Why iPhone Will Succeed: My Argument In Letter Form

MFA stands for Made For AdSense. It refers to a blog whose
content is farmed out to non-professional writers (or scripts). The goal of
these sites is not the creation of quality content, but rather the
collection of revenue from AdSense or other advertising schemes.

One attribute of these sites is often the creation and or organization of
the content according to heavy Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques.
Some of these include separating the content that the GoogleBot sees from
what humans see on a particular site, loading sites with keywords, etc.

This is a difficult definition, however, because many legitimate companies
are moving to “content networks” where they recruit people to make their
content for them. They too, of course, employ online advertising and also
try and enhance their SEO qualities. The question becomes one of integrity
and judgement.

In short, how much emphasis is placed on creating quality content vs. just
getting a higher Google PageRank or more AdSense traffic? If the stress is
on the quality of the content and being a serious resource then I’d say the
site is a legitimate content network.

If however the site is all about doing whatever it can to get more hits (and
hence more money) — and the content is only a means to that end — then the
site is an MFA site. That’s my definition.:
