cartoonbarry.com — Volkswagon was recently found to be using hidden text on its web pages in an effort to increase their Google exposure. Unlike the rest of us Google 'helped' them fix the issue rather than drop them into supplementary hell! Must be nice to have friends in high places?

Why stop there? You know every major newspaper uses cloaking which is supposed to get you banned from google.

"*sniff sniff* i smell hypocrisy"I smell hypocrisy too. Not about posters spelling (yes that was dumb though) but about Google's policy on people trying to game their index.As the author points out the only reason VW were not punished like ordinary folk for attempting to cheat the system is because VW are a really big corporation and you are not. One standard of acceptable behavior for you, another completely different one for corporations.I'm just moving down my "Ten Reasons Why Google is Becoming Microsoft" checklist. Don't mind me, feel free to digg me down (you know I'm right though ... )

Functionality over beauty. A plain-looking site that users can access is better than a pretty one that they can't.

I think you mean 'poorly designed flash based sites suck'.Don't blame the technology for bad designers or developers.

WTF is "middle school" anyway? There's elementary, junior high, and then high school.
