EDIT: After reading other posts in this thread, I can certainly say that I have always shared your anger towards SEO. Web is an open resource for everyone to communicate and share knowledge on. I hate when some people just come in and start abusing it for their own gain at the cost of others. Down here someone is discussing about linkwheels and link pyramids. While spamming away this shit, they don't realize that they are making this open space dirty. While they make profits from their clients and their clients make some short term profit, someone else has to do the cleanup part and waste time behind this. Its like running around in a library and filling in the shelves with junk content and advertisement. It overshadows and make it difficult to find the real content.
