Cannot say it has brought much traffic in the past!
Even searchhippo, gigablast, ixquick, excite, go, mamma, dogpile and wisenut drive some traffic.
Has anybody seen click #1 from Aesop?
Has anybody seen click #1 from Aesop?
Never! Probably because I've not inserted the aesop meta tag on my sites. ;)
And, the guy has been spamming like crazy these past few weeks!
Sheesh, now it comes back to me. I was checking out a competitor a couple of weeks ago and saw the meta tags there.
Never seen them before, so I looked it up.
Too unmotivated to bother adding them. ..
And to the best of my knowledge have not seen any traffic from them across a number of sites.
Anyone with a view as to whether the tags are worth the agro of adding?
As a competitive person, and sometime search engine designer myself, I would include in any algorithm I designed a modifier for people that linked to other engines, included their meta tags, etc - and that modifier would downgrade their rankings in MY engine.
Yes, I'm not Google or any other major one. But - given the kind of things we *know* search engines are capable of and can do - why would you expose your sites or your clients to the kind of risk that 'custom meta tags' would entail?
And better yet, the benefit is very questionable, as most (if not all of us) have yet to see click #1.
What I naive guy I am, never thought of that ...man's inhumanity to man!
I'll take your advice and not bother investigating their meta tags further.
As the thread says traffic is zero and spam is high.
