Cheating and Making a Mess
I stumbled upon this website today. I have no idea who Brook Pifer is and the term "Rockstar Photographer" is a bit ambiguous (especially today), but Brook takes some nice pictures and her Flash site is impressive.
What bothers me, however, is the bush league attempt at trying to gain search engine rankings by bombing the source code with numerous links to the same blog and a list of keywords a mile long.
The funny part is, the site doesn't validate and all the keywords are outside the body tag.
Ha. If you're going to cheat, at least do it right.
In Brook's defense, I'm guessing she didn't actually do this herself. Plus, this is just one example in a sea of poor attempts by photography sites to trick search engines.
