In a television program on the Norwegian channel NRK 28.March 2007 focus was set on SEO spamming methods and Bolia.com was one of the examples. The program can be seen on webTV. Two of my collegues in the SEO field: Roar Eriksen and Sverre Sjøthun was the “professionals” in the program. So was Google’s Norwegian boss Jan Grønbech. Two weeks later Google’s penalty was a fact. Bolia.com was no longer visible on the first two SERPs. In fact, Bolia.com was massively degraded for all their keywords and phrases and is still invisible amongst the top 100 listings. Relevant Search Engine Guidelines Relevant Google Quality Guidelines - Specific recommendations: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769 • Make pages for users, not for search engines. • Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings • Avoid hidden text or hidden links. • Avoid “doorway” pages created just for search engines • Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content. If a site doesn’t meet our quality guidelines, it may be blocked from the index. Matt Cutts, head of Google’s webspam team says on his blog: “If you work at a large company that has doorway pages, keyword stuffing, or other tricks against our webmaster quality guidelines in a non-English language, consider this a courtesy notice that Google will pay a lot more attention to spam in other languages in 2006.” Relevant techniques discouraged by MSN Search: http://search.msn.com/docs/siteowner.aspx?t=SEARCH_WEBMASTER_REF_Guidelinesfor OptimizingSite.htm&FORM=WGDD • Using hidden text or links. You should use only text and links that are visible to users. Relevant techniques discouraged by Yahoo! http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/deletions/deletions-05.html • Pages that harm accuracy, diversity or relevance of search results • Pages dedicated to directing the user to another page • Pages that have substantially the same content as other pages • Pages in great quantity, automatically generated or of little value • The use of text that is hidden from the user • Pages that give the search engine different content than what the end-user sees • Excessively cross-linking sites to inflate a site's apparent popularity • Pages built primarily for the search engines • Pages that seem deceptive, fraudulent or provide a poor user experience Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 4/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prioritet.no uses the same technique for their SEOcustomers The Bolia.com case On the Bolia.com frontpage there was “invisible” links to doorway pages from a light grey vertical text in bottom right corner. Links from this “invisible” menu in the bottom right corner pointed to doorway pages. Each of these doorway pages was a top level page of a doorway substructure for each of the three languages. The top level doorway pages had links to a large amount of keyword and phrase optimized pages for each language. The Prioritet.no “invisible” info symbol (look for my “arrow” symbol on the examples) Colosseumklinikken.com Restplass.no is the link to the Doorway Pages and is relatively visible on the bottom The info symbol line of the Colosseumklinikken.com homepage but deliberatly placed on a invisible spot on Restplass.no. If you look closely you will find it in the upper right corner and outside the area a user normally will look for information. This symbol is made “visible” so that the invisible guidelines from the search engines could be argued not to be valid for these sites. The information behind the info symbol is made for the search engines only. This goes for all Prioritet.no customers. Most of them can be found by a search on “inurl:info stikkord+sidekart” at Google.com. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 5/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The underlying structure behind the Prioritet info symbol “ ”: Redcross.no The info symbol hides a menu to “Sidekart” (the pagemap) and to “stikkord” (keywords) which is a collection of Doorway pages. Just place the mouse on “ ” and the mouse-over effect will show you the underlying structure. Or disable CSS in your browser. The -symbol and it’s underlying structure is actually placed on the url: http://www.redcross.no/menu.asp and NOT on the homepage: http://www.redcross.no/ although it looks like it is placed on the homepage. The technique Prioritet.no has used is to place the info symbol on the homepage through a iFrame: <tr><td><iframe src="menu.asp" width="180" height="300" border="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"> </iframe></td></tr> This is pretty smart since most search engines do not even look at the content of an iFrame since these are frequently used to deliver external content. The use of iFrame prevents the spiders to follow the links in and understand the goal of the structure. The only visible element is the symbol itself: “Stikkord” and “Sidekart” is only visible by “mouse-over”. Unless you disable styles as I have done here: • Stikkord o Annet o Prioritet A-F Aids arbeid Bekjempe aids Bekjempe hiv Bistandsarbeid Bli fadder Bistandsarbeid i krig Bekjempe fattigdom Barn i nød Donasjon Donere penger Ensom Ettervern Fattigdomsbekjempelse Fadderbarn Frivillig organisasjon Flyktningsarbeid Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 6/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------• • G-Å o Hjelpe organisasjoner o Hjelpe arbeid o Hiv arbeid o Hjelpearbeid o Humanitære organisasjoner o Internasjonalt humanitært arbeid o Internasjonal humanitær organisasjon o Krisetelefon o Krise telefon o Krigssone o Krigsfanger o Menneskeverd o Omsorg o Ungdom i krise o Ungdomsarbeid • Sidekart The first link on the list is a link back to Prioritet.no, the SEO optimizing firm. The last link is a link to the official pagemap. The pagemap does NOT contain the the Doorway pages A – F and G – Å which is located on subpages as you can see on these two examples. All links on these SE optimized doorway pages goes back to the official website: http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=bekjempe_aids http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=hjelpearbeid http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=aids_arbeid http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=bekjempe_hiv http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=bistandsarbeid http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=bli_fadder