Dear web site owner,<\/p>\n
My distrust of your web site and product increases ten-fold when you add dozens or hundreds of search words or phrases to your web pages in order to potentially lure unsuspecting Internet searchers.<\/p>\n

In the example above, Word reports that there are<\/p>\n

487 extra words on your page (none of which are standard copyright text) and 3,472 characters total. <\/p>\n
If you have a good web site or product, they will come. I promise. Get rid of the slimy techniques to draw traffic. You may have drawn me there, but I almost always move on as soon as I see that type of nonsense. You must have something to hide, or your product is inferior. You\u2019ve just lost a repeat visitor and\/or customer. <\/p>\n
