:::How is highlighting the content of ones site "playing dirty?" Please explain this to me. As somebody who works for an SEO company, there are two types of SEO: black hat and white hat. Black hat SEO is the dirty stuff: Spamming and misleading spiders and gaming the algorithms. White hat SEO, on the other hand, is merely optimizing your content in an '''honest''' way to ensure that search spiders can properly crawl your site: Linking to internal pages and using '''accurate''' keywords that summarize your content. --[[User:Captain Cornflake|Captain Cornflake]] 02:48, 21 March 2010 (UTC) | :::How is highlighting the content of ones site "playing dirty?"

::::Let me put it like this, nice and clear: it's dirty in terms of how you promised fairness in your competition. The point of a wiki is to provide information in the form of content on a specific topic(s), in a polished and complete form, and then advertise such content on the Main Page. However, after reading what [http://forums.zeldainformer.com/topic/6260-guys-who-is-with-me-lets-start-a-metroid-wiki/page__st__140__p__128102&#entry128102 you guys have said yourself], it becomes quite clear to us that you only want to boost your Google search ratings by "highlighting" stubs using Metroid keywords webcrawlers search for. Additionally, Captain Cornflake happened to paraphrase our ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' article while setting up the SEO paragraph, and that does not sound like a coincidence to me. So it isn't fair play as far as we're concerned, and unless you really think that what you said at ZI there is a complete lie, and that you didn't paraphrase our article ([[Talk:Luminoth#Content paraphrasing|which you happen to admit here]]), please explain to me how that doesn't constitute trying to use SEO in the fashion I've talked about. Captain Cornflake, I'm not going to even bother with your last statement. I would have brought that up in a report to Google in such a case if I really wanted to, and as you can see, that's not even my point. If you'd like to join this discussion, keep it on-topic, please. | |||
::::Now, like I said, if you decide to play fair, and not attempt to use SEO in lieu of actually creating the content yourself, we won't even bother with Metroid Wiki about this particular topic. However, if you don't play fair, and instead try to "cheat" by abusing keywords, "stealing" our articles, and other dirty SEO tactics, let it be known that we will do what we will as we see fit.
