The webmaster creates on free platforms a few blogs (sometimes hundreds) and organizes them automatically filling a variety of information which is relevant and, ideally, will cause the influx of users to the page. The content for such blogs often useless, but its generation involves automated systems that do not possess intelligence. The source of the original content may be, for example, RSS news, of which there are a sufficient number.

Features 

Like the blog sooner or later will be banned by search engines, so seriously invested in it, no. While the blog is in the results (average 2-12 months) — a blog is unlikely to have a high ranking, traffic or attendance. The main advantage of this technology not in quality, but in quantity.

The main goal of the optimizer is: earn as much money as possible on the links. Therefore, the content of the page after applying the swapping can be a completely useless for the user text. Example of the application of the swap. The optimizer spins and then pushes the top of the search engine of any website or an individual page with an interesting topic for visitors. Without changing the title of the site, the optimizer removes it completely or partially old content and fills revenue-generating links (the higher the site is located in the top of the search engine, the big money gets the master at posting links).
