1998 seo

I was surfing tonight and found this site.

This guy must have thought this was SEO back in 1998 and never changed.

I laughed and had to share it with you guys and gals thinking you'd get a laugh out of it. Some of us work hard and need a good laugh now and then

Code:

[URL]http://havenworks.com/web-design/[/URL]

 

ugh. and the home page! omg it's even worse lol

Code:

http://havenworks.com/index.htm

 

He's probably #1 on HotBot and Alta Vista!

 

All I can say is "Wow" he spams those keywords like it was Christmas. lol

 

His mum obviously never taught him how rude it was to repeat himself (30 odd times).....

 

I think he itself know that it not worth to update the site

 

Seems he know a thing or two about viral marketing though ;-)

 

Haha that site is so bad.

However, the guy knows it. I scrolled down to the bottom and see:

Code:

Umm ugly or not his alexa is still 137,002. So something must be working for him. Besides plenty o fish was ugly as hell and look how great they did!

 

Yeh, I don't know how but this guy manages to get a decent amount of traffic, take a look... http://siteanalytics.compete.com/havenworks.com/?src=ff-tbplg

 

Hilarious...although it's awful on the eyes, he does have a lot of content on his front page

 

You mean Compuserve and Prodigy, right?

 

He's been aggressively ugly for 12 years, so Google has him grandfathered in.

 

As long as he is having fun in life lol.

 

glad you guys got a kick out of it like i did

 

Check out this site. It's so retro but look at the PR and Alexa. Makes me want to weep.

Trust me mate the owner is more familiar with SEO and Viral Marketing than you think. This site was a huge hit back in 2008 it went viral and a lot of news sources wrote articles on it.If i remember correctly it was also featured on places like cracked.com.

Just check:

And you will see what Im talking about.

 

well the website is also not that old, it looked like that since 2001

Its a good laugh! This site is well crammed to the hilt!

 

Countless organic backlinks to this site. Not bad if you ask me. Wise way to go about it; however, I doubt that was the intention of this site.
