Learn to spam and learn SEO

June 2nd, 2008

It amazes me how much you learn about real world SEO from doing web spam. Many people seem to think that building or promoting sites for the corporate world is an entirely different game than making a simple spammy site for adsense or afiliate but for me the lessons you learn from spam apply across all that you do.

The main reason I believe this is that spam is SEO in the real world, its results driven work and it gives you feedback far quicker than long term client work will ever do.

These are some of the things that spam teaches you that have applications within safer SEO: -

  • Crawl rate and the effect of different linking, both in and out
  • Understanding where the user will look and click is vital to spam and has also helped me a great deal in revamping client sites
  • Spam makes you think on a page by page level – something that is often missing from the corporate world
  • How to kick start indexing when the bots arent playing the game
  • Places you can get content from and the risks attached
  • Tactics for Social media and how to use them well

    • Any more you can think of ?

    About SEOidiot

    Hi my name is Paul Madden and I am a UK SEO based in Lancashire, for years I have been cursed by the nickname SEOidiot which started life as a form of abuse from someone but you need to decide for yourself how accurate the term is.

    Quotes about me

    "Paul Madden is one of very few UK SEOs who actually practices what they preach. Most "full service" agencies promise the world and deliver nothing, others deliver the world and also deliver penalties and blacklistings after 3 months. I would happily trust a project of mine with Paul, knowing that he would deliver results without the nasty surprise at the end"
