Over optimization?
My last entry on SEO has got me thinking and I’ve done a little more reading. In my research I came across an article on over optimization. The idea is that a website could be 'punished' by search engines for being too perfect. That’s right; a site gets punished for being too perfect. For example, if a site contains too many keywords in comparison to the total number of words in the site, search engines assume the site was designed for search engines and not people, and is therefore, not as ‘good’ as another site. It may sound crazy, but it is a valid guess at what search engines do. Take a look at the article.
