I don’t know whether anyone’s described this phenomenon before, but I’m choosing to call it ‘Meta-SEO’.
I came across this forum post about yet another way to make $100 a day by doing multiple article submissions on low competition keywords.
It’s a pointless waste of time, and you’ll see why if you read the thread. What amused me though was the effect of the publication of the original forum post on the search engine results for the example keyword.
Put simply, the example low-competition keyword was “Samsung LNT4661F 46 inch HDTV” - but because it’s low-competition, all the search results for that query end up pointing to half a dozen copies of the very article that mentions it.
So now anyone searching for that product will end up reading an article about how to make money from people searching for that product.
Hence, meta-SEO.
