OK, done it?
Isn’t the most immediately apparent thing the risk that this practice exposes the perpetrators to?
Net users have a tendency to get quite angry with people who try to find ways round doing things properly, and using deliberately “wrong” keywords is only going to piss people off. If someone is looking for pictures of BRITNEY NAKED, they aren’t going to be particularly happy with a Guardian article about shoes, so why bother?
Then you get into adwords – they attempt place adverts relevant to the content, do you really want SEX TOY adverts next to your product just because you managed to hook in a few extra visitors, 90% of whom bounced anyway when they realised this wasn’t the content they were looking for.
Journalists – don’t do it.
sorry, rant over.

Hi The whole world
My name is Skittles. I thank you all for making me feel at home and I am thrilled to death to be part of this massive and growing forum of great people. Today I have just joined. I will be delighted to supply recommendation where possible and aid others that require it. In regards to online promoting, I moreover hope to learn new things. I get pleasure from affiliate marketing and I’m glad I have been bitten by the affiliate marketing bug. I did nearly all of my marketing off line so as to market my products and I need to be taught new ideas on interrnet marketing. God Bless and Thank you for having me.

I couldn’t agree more, bad keyword targeting on a page will drive visitors away in no time and they are far less likely to visit your site in future. it may get more traffic to your site, but serves no benefit to you or your visitors.
