You serious? Not that I want to try.

I thought that stunt was well out the window although I did wonder how sites like his can still remain in the index.

Nah - he was plain greedy, so it's likely that Google sees it for waht it is. Jibberish.

But certainly you can still get away with some hidden text and beat the algo. Manual review wouldn't be so easy to get past, but smaller sites are unlikely to get that sort of attention.

With every passing day it becomes less likely to work thank god...

Ouch indeed - anyone find a SINGLE good aspect of that site?!

EDIT - Love the little sales pitch under his digital photography service

Would you like photographs of your business premises or the product you sell but do not have the time or patience to take them?
Why not arrange for a consultation at your premises. An experienced representative can advise you on the best photos to promote your business and can even take the photos for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask if we can accommodate your area - we currently cover Leinster but are happy to try to accommodate our further away clients.

Double Ouch!
