Nasty Airline Tickets Spam Doorway

[Kal]

I came across this page many months ago (on Google I think) within the top 10 results for "cheap airline tickets", when I was researching the same phrase for a client :
http://airlineticketsw.net/cheap.html

I bookmarked the site thinking that it would be removed before too long for hideous spamming techniques. Nope!

Just went to the URL for the first time in 6 months, and there she blows: invisible text, hidden links from popular site (block the page text with your mouse and scroll to the bottom if you dare), shocking keyword tag stuffing, the lot. It's like a text book for "how to spam the engines".

I haven't checked if they are still listed in the engines, I sincerely hope not, but they'll be reported if they are...

These people give SEO a bad name!!

[edited to include the URL which I forgot in my rage!]

WOW. That is real bad. A disgrace.

The clickable links are even hidden. The visible words cannot be clicked. Not sure how much good the page would do even if ranked as there is no way to click anywhere that can be seen.

Real bad, real niave, real stupid, real idiot, duh, ... it's hard to believe there are actually people out there that are doing this kind of stuff. Where do they come from? What rock do they crawl out from under? sheesh.
