Daily Wave, April 4th

Rant
There is an abundance of useful information online, but the fascination with Search Engine Optimization may be viewed as a short cut to creating traffic for your website. For example, you may search for Human Resource blog posts and come across this incoherent exploitation of the SEO system. http://articlesmax.com/why-you-need-human-resource-training.html. That article is not meant to inform, it's meant to show up on the top of the search results because they used Human Resources and related terms around 20 times in 500 word article (if you can call that an article). This is the evolution of those annoying pop-ups that have been really popular a few years back. This is actually related to the post I made about outsourcing and ODesk.The jobs posted on that site mentioned the requirement to write 1 article per day for 1 dollar per article (obviously outsourced to the developing economy country). To avoid this we should learn the Boolean search language (http://www.internettutorials.net/boolean.asp) and use that to really narrow down what you want.
