Whats the point? If you want untargetted low-quality traffic you can get lots more of it just by buying it from a broker.

I agree with Cutter, the way to make money on the web is with targeted traffic. Random keywords seem like a waste of time to me.

What do you all mean by random keywords? I mean I know what the words mean, but how would you use the 'random keywords'? Do you mean something like putting 'ipod, debt, loan, sex' at the bottom of the pages on your cheese making site or something?

Edit: Ah, just noticed the rand() bit, so I assume you mean using PHP to insert random keywords? Completely random, or on topic random?

Even if they were on topic randon, I cant see how this would work - unless you have standard block of text an it is to mix them up to get lots of non duplicate pages. Even then I cant see how it will impress users

folks -- i mean:

<META
content=" rand()"
name=keywords>

this is pulled from a compiled list of pre made keywords. like:

keyword1, 2, 3, 4, 5
keyword3, 4, 3, 2, 1
keyword5, 3, 2, 1, 2

so everytime the page is reloaded it has a new/rand set of keywords...

anyone?

also, whats better, uppercase, lower case, with commas, without commas..
