After examining this page, which seems to me like its main market would be porno
site marketers, and discussing the concepts behind it, we (myself and Jason
Dahlstrom) decided that it would be just as easy to create a script that would
allow their customer's competitors to bust the script and snag their 'optimized
HTML file' by the competitor spoofing the IP of a search engine spider when
browsing to the Food Script using website. The Food Script will only be
effective so long as search engines maintain the same IP addresses. If they set
up a system to rotate a large block of IP addresses from which their spiders are
deployted over time, they will beat this script at its own game.
It might be useful for search engine companies to set up cooperative agreements
with web servers all over the web to bounce spiders from as many IPs as
possible. A two pronged approach like this would help limit the garbage
infecting the search engines....
