Report on Mestergronn.no

A new report from SEO Spam Cops is now released. It shows how the site Mestergronn.no uses doorway pages and how the SEO company behind them, Aleksika, uses link generating spam sites (a kind of link farms) to boost the ranking by making numerous links directly to the doorway pages.

Update 7.february: Mestergronn.no removed all the Doorway pages immediatly after the release of the report and says that they did not know this technique was violating the SEO guidelines.  We thank Mestergrønn.no for quick response.

Prioritet.no - Update

SEO Spam Cops is monitoring these websites and reports the findings to Google.

On www.interdekk.no the menu is changed to “seo sider” as you can see in the updated list below. This is not done by Prioritet.no but by AdNow.dk which claims that the menu “seo sider” with the underlying Doorwaypages on the domain “http://interdekk.adnow.dk/interdekk/” is following the Google Guidelines. Well, it is not but Interdekk seems to believe AdNow and until then Prioritet will not implement their new seo solution for Interdekk.no.

Here is the list per Des 19th 2007:

Noframes with SE friendly text

In the good old days when frames still were considered the state of the art, it was not unusual to use NOFRAMES so that those with browsers that didn’t handle frames could have an alternative text to see.

Some bright heads found out that this also could be used to manipulate the search engines by showing the users something else than the search engines.

DirektMedia hiding Prioritet menu

Most Prioritet customers try/tried to stow away the Prioritet menu as much as possible. DirektMedia.no hides it completely.

Hebbs.no with hidden H1-flooding

Norwegian website hebbs.no have tried a curious trick to lure keywords through an H1-tag without users seeing them.

Do they think Google don’t care? - Update

Just a few Prioritet.no customers have removed the Menu and the accompanying Doorwaypages. SEO Spam Cops is monitoring these websites and reports the findings weekly to Google. Here is the list per Sept 20.:

Since Aug.22 the following sites have removed Menu and DP:

Optimaliser.no is cleaning up

The SEO company that made a Prioritet like semi-hidden menu with links to all their customers is now cleaning up. They have taken action to remove all the dirty stuff on their clients’ pages. This is very good news for them and their clients.