http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=bistandsarbeid_i_krig http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=bekjempe_fattigdom http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=barn_i_noed http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=donasjon http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=donere_penger http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=ensom http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=ettervern http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=fattigdomsbekjempelse http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=fadderbarn http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=frivillig_organisasjon http://www.redcross.no/www_redcross_no.asp?t=flyktningsarbeid Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 7/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kjendis.no The info symbol on Kjendis.no is the text link: “kjendis.no” in the bottom left corner. The text gives the visitor the the idea that this is a backlink to the homepage of kjendis.no which it is not. In fact it is a link to the “Arkiv” (the News Archive) and to “Stikkord”. “Stikkord” contain links to SERPS in the kjendis.no News Archive. The SERPS is based on the keywords which in kjendis.no is Celebrity names. In this way the SERP on a spesific keyword will contain all news articles that mention the celebrity by name. Just place the mouse on “kjendis.no” and the mouse over effect will show you the underlying structure. Or disable CSS in your browser. The CSS for the info symbol is placed on: http://www.digitalsynlighet.no/opt/www.kjendis.no/prime nu.css div.primenu{ font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sansserif; left: 0px; position: absolute; visibility: hidden; z-index: 1000; text-align:left; line-height:15px;} The menu is positioned like this: <div style="position:absolute; top:-237px;"><div id="m2" class= "primenu"><a class= "primenuItem" id="main3">Kjendiser A - C</a> Bruce Clay commented this in the following way: ”<div style="position:absolute; top:-186px;"> is a specific violation of Google spam rules, it is harmful to the client if detected, and thus is a violation of my SEO Code of Ethics (does harm to the client). Google does not allow pages that position like this, and has not for several years. There does not seem to be any activation trigger as well. To answer your question, no it does not comply. Compliance is optional, but they are placing the client in harms way.” The “Stikkord” Madonna will give the SERP shown in the illustration. The SERP is dynamic and the result will therefore always be updated with the latest celebrity news. See also NY.no on page 14 Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 8/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mesta.no On Mesta.no you will find the info symbol at the bottom line. Just place the mouse on “ ” and the mouse-over effect will show you the underlying structure. Or disable CSS in your browser. The Doorway pages for each “Stikkord” (keyword) is optimized based on the same template with a short paragraph and all the standard elements: <title>Brøyting – Mesta utfører vintervedlikehold </title> <meta name="keywords" content="brøyting, fjellsikring, elektro, anlegg, veibygging, strøing"> <h1><a href="http://www.mesta.no/article.php?id=892">Brøyting – vi tar vinterdriften</a></h1> <b>brøyting</b> <a href="http://www.mesta.no/article.php?id=892">Les mer om vårt arbeid med brøyting her</a> Two examples of Mesta.no Doorway pages: http://www.mesta.no/web/?o=fjellsikring http://www.mesta.no/web/?o=broeyting Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 9/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steria.no On Steria.no you will find the info symbol way down on the left side. Just place the mouse on “ ” and the mouse-over effect will show you the underlying structure. Or disable CSS in your browser. Two examples of Steria.no Doorway pages: http://www.steria.no/it/?it=bankkort http://www.steria.no/it/?it=fingeravtrykk The Doorway pages for each “Stikkord” (keyword) is optimized based on the same template with a short paragraph and all the standard elements just like Mesta.no Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 10/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Restplass.no The info symbol is hidden in the upper right corner. The symbol covers a menu with a tricky placement. At mouse-over you see first level of the menu and a glimpse of the second level. If you try to scroll or move the cursor to the second level the hole page moves to the right and makes it impossible to see the second level in full expanded version. You have to look at the source code and the CSS to understand the menu and the links to the doorway pages. The second level is positioned by “Left: -100px”with makeMenu2, shown in the code view screenshot above. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 11/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------All doorway pages are optimized in the same way and looks similar to this one: http://www.restplass.n o/www_restplass_no.p hp?t=restplasser_til_sa n_francisco Eurosko.no On Eurosko.no the info symbol is replaced with ”moving bubbles” in the flash video on the homepage of Eurosko.no. Colosseumklinikken.com The info symbol is the link to the Doorway Pages and is relatively visible on the bottom line of the Colosseumklinikken.com homepage. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 12/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mozon.no On Mozon.no the info symbol is placed a few lines under what is normally the last “about” lines on every website. Interdekk.no On Interdekk.no you find the info symbol in the grey area on the left side. Above the info symbol there is also a visible link to http://interdekk.adnow.dk/interdekk/ which is the root of a structure of optimized Doorway Pages. Designbelysning.no On Designbelysning.no you find the info symbol near the bottom on the right side. Minelinser.no On Minelinser.no you find the info symbol at the right side of the blue footer. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 13/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plastikkirurgi.no On Plastikkirurgi.no you find the info symbol far down at the left side. NA.no (Næringsakademiet) On NA.no you find the info symbol sentered way down at the bottom of the page. Updated June 30. 