eBay guide "Top 8 Kilts"

[unixken]

Oh, the "wrong"... It burns!
I responded with a link to the "1 Kilt 10 Looks" thread.

Well, with several comments now directing folks here, I suspect that any damage that might occur will be deeply mitigated.

Thanks folks!

Ebay guides are sort of like Wiki articles. Anyone can write them on any subject. There is no oversight, review process or any attempt to verify the information presented by the author.

Looking at the photos it is a good chance that this was written by one of the Pakistani sellers.

If anyone feels they can do better they are free to try. But with over 20,000 ebay guides already on everything from pimping your phone to restoring a vintage Ford Falcon I doubt anyone will ever even see it or more importantly, read it.

Having hired an SEO company who has tried to write content for me in the past (which I have had to majorly overhaul and / or completely scrap due to errors), I would wager a guess that this is not written by a Pakistani company, but an SEO company. The keyword stuffing (use of incorrect terms like "Plaid" b/c that's how many uneducated people search google for a kilt... "Plaid Kilt" or some such), the drivel, the completely INACCURATE facts, the use of 'keywords' as correct when they are blatantly wrong, making up facts, pretending to be an expert, etc. The cross-linking of content back to Ebay pages.

SEO companies do this to improve rankings on Google and Yahoo and Bing. It's what these companies 'want to see'... new content, topical content, content with words people are searching on... especially in 'header' positions, etc.

SEO companies serve a purpose from a business perspective, but can be very slimy in many ways. Don't even get me STARTED with their rates per hour...

I'm sure you are right Rocky, regrettably an English one at that. The grammar is too good for a foreign input.
