    That's awesome. If there's one piece of info that you might want to include it would probably be a URL. What a waste.

    That's a really good observation. I have seen this many times, really a big error. I guess we all learn things with time.

    You are right. A key info is the URL. BTW, which sites do you recommend for free PRs? Thank you for the info.

      That's a spun article that reads like crap.

      Is this an epic fail or what?

    Yeah - you forgot to mention that it's a piece of crap also. The reason there's no url is because whoever did it doesn't know their ass from their elbow and created it as part of spamming campaign. They're probably embarrassed and so left it out on purpose. Would YOU want your name/url associated with it?

    Nah, it's genius.

    Think about it, what they're saying is, "we're so good at SEO, we don't need a URL — you'll just find us."

    Plus, we're all talking about it.

    Ha! at least put a URL in there.

    It's such a pain in the ass to find good spin writers out there, anyone have any good suggestions as to where to find good reliable ones?

    Sorry guys, had to post this for a laugh -- kills me every time..

    Original...

    "Use relevant tags for your content. The HP system will generate a number of tags to assist you but not all of them will be relevant. Imagine searching for "Black dogs for pets" in Google and you are brought to an article about a cat that was chased by a black dog. The author may have used the "black dog pet" tag, but the article was not about the black dog for pet. In other words, use your tags wisely and you are on your way to getting search engine friendly."

    The spun version (some people will try and sell to you...

    "Use to the point metal points by reason of your ease. The HP a whole power of determination engender a digit of metal points to befriend you no more than not aggregate of them power of choosing be appropriate. Imagine keen by reason of Shortcoming dogs because of darlings in Google and you're brought to an member end for end a cat that was run after give word toed by a color dog. The original may have used the Color dog fondling metal point, only the clause wasn't hind part before the color dog because of favorite. In other discourse, exercise your metal points wisely and you're on your advance of acquirement pursuit machine amiable."
