Whatever an all-too-clever "SEO" can implement, sooner or later, a
spyder can be written to detect. If a browser can interpret it, a
spyder can be written to do likewise. Google's bread and butter
depends upon their being at least as clever as the SEOs. The SEOs that
I have faith in are the ones that work within, and endorse, Google's
guidelines.
