifting off-topic.
 
Google is a whorehouse.

The most successful scraper site on the internet requires that everyone who wants to use her services either pay outright or break their ass trying to sneak a feel.

This is to say nothing of all the business going on behind the scenes. (bribery extortion, collusion with big players and despotic governments)

This is 2010. Carlos da Silva from Venezuela could become France's largest online lingerie retailer as long as he's able to put together Francophone text and register the appropriate [.fr] ccTLD. Next he finds a SEO on DP or WF, and boom there's your competition.... there's more to it, yes, but increasingly the fact is anyone can have any [local] presence as more and more businesses operate international and intangible at the front.

ps; i do get the point you're trying to portray, but mate, someone registering a .cn that is hosted in china with chinese text, who then tries to rank for whatever you're offering......... yes of course that won't work. but is anyone that stupid ? i have yet to meet even a factory worker who brings that into his head. so i didn't even bother looking from that approach, sorry:)
 
What a gay song... seriously, what is up with all the girly rap/hiphop lately?

Although this thread is kind of retarded, I've actually semi-thought about this in terms of article marketers and those who use them a lot for backlinks. I've seen competitors pumping out 2-3 articles a day simply for the backlink to their site and for no other reason. Although that's just one guy, think of 1,000 or 10,000 people doing that for their site. That's a million articles a year being emitted that are pretty much worthless aside from their linking value. So in that sense, yes SEO's are "polluting" the web.

On the other hand, who gives a fuck?
