Summarizing: pollute the Internet with cheap content as hard as you possibly can and then "milk" it.
Assume my company has finally nailed the text recognition, I must tell you I'd be disappointed by having the need to employ $10/article English majors to keep my site "up to date".
The issue I'm having with SEO is this: if millions of fake articles/blogs didn't generate so much noise, my hypothetical speech recognition startup would have gotten a few rave reviews organically via handful of legit tech news outlets and that would be enough. But thanks to the current situation this won't be enough (I know from experience) - you need to spam the hell out of everybody to "be in".
I am sad watching Google losing the battle... It is beyond me how Digg pages (that only have a link!) show up higher in search results than the actual content they're pointed to?
Just yesterday I wanted to learn more about SAN storage and no matter what I searched for I could only get "buy! buy! buy!" links on Google's front page, until I retreated to wikipedia. Look at this crap (below), how could it possibly be included in the index, the text-to-link ratio (as well as text-to-dd) is horrendous, why not just ignore these?