2007: The info symbol is removed. Lekogsikkerhet.no On Lekogsikkerhet.no you find the info symbol way down on the left side. Updated June 23. 2007 Lekogsikkerhet have apparently removed the info symbol and the Doorway Pages. Floriss.no On Floriss.no you find the info symbol way down on the left side. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 14/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hairprogram.com and hairprogram.no(Apollo) On hairprogram.com and hairprogram.no you even find a link to the Seofirm Prioritet.no in the yellow footer just above the info symbol. NY.no NY.no is owned by Dagbladet and has the same position of the info as Kjendis.no (Page 7). The symbol is the text link: “NY.no” in the bottom left corner. The text gives the visitor the the idea that this is only a backlink to the homepage of kjendis.no which it is not. In fact it is also a link to a menu “Stikkord” (Keywords) with three sub menus. These menus are hard to spot since “Stikkord” is hard to spot even with mouse-over. Disable the styles and you will see the complete structure of doorway pages. All doorway pages are placed on URLs like this: http://www.ny.no/?digisyn=ledig_jobb In this case “ledig_jobb” is the keyword. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 15/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prior.no On Prior.no the info symbol is a pointing hand far down on the page and pointing to the copyright information. There is no way you may get the idea that the hand covers the menu for the doorway pages: In this case the doorway pages also contains the same pointing hand which in this case covers the top level menu for the doorway pages: Skagenbryggehotell.no On Skagenbryggehotell.no you will find the Doorway pages hidden behind the almost invisible symbol centered at the bottom of the page. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 16/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In this case all the Doorway pages are designed as similar optimized pages with the same info symbol placed on the bottom of the page. In this way it is used for building a backward link structure to both the site map AND all the Doorway pages: If you do a spesific search on the title of the Doorway pages you will find that they have low visibility. A spesific search on “Kurslokaler i Stavanger? Kontakt Skagen Brygge Hotell” you find this SERP on #8 ranking: Kurslokaler i Stavanger? Velg Skagen Brygge Hotell. Om du er ute etter kurslokaler i Stavanger, er Skagen Brygge Hotell det naturlige valget. ... www.skagenbryggehotell.no/info/?q=kurslokaler_stavanger - 6k - Tilleggsresultat - I hurtigbuffer - Lignende sider BUT If you do a search for most of the keyword kombinations in the info menu the SERP shows www.skagenbryggehotell.no og page 1 because of the “hidden” keywords in the info menu. Stormberg.no On Stormberg.no you find the info symbol centered at the bottom of the page. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 17/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Badebutikken.no On badebutikken.no you find the info symbol way down at the bottom of the page (you have to scroll). And it is “cleverly” placed close to the end of another but bigger sign. All the Doorway pages are built the same way. And they all contain the same symbol which again covers a backward link structure to all Doorway pages: Favoritthytten.no On Favoritthytten.no you find the info symbol in the grey area in the bottom right corner. The symbol hides links to all Doorway pages which is built the same way as all other Doorway pages from Prioritet.no: Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 18/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Toolpack.no On Toolpack.no you find the info symbol centered at the bottom of the page. Dignus.no On Dignus.no you find the info symbol down on the left side and covering links to the sitemap and the Doorway pages: Servicemat.no On Servicemat.no you find the info symbol way down a couple of lines below the last text on the page. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 19/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VVSbad.no On vvsbad.no you find the info symbol sentered way down at the bottom of the page. The color is light grey to make it theoretically visible but at the same time not to visible for the visitors. The same technique used on all the examples in this report. Fagerborgelektro.no On fagerborgelektro.no you find the info symbol “hidden” to the right on the horisontal line at the bottom of the page. And again the symbol hides links to the Doorway pages: Blomsterdekor.no On Blomsterdekor.no you find the info symbol almost hidden in the bottom right corner. And the hidden menu unfolds to the right so it is almost unreadable unless you disable styles. Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 20/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Klubben.no On Klubben.no you have to look closely to find the info symbol. It is located near the right side of the blue line at the bottom of the page. Uniquetrykk.no On Uniquetrykk.no you find the info symbol in the right corner of the bottom green footer. Grand-hotel-terminus.no On Grand-hotel-terminus.no you find the info symbol down on the left side at the end of the text. And the Doorway pages has the same info symbol with backward links to all the Doorway pages: Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 21/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Probat.no On probat.no you will not find the Doorway menu if you don’t know where to look or at least know it’s there some place. The reason is the following html-code: style="position:absolute; top:180px; left:-100px;"> The style positions the menu outside the visible page and can only be seen if you disable styles or look inside the code. If you disable styles it looks like this: Fernerjacobsen.no & Ferner.no On both Fernerjacobsen.no and ferner.no you find the info symbol slightly to the right below the bottom line. The Doorway pages has the same info symbol slightly to the left with backward links to all the Doorway pages: Copyright http://www.seoforum.no side: 22/37 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inter-koba.no On inter-koba.no you find the info symbol in the bottom left position.

Norskfjordcruise.no On Norskfjordcruise.no you find the info symbol centered right above the blue top menu heading in the left column.
