Is BritishaAirways.com spamming Google?

It seems that BA has acquired some strange SEO habits. Such one is that they hide the text displayed within Flash files on the site.
One could argue that the text is contained in the visual file and therefore this is not classed as SPAM.

However, when the user lands on the page, they are not presented with the text, which only starts displaying in the Flash movie if the user decides to play it. Certainly a major dilemma here. Is this SPAM?

Battling with AdWords - the world of Google

It is indeed a very time-consuming process to open up a master account in Google. What is more frustrating is the need to create additional Google accounts and then some more.
I ran out of emails doing that. Should it not be a little easier for agencies to create something like that, even if they are not running on massive budgets.

The (late) email reply I got from Google was firstly explaining a massive demand and delays in getting back to you. Surely if the product (and AdWords is a world class product, not so a service) is so popular and therefore increases revenue why not put a little more money into the interface and the staff around it?
You might want to keep things scalable in an internet business. Google is just that, no longer.

Customer services please!

I am continuously logged in to my Google account. If I disapprove of one site in a specific query and that site refreshes it’s content and provides something useful a few months later…will I then lose it forever? Read more
