It's a bit 'wordy' isn't it?

Yes this is really an excellent example of how it shouldn't be done...

I would have thought that search engines were clever enough to spot such deliberate spamdexing and act accordingly.

All that effort ploughed into on page factors - you would think that they would have taken some more care on the <title> tag. ;-)

I feel uneasy linking to others sites for criticism, they may follow the referrer back.

I've seen this happen in the past, and it was not pleasant

Fair point. I have edited the post so the link is not clickable and people can type it in themselves.

I saw the site before now the link is not there I can say what I wanted to do. I find that site rather poor and I find it amazing that website producers can make such a basic mistake. Surely they realise its actually considered as spamming in the search engines eyes?

The curiosity took the better of me and I had to take a look and wow that is keyword stuffing to the extreme!

If he hasn't been penalised already by the search engines I am sure he will be!

Either he's had a go himself or had some really bad advice. It's a shame people believe that keyword stuffing will enhance your postition.

Good honest content and linkbacks would work so much better!

This shows you that indexing the WWW is still a big problem.
