AN EXAMPLE FROM THE SHORT HISTORY OF INTERNET COMMERCE

Let's take a look at "FFA link farms" first. Along about 1997-98, someone came up withrepparttar 103718 idea of putting together a webpage that has 20 links on it for 20 separate businesses.

By providing a 25 word description, each link made its own contribution to permittingrepparttar 103719 page to deliver up to 500 keywords torepparttar 103720 search engines, and to provide an opportunity for website owners to gain additional visitors to their websites.

Soon, hundreds of thousands of people were utilizing free-for-all link farms to promote their businesses, providing tons of junk torepparttar 103721 search engine databases.

Eventually, spider search engine managers realized thatrepparttar 103722 key to their own success was high-quality, content-related, search results. As a result,repparttar 103723 spiders blockedrepparttar 103724 FFA link farms from their database, and penalized people who utilized them on their websites. Soon, whole domains were blocked fromrepparttar 103725 search engine databases as a result of their utilization of FFA link farms.

When only 200 people usedrepparttar 103726 FFA link farm approach to promote their businesses,repparttar 103727 idea was useful and perhaps even very effective. But oncerepparttar 103728 idea was advertised and hundreds of thousands of people were usingrepparttar 103729 system,repparttar 103730 system lost all of its original value.

If this concept was kept between its first 200 participants, thenrepparttar 103731 idea could have still been producing tremendous results for its users. Instead, it was turned over torepparttar 103732 masses that sucked all ofrepparttar 103733 life out ofrepparttar 103734 value ofrepparttar 103735 program.
