		In order to combat this, they are supposedly creating hundreds of “cookie cutter” web pages (ones that are all basically the same) to spam the search engines into bringing back more positive results for prospective members.
		When asked about this allegation and the issue of the &#147;sporgery attacks,” Al Buttnor, director of public relations for the Church of Scientology in Canada, stated in an E-mail that the “Church has no involvement.” He did not elaborate.
