Keyword stuffing beyond a joke

Postby goz_83 » Mon Aug 27, 2012 10:39 am

We've all seen the ads on donedeal with a ford fiesta (for example) for sale and at the bottom of the ad, the seller stuffs every make and model of car he can think of into the ad. Well I regularly search FTO on done deal and the following ad popped up, which made me laugh. I wanted to call the owner about his unusual looking FTO.

I mailed Donedeal about that carry on just the other day and got this response:

DoneDeal wrote:Hi Bernard,

Thanks for contacting us.
We are have recently updated our system to stop any new ads been published with multiple search words.

In the meantime, all ads with multiple search words/brand names are having the text removed from their ad as many of our customers have contacted us about ads appearing in wrong categories, which is caused by the multiple search words.
However if you would like to report any ads you see with multiple search words please select the report ad option which is located to the right hand side of the ad in the blue box.


It looks like they were right because the ad you posted looks clean to me.

Indeed. It wasn't when I posted about it. It looked a boxy to pass for an fto. I hope they keep on top of this, but there are ways around what they are doing.

On the other hand, there is still plenty needing to be done. Any search will show up a load of unrelated stuff. Again, I typed fto a few moments ago and a bmw alloy shows up. A Merc engine too and loads of other random pieces of garbage. Look at all the keywords there!
