If you are a regular reader of this blog, then I’m sure you saw the keyword spam I wrote yesterday. I mainly did it for a test. This blog has always been a target of splog scraping blogs. I get content syndicated all the time and for the most part I ignore it. I know a lot of people complain about the practice of this all the time and while yes it is annoying and the spammers get a little of your content for free. At least that has been my experience, if they took the entire article then I would get perturbed, but for a sentence or two I’m not going to spend my time chasing them down, especially when they leave me a link.

Well lately the spammers have left me along and have not been grabbing my content at all. Then the other day when I posted my ten steps to better Adsense earnnings they jumped all over me. And when I say jumped my Askimet filter filled up. One tihng I noticed is some of the sites that linked to that post where not of the make money type splog. I had Weight Loss splogs, Golf Tip splogs and a host of others. Well it occurred to me, since they are going to do this anyway how can make them work for me. So I set down and started thinking of all the keywords I could think of and I wrote my keyword filled post. Well what do you think happened. They jumped all over me again.

From the two posts, I gained 32 backlinks to my blog, now these are not great links and I would be surprised if I every got a visitor because of them, but they did kick my technorati authority up three points and lowered my rank 6K spots. Now this is not something I would do a lot, but its interesting that a technique such as this could be used to trick the spammers into working a little for you. Afterall they are going to steal your content anyway, you might as well get a little something back.

***Update**** I need to do a little update to my figures above. Since they liked this post too, I’ve gained 9 more backlinks and Technorati jumped another 7 Authority points with another 8K jump in blog spot.  If I could get a couple of you readers to write  a post and link to this one, then I could break 100 in Authority now.

Technorati tags: splogs, scrapers, technorati, adsense, weight loss, golf tips, seo, backlinks

Simple these are all terms that are targets of auto bots. These bots target keywords with weight loss, Golf Training, Dog Training, Surgery, Adsense, Cancer, Beauty aids and Acne treatment as soon as they hit the search engines. So why write about these items they seem so off base from the main topic of this site. And they are but what happens to a post the has tips for Golf, and the greatest way to lose weight ever., while at the same time giving you tips to combat cancer and get the best chance of a successful surgery. If you can ad methods to treat acne in adolescents then you have a serious link bait article for the bots.

If you keep repeating words such as Weight Loss and Tips for improving your Gold swing, while you are improving your adsense earnings, would that cause the bots to come a calling. Could this help a site in some manner. Perhaps to help push it over a certain level with a blogging site. Afterall if you blog about improving your health so you can swing a Golf club better what does that do. These are the questions that must be answered. Fat people can’t really swing a golf club well, because they get tired easily. The truth are the bots are going to call when you include certain keywords and most of the time these keywords can be determined by the hot words with Adsense. After all Adsense is all about targeting the correct keywords to get high paying Adsense ads. This can be done easily with the proper keywords. But if the words are Weight Loss, and the article teaches you have to effectively train your dog or take care of your discus fish, you may trick the bots into generating links for you which help you in the search engines and help you with attracting the highest paying keywords. What would happen if there was a blog post that had a lot of these high paying keywords for Adsense and was targeted towards people who wanted to lose weight and improve their gold swing so they could lower your Golf score and handicap. The post would not make for interesting reading or would it. Might be better to show than to tell. What would happen if you improved your Golf score by 20 strokes. Wouldn’t that be cool. You could play golf great and probably lose weight at the same time. Of course to lose weight while playing golf, you would have to walk and not ride the little cart around the golf course. And it would be very important that you don’t drink beer while trying to lose weight with your golf exercise program. You could bold all the keywords in your article and it would probably help add weight to your adsense keywords and make the bots lust after your content.

The ariticle would not make good reading, but one post our of hundreds would your visitors forgive you as you tested your weight loss, golf tips, while you train your dog to lose weight and tech your dog to swing a golf club better, Afterall your dog may need some decent treatment for that difficult to combat teenage acne. If done properly the acne treatment would really work as you train your dog to complete in dog shows. Of course you would need a lot of keywords to really make them hungry or would too many be an overkill for attracting the bots to your Adsense rich posts. You may even need to create some new categories to see give the bots all they want. Let’s see what happenings. Part 2 comes tomorrow or maybe Friday as I’m traveling.
