First,, this mailing list ain't the poincast network,, so you have
nothing to do here advertising,, we didn't call you so please don't come
with spamming here!

Second,,, What you advertised is not even a good thing,, those of us
that works in the Search Engines Industry knows that doing this kind of
things to improved the relevance of your site on the popular search
engine is what have led Altavista and Other Robot-Based search engines
to become almost useless,,, those so called secrets of repeting a word
as a comment on the HTML code of yours sites so the robot "thinks is
more important" and so on,, is one of those things that damages the
Internet itself and the reliability that it has right now. 

So be careful people,, this is one of the reasons of "Why Altavista will
never beat Yahoo in popularity" because in Yahoo ,, real persons are who
reviews the Sites,, and then they send the Spider to Index it. And,
although Alvatista and Other Search Engines that uses robots are very
popular,, This Kinds of Secrets is what wont let them be a leader in the
Search Engines ever.
