January 14, 2008A Pox on the InterNOTHas anyone else noticed how every time you use google or some other search engine to search for anything these days, no matter what it is - most of the results are some sort of bot-generated page of text ? It's jammed with almost nothing but sales pitch sentencestfilled with your keywords. It's surrounded on every side by ads. And menus of links with your keyword. If you click through on any of the links, you just get more of them. There's no actual content whatsoever. It's not internet, it's internot. It's the cyperspace equivalent of trying to F%&*k yourself. Almost like some sort of, I dunno, ponzi spam. Somebody in the biz must know what these evil pages are called. And more importantly, we need a commonly accepted clever name for these vile things. so we can declare war on them, and punish those responsible with the most heinous of retribution. Anyone got a name? Posted by Kranky Kritter at January 14, 2008 05:04 PMComments
Can't say I have... most of the terms I search for the first few pages of results (more than I usually end up looking at) all seem to be real. Posted by: Joshua Macy at January 14, 2008 06:41 PMPlease post a comment
