          "Spamdexing has come a long way from the halcyon days of the


          summer of 1995.  Back then, all one needed to do was add the
          word 'sex' a thousand times at the end of a Web page to
          attract attention from the likes of Lycos.  The search-engine
          operators caught on fast" -- {Andrew Leonard, Hotwired 1996
