I was perusing our local public radio website today and noticed something odd about the way they are trying to garner good page-rankings with search engines. Within the head of many HTML pages, meta-data may be placed that is intended to guide browsers and search engines - tell them in which language the page is written, indicate the presence of news feeds, and give some keywords that search engines can use to find and categorize the page. I would assume that KRCC’s site would employ such keywords as: Colorado Springs, public radio, news, npr, culture, arts, etc. to draw visitors who are searching for such things. Instead, I found this in their code for a story about a sweet, old woman who continues the tradition of colcha embroidery in the San Luis valley of Colorado:

replica watch, replica watches, ringtones url, url replica, replica rolex, replica, url, watch, watches, rolex, ringtones, free, topwatchsite, mforum, forumup, cartier, repwatch, bellross, quality, musihits, swiss, bell, designer, xanax, mobile

Might I suggest that they toss in “Britney,” “American Idol,” and “Boobs” if they really want to crank things up a notch?
