It's on a free server, I don't understand how they manage to cloak like that.
You can see it all if you save the page and load it into dreamweaver.

I believe this is their secret:
<style type="text/css"><!-- u {font-size: xx-small; visibility: hidden;} h1 {font-size: xx-small; visibility: hidden;} --> </style>

Using Netscape 4.7, nothing was hidden at all. The small text was just obscured by the disgustingly ugly and busy background. Real professional...hehehe

Nasty little site. I close my browser and then another one opens. This is the worst thing anyone can do to me. This is just my opinion, but this is something that the seedy side of the porn industry uses (read = spam). Any legit site doesn't need to use this type of advertising.

GAWD. That is ugly. That is creditcardmatrix.com advertising for nextcard.com . Just an affiliate that has not grown up yet and is a very NIAVE SPAMMER. ALL those credit card companies are SPAMMERS.

LOL That really is the most base level of spam as far as I'm concerned. The reason that hidden text really annoys me is that it just plain and simply isn't needed!
It's for those that can't put a string of legible sentences together to form good quality relevant content. I have no time for the users of such a ridiculous and totally pointless tactic. Further, what does it really say about the company? They are creative? Clearly not. They are professional? Clearly not. They are trustworthy? Clearly not. Oh dear. Not looking too good really is it.
I hope they find the link to this thread in their stats.

Another classic case of how not to do it.
This is the company that have knocked me down to number three (MarkyMark is no longer sat right on top of me.)

Wow - a classic PositionWeaver page. They didn't even take the time to write it themselves. Didn't know they still worked.
Well - that was pretty dumb of me - it IS PositionWeaver.

I actually feel sorry for the people that make pages like those mentioned above. They are clearly deluded, and it may be that they need proffesional help.

Maybe that's the new SEO niche.
"Psychological help for the clinically deluded"
Expect to see an offering from JH Enterprises any day now!

Too late, I've copyrighted the right to offer proffesional help for deluded SEO's.
Expect to see my book "Cure Deluded Spammers" in the shops for Christmas.

23-10-2001, 12:36/12:36PM
LOL Can I write the forward? Or the backward if that is still available.
Anyway, I'm willing to bet my life that the JH Enterprises legal team (his Mum) are on the case. I see a long drawn out battle or another of those Java type wars.

Exactly Doug.
If I had a gauntlet, I'd be throwing it down to JH's legal team.
I say "Just bring it!!"

You don't have a gauntlet? I have heard that JH Entrprises have a nice line of SEO Throwing Gauntlets availalbe. (Referrer ID 38563983:w52375)

I threw my last gauntlet down about a month ago. I was challenged to help a deluded SEO by another SEO. I threw the gauntlet down, saying I could. I've yet to replace that gauntlet.
By the way the SEO that required help is currently in a "suitable institution"

PS Can I pay you in gauntlets?

23-10-2001, 13:00/01:00PM
There is nowhere to sign up. Using my SEO powers, I will feel your delusion, and I will come to you.
And yes you can pay in gauntlets. I also accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and chickens.

There's no interest to pay with chickens. They are the currency of the future. They might even have been the currency of the past. "I'll give you 12 chickens for your daughter!"

My daughter is worth at least 17 chickens.

Mazy,
Backing up a little. Whilst I am sure it was quite uncomfortable to have me sat right on top of you, what was the search term for that ?
