I have a site owner asking about this software.

Any one heard of it or used it.

So many things about this site are suspicious that its hard to know where to start.

First of all, if you depend on your website for your living, running any kind of game on search engine spiders is too risky to consider. If Google catches you playing games your site gets penalized and it can take months to recover.

Second, this is one of those great products to sell because it can be impossible to tell if its working or not. It reminds me of the woman who called in to Car Talk last week about the new car dealer's offer for rustproofing. You can't see it, you can't tell if they actually put it on your car, and you really can't tell if its done you any good. And today only, their $500 rustproofing job will only cost you 300 bucks! Such a deal!

Well, lets see. If you use this program, you have to re-engineer your site in some fashion to accomodate the search engine spoofing - users see one thing and search engine spiders see something else. So, at the end of the day, if your search engine rankings improve, can you really say it was a result of the spoofed pages generated by this program, or did the revamping of your site do the trick, or was it a combination of both? And if it doesn't help your ranking, the vendor can claim things like (a) it helped you on a different search engine - the one he recommends, or (b) you didn't give it enough qaulity raw material to generate good spoofing pages, or (c) if you hadn't installed it, your results would have been even worse because the search engines are changing their ranking algorithms (and, of course, its true - they're *always* changing the algorithms).

All that would be bad enough, but the kicker is the little pyramid scheme at the bottom of the page where he invites you to become a distributor for the program.

Go see http://www.google.com/webmasters/ where they've recently added some information about search engine optimization services.

Good fresh content, incoming links from relevant websites, and a clean link structure will do more for your site's rankings than this guy is ever likely to.

Good luck!

and, of course, its true - they're *always* changing the algorithms. Richard is on the money here as usual. Even if it does work today, there's no guarantee it will work tommorow. This is just the kind of program that, at least Google, keeps changing their ranking algorithms to keep having the best relevent searches.Good fresh content, incoming links from relevant websites, and a clean link structure This is the only TIME PROVEN CONSISTENT way of getting and keeping good rankings.

As an online producer with a specialty in SEO, I can comfortably say...
For the love of god, do not use this service!

Any time you see something that offers to trick search engines, avoid it like the plague.

What this page doesn't tell you is that having 1000 pages and having 10 pages doesn't impact your search rankings. The quality of your content, the way that content is reinforced, and who links to you and how is what affects your search rankings.

What this page also doesn't tell you is that if a search spider even begins to suspect you're fooling it, it will ban your site from its engine without a second look.

It doesn't matter if your client only has a few pages on his/her, as long as those pages have well formed content and a link exchange program that sees related sites linking to it with relevant keywords.

Thanks for the feedback.

This is basically what I said to them.

I have forwarded this thread to them in the hope they will not waste there US$150 ( A$300 ) on this type of software.
