I thought I'd try my usual check to see what the state of the art is. Googled "rivonia plumber" (where I live) and got pages like this: http://plumber-plumbers.co.za/index-rivonia-plumbers.html http://plumber-plumbers.co.za/index-rivonia-plumbers.html http://www.plumbersgauteng.co.za/gauteng-plumbers-areas/plumbers-plumbing-rivonia/ http://www.plumbersgauteng.co.za/gauteng-plumbers-areas/plum... That is so gamed. Keyword stuffing, repeated exact pages. I assume it's better in the US but surely the algos are run over the whole dataset? Is this a worldwide problem? When I first did that search I found nests of sites using exactly the same content and styles, with different areas. Same phone number across many sites, cross-linked out the wazoo. I don't have the interest to check now but it doesn't seem much better.
