questions about optimization techniques.

[needhelp]

First, my question: Are the following items spam/unethical? - cuz I think they are...

Second, my editorial: I'm so sick of all forms of spam and even sicker that google doesn't ban the spammers (even after reports are sent). I can't imagine that a searcher actually wants to see stuff like this in their search results:

1. meta title is: keyword phrase keyword phrase keyword phrase...

2. keywords listed in small font, same color as background on top of indexed page

3. pages that don't hold in cache - did the spider cache a doorway? The cache redirects to the live site!

4. this has been addressed already in forum, but one more time for good measure...multiple domains that lead to the same company. (especially when the destination site is always the same, just totally different URLs to trick the user into believing they will find different companies)

Thanks for the forum space and your ear!

Meta Title - Needhelp meant the title tag....If some one replicates the same keyword thoughout the title tag they are probably stupid. It assumes everyone searches for the same thing....which they dont. So a title tag with several pertinent keywords will work better than one replicated with the same keywords.

Meta Keywords....waste of time for Google and most SE's.

A doorway that redirects to a root domain site is often a problem for Google. Can't beat 'em....join 'em. (for now anyway)

Multiple domains...similar, but not duplicate content...okay. If you are from the US then you will know Walmart and Sams sell mnay overlapping products....want to close them down because they are owned by the same folks?
