I got a tip from someone inside of the ‘plex but expect google to come out with a ruling early next year outlawing cloned SEO’s regardless of whether they are blackhat or whitehat. Still no word on whether they approve of cloned cuttlets, chicken or human ;-)

What if the clone is created only after paying to have YahooClones review the quality of the original SEO to determine if they are any good? This way, it is not technically a paid clone, as you are paying for the review and not the clone itself.

Ok GW – You have to expand more on your Friday Teaser Post here… By “cloned” do you mean database driven sites and/or CMS systems that insert different words into the code based on variables such as: Title, Description, etc.? Or do you mean template driven sites that insert variables based on owner – such as real estate sites? I’m gonna need a little more clarification on “Cloned SEOs”. :)

BTW:And I’ve already paid a company in Switzerland to produce 10 Matt Cutts clones for me :) . But I hear Matt Cutts, Vanessa Fox and Adam Lasnik clones are on back order – sort of like those Justin Timberlake “Special Treat” T-shirts.

Google may have said “no” … but what’s the scoop on Yahoo!, Live and Ask?? hehehe

of course we all expect that it’d take the FDA years to approve cloned SEO’s …. but you know in this Web 2.0 world, miracles do happen ;)

I don’t think the Federal Google Agency (FGA) would approve. Studies show that the quality of an SEO clone rapidly declines after the second and third generations. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Here is the proof:

The third-generation SEO clone came out looking like this:

And did SEO like this:

Ah yes, they may ban cloned SEO’s but will they ban mashups of SEO dna?
