This type of thinking is precisely why we can't have nice things. It's a terrible idea that only contributes to polluting the internet. It's nothing to be proud of but rather something to be ashamed of. I really hope Google removes all of his sites from the search.

@nixCraft - this is terrible, but unsurprising. Note the outcome for him, not increased sales, or better brand recognition. No he is only proud of the traffic that he has diverted to his site.

All that traffic just so that they can serve more ads - and the more people that do this, the less effective the ads are, and the harder it will be to sell advertising.

On the other hand, the Internet at large becomes enhittified, but only for as long as these ass-hats can afford to serve pages at scale.

The cost to manage that traffic isn't high and gets lower over time.

@FlorianTischner @nixCraft - agreed. We can only hope that the law of large numbers eventually catches up with them.
