        Well, I spent an hour or two reading through it yesterday and commenting on my twitter feed. have alook at @firstconversion for the juicy bits (tip: there were not many)

        125 pages of the dryest, most boring text you have ever seen, it certainly looks real.

        It does look like the kind of text that would be used to train their testers ie the manual for a 5 day class, rather than a "go home and read this" text

        Everything in there matches what we have heard. To be honest, I didnt see much in the whole 125 bloody pages that wasn't widely known anyway

        More of a revelation was the names of the two companies that are providing these human testers. An enterprising SEO might try sign up...

        • When you add 10.000 pages that have no real intention to rank in the SERP, should you: "follow,noindex" or disallow the whole directory through robots? What is your opinion?
