Smartpages are highly optimized pages which draw stampeded of search engine traffic to your website....or so
sales blurb goes. The fantasy is that smartpages are
push-button answer to online success. The reality is quite far removed from that. In
world of online marketing everybody is striving to gain any advantage over
competition. To that end some people are willing to go to any lengths to gain a foothold online. When smartpages first appeared they seemed
answer to every search engine optimizers dream. Feed in a list of keywords and out comes thousands of highly optimized pages for you to upload.
One small problem. Smartpages are nothing but redirects. The pages generated by these programs are filled with hyperlinks and Heading tags that "fool"
search engines into thinking these are actually relevant pages of content. Therein lies
problem. If you're out to fool any search engine then you're looking at short term benefit and long term problems for your business.
Let's make this clear. Smartpages offer no true value to
search engine or web surfer. They are designed for one purpose - to send traffic to sales pages. The unfortunate fact is that any dummy can assemble a list of keywords and upload their smartpages in just a few minutes. Yet again
search engine results are skewed because they constantly have to filter these junk pages from their indexes. I wonder did
creator of these products ever pause and take account of
damage they've caused to search engine results worldwide? Not one of them has ever stepped forward to speak up on this matter.
