This is a pretty old article dated 7th Mar 2005. It produced heavy resonance in SEO world those days. You will not find anything wrong with the Google page mentioned in that article now. But I saw with my own eyes the proof of what Google was charged of. I've tried to find <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://adwords.google.co.uk/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9653&topic=65" rel="nofollow">example of the archived page</a> on Internet Archive WayBack Machine but it was surprisingly blocked by Google for archiving. So for me it is evident Google uses (or has been used) double standards for SEO guidelines. One more bad example of SEO: Google Caught Cloaking. This is a pretty old article dated 7th Mar 2005.

The linkfarm is still there, you just have to have JavaScript disabled in your web browser to see it, otherwise you’re just redirected.

I, on the other hand, couldn’t find that meta tag you mention; it has probably been fixed then.

I have some funny search terms find me too and some are repeated so I wish they'd just add me to favorites or something. No, the biggest trick is getting people to your site and then hoping that they will link to you. Networking is a great help for personal blogs.
