		<description>Observers: Using small and hiddent text is a classic technique of search engine spamming. This is illegal and this could be why Kahsoon is being penalized by Google if he practice this technique.

&lt;strong&gt;Let me know about the page, I'll report that to Google.&lt;/strong&gt;


encik fakap:what? kahsoon is a victim of content theft? hahahaha you make me laugh!! He IS the content theft in the first place, the other blog just follow his example. Talk about setting example hahahaha 

&lt;strong&gt;Yes sir, you are darn right&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>i dont like kahsoon. He's a bum. He does not reply emails and he likes to email people with link exchanges. Then a few months later, he will delete the links on his site. He's a big Con man.</description>

		<description>encik fakap: I am aware of that possibility. But it would be better if you could support your argument with links to places the he have copied from 

Kahsoon had said so in my one the forums that I came across. I  just want to make you aware of that post. Whether I believe him or not, that's a different story all together. 

You make me laugh also LOL. Read carefullylah next time friend. Obviously you haven't read my other story about him. NVM.

Could you provide like 10 links for a  start to show us examples? It must be easy if he is a massive content thief.</description>

		<description>CypherHackz: I think I've answered that question in the post. Kahsoon also reported that he has been a victim of content theft and as a result his pages are dropped from the search engines.

http://funvideoblog.com/

From what I know, if you are the original content provider, your pages will remain in Google index and those that steal your content will suffer lower ranking. The reason is because Google can detect the original page from the date it's posted.

And this bring me to my second point...

Observers: Using small and hiddent text is a classic technique of search engine spamming. This is illegal and this could be why Kahsoon is being penalized by Google if he practice this technique.

As for your second question, copy and paste from where?

About including search keywords. I think he is using a plugin to extract those keywords from the search engine query string. I don't think it's illegal at the moment but that's not to say the search engine won't change their policy in the future.

It could be happening right now.

Kahsoon is a colourful character apparently. I googled him and found all sort of stories about him.

This is some of the stuff that I've found:

		<description>I came across kahsoon website back in 7 - 8 months ago when I tried to search for a key word.  Upon landing on his site from Google, I could not find what I was looking for.  So, did a search on that page using CTRL + F.

To my surprise, the key word was actually hidden using a small white colour font at the end of the page.  The list of the key words was tremendously long.

My questions:

- Is it against any search engine policy to do so - to list all the popular key words in the website?

- Will copy and paste website like kahsoon stay forever?  Sorry, I do not consider it as a blog at all.

- If you look at the end of each post, he has included search key words used to look for their particular article.  Again, has he breached any policy in this case?

Sad to say, in my opinion, for the time being, Paul Tan (http://www.paultan.org - automotive), Jeff Ooi (http://www.jeffooi.com - Politics) and Kenny Sia (http://www.kennysia.com - funny personal experience) are the real bloggers and each of them stay in what they do the best.  Upcoming new bloggers like Mun (http://xfile007.blogspot.com - fitness and health) are catching up.

At the end of the day, we need to find a niche topic which we blog weith passion before we go for the money.</description>
