Does your website have fake boobs?

Welcome to Does your website have fake boobs? (breasts/tits/bussoms) by Dean Hunt.

I often get asked to share my philosophy on SEO with readers of Retiredat21.com, and I have finally caved in to the pressure.

So here goes…. are you ready?…………. My philosophy on SEO is to treat your SEO work like breast implants.

I will explain.

If you are a girl who is looking to get breast implants, then the key is get them big enough to be noticed, but not too big so that they don’t look natural.

So whenever you are working on SEO (link building, keywords, meta info etc), you want Google to think you are a big site, but if Google thinks you are un-natural then it will go and find another website to share its Google love with.

You have probably heard warnings about putting a keyword in your page too many times (keyword stuffing), but there are other ways that Google may think you have fake boobs:

Meta spamming – If you try and squeeze your keywords into the title, description and meta keywords too often then Google will think “Fake”.

Linking – If a high % of your links are from directories then you may have fake boobs. Also, if all the links are pointing to your homepage = fake boobs. If 95% of your links are from link trades then Google will think you are a faker,
and finally, don’t use the same link text for every incoming link, or Google will think……. FAKE BOOBS.

Content – With content there are two main ways of appearing un-natural: a) To use a lot of duplicate content b) To have a very high keyword density. Avoid these two if you want to seduce Google.

So to summarise: Appearing natural is the key to SEO. Standing out from the crowd is a great way to get Google to pay attention to you, but if Google thinks your boobs are fake, then at best it will ignore you, at worst it will penalise you.
