ya that bad thing here is that the SEs could spot it and ban either one or both sites.
I was talking to Krystall about this just yesterday and I think if google, or yahoo or whoever, is going to take that stance of banning for the reason of spam, that they easily have to resources to find out which site was there first.
and that they should make this small effort or stand to lose quality sites since they are bound to pick the cheat 50% of the time to leave up.
and I ask you, despite the fact that both sites look pretty much the same. knowing that most the links don’t work, the images aren’t there, is it in google’s favor to choose to ignore this and allow perhaps as much as 50% of the sites that come back in their results having the difference you see now between the two sites?
whether they’ll be that smart or not; remains to be seen, but it IS in their own behalf to take some sort of stance on being a just policer, and not just a policer.
