Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Round Table reports that AOL has come up with new technology:

AOL, for example, is embarking on a strategy of creating a plethora of niche websites through automated methods on which to place ads, partly through its own ad platform. It has called this “leaning into the fragmentation of the Web.

It ignited discussions on the forums and a post from Aaron Wall.

Love.com is a mashup of remixed twitter posts, youtube videos, aggressive 3rd party content snippets, automated cross linking, frame-jacked 3rd party content, pop-ups, automated subdomain spam, all pushed on a purchased domain name that had existing links.

Love.com is owned by AOL and apparently it is the website that uses this new technology.

In the previous article I talked about Eric Schmidt’s quote:

The internet is fast becoming a “cesspool” where false information thrives, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said yesterday. Speaking with an audience of magazine executives visiting the Google campus here as part of their annual industry conference, he said their brands were increasingly important signals that content can be trusted.

Google’s move to trust brand has already backfired in some categories and apparently AOL is taking advantage of the loophole full throttle, rolling out technology, that is designed to make money based solely on duplicate content. In a way they are doing black hat, out in the open, and getting away with the the SH*T.
