We caution a lot on our Search Engine Optimisation pages about avoiding overly aggressive measures that Search Engine Spiders may consider adveresely.

But there is an important counter argument to consider.

Winner takes all

Or perhaps more accurately in the case of Search Engine Results. Top ten places takes all! Beyond the first and at a stretch the second page of Search Results you might just as well not have bothered.

You can find hundreds of pages on the net taking the top Search Engines spots with techniques that even if not outright spam, are extremely aggressive in their approach to SEO. Why do the Search Engines allow this? primarily because they are a largely automated process dealing with billions of web pages.

If they got very strict on what they consider to be spam, they would have literally millions of web pages that they would have to examine manually and also they would have tens of thousands of complains from those who think that they have been unfairly penalised.
