>So, i wonder if there's a point where search engines realise that technical spam will have to become entertained, to some degree, in order to have a successful and comprehensive search engine..??<

From where I sit ... there is an awful lot of "technical spam" (if there is such a thing) already being employed and it seems to be highly successful and remains undetected or punished by many SE's.

It seems the big corporations want it all ... including remodeling the web to suit their every (inflexible) whim and wish. There are PPC's and there are pay to list SE's with featured listings, and then there is Google and the Ad Words feature. Each SE is designed on a different set of algos in order to deliver what their particular business model is geared towards. If the BIG corporations won't let you do your job ... then use whatever tactics are necessary.

Go for the PPC's and featured listings and paid listings and Ad Words ... and a good print advertising campaign to back it all up. If that doesn't work, I tend to agree with bigjohnt ...
