I have relatively little hope that it takes longer than a few days/weeks until a wave of seo-deoptimization services hit the SEO market. The incentives for beating "the system" are just too high.


I would guess Google already keeps a record of a website's history and could easily detect if it suddenly became "seo-deoptimized"

EDIT: But I completely agree. There are far too many SEO's out there for this to beat everything


That's the whole point! To make Google-friendly sites more similar to human-friendly sites. (There's even an xkcd comic about this already.)


That's my thoughts too. It's a game nobody can win.
