	Spamdexing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spamdexing or search engine spamming is the practice of deliberately creating web pages which will be indexed by search engines in order to increase the chance of a website or page being placed close to the beginning of search engine results, or to influence the category to which the page is assigned.
		Spamdexing refers exclusively to practices that are dishonest and mislead search and indexing programs to give a page a ranking it does not deserve.
		The rise of spamdexing in the mid-1990s made the leading search engines of the time less useful, and the success of Google at both producing better search results and combating keyword spamming, through its reputation-based PageRank link analysis system, helped it become the dominant search site late in the decade, where it remains.

		Spamdexing often gets confused with legitimate search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, which do not involve deceit.

	Blog: David Loshin: Learning from Spamdexing
		This type of spam, called spamdexing, targets newsgroups, blogs, guest lists, forums - any public, open web forum where comments can be posted.
		The objective of spamdexing is to add spurious links to web pages to increase the chance that search engines will place the targeted web site at the top of its result lists.
		As I mentioned before, but slightly rephrased: the goal of spamdexing is to exploit what can be understood about the way search engines do their magic to try to coerce them into optimizing for the specific spammer's requirements.

	SEO Ideas - Forums Ventanazul
		We were talking on another thread about using text at the bottom of a page with some related (and maybe unrelated) keywords, what do you think about that?, I think that even if it's not hidden text still can be considered spamdexing, because it's there only for the search engines, no for the users.
		Obviously they have nothing to do with the site's topic, they were put there so somebody searching for something like "2004 toyota solara in atlanta for sale" will get there, this is against the search user experience, you are looking to buy a toyota solara en get into a jewelry store
		One of the main goals of any search engine is giving their users the most relevant results, give them exactly what they are looking for (or at least the best guess), that's why the terms I'm mentioning, and maybe others, are not helping and could be considered spamdexing.

	Dan's Web Tips: Titles, META Tags, LINK tags, and Search Engine Robots
		Unfortunately, due to extensive abuse by spamdexers, search engines don't make much use of these tags nowadays, which is a shame because they could be very useful if used honestly and logically.
		These sorts of things are collectively referred to as "spamdexing," due to their similarity to "spamming" of e-mail and newsgroups in an attempt to push your message on possibly unwilling recipients.
		Incidentally, without the slightest bit of spamdexing or other sneaky and underhanded tactics, and without contriving my content to the eccentricities of particular search engines or paying any submission service big bucks, I've managed to do very good for myself in the area of search engine indexing.
