From a business perspective of course it makes sense to give your products visibility. Authors will conform to how the search engine works no matter how awkward it is.
So yeah, the system needs to change in some way or another, giving the players instructions to behave will not work.
I don’t know guys, any junior programmer could add a very simple rule to the SE to soft reject items with repeated words and block the ones who already have them in literally less than 10 mins. Imagine naming a track “P#nd5”, I’m sure we would have the full weight of the law upon us in the blink of an eye.
If this is not happening is either because they just don’t care anymore about what happens this side of the wall, or, and excuse my paranoia, becuase a total chaos scenario on the markets might be positive to Elements. The banner refreshed 4 times a week, the $5 fever, self purchasing items allowed, the naming cheats, 1 day reviews…
Anyway, hope they’re really adressing all the SEO mess and that we see some changes anytime soon.
