Re: crap site

Bruce,

>From a professional standpoint, as you are the manager of a company that
advertises the ability to hack the Google rankings in order to gain page #1
results on Google, I would like to direct you to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_element and
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html.
Both pages directly state that Google does not use the META tag, so your
ideas regarding SEO are flawed.

Further, as stated below, the W3 does not standardize the use of META tags.
Please perform further research before blasting a site for your inability to
locate something that doesn't exist.

I wish you future success in your business,
- Joseph Becher
