Hello,
I found one website and I am amaze to see their source code
speedweb2000.com
Can any one tell me if this is legal way to get good position in search engine?
What are they trying to do?
Will search engine index/read all the hidden information of the source code like that?

What specifically are you talking about?

I notice that there are keywords in the comments - is that it? It's 'legal' but it won't do any good in terms of ranking.

I notice that most of the text is embedded in images - is that what you're talking about? Search engines can't index image text so the creators of that page have shot themselves in the foot.

Please check out the top of the source code
Looks like this:

Yes, those are the html comments I was talking about. They have absolutely no effect on ranking. The person who put them there probably thought they would count.

But they must be doing something right because you found their website

Good. People who try games with Google should be removed

I doubt that it's because of the keyword spammed comments (I don't think the SE's would pay them any attention). Maybe they aren't in the index simply because there's very little indexable content.

That is what i am looking for. They have designed my competitor website and made in the same way (spammed comments) in the top of source code, now my competitor website went one step ahead then me. I am waiting for their removal too

Yes, this is bad thinking but i worked very hard to gain that position and they came up just by illegal way…

Think positive. They are risking things by messing around with Google - it might be good in the short term but it wouldn't take much for them to disappear completely. In the long term, blackhat methods don't work either but whitehat methods - getting natural links etc. is sustainable and will keep you doing well in the rankings for a long while

First of all, i think that it's notso clever if you are trying to frame to Big G your fake-on-site-seo, including to much keywords, because we play by their rules and they are changing them every day

Thing that i noticed is that this site is not coded...It's basicaly one large picture cut on several smaller so their on-site-seo worth big nothing

All content is not typed so there is no way that any Search Engine could read what they write..unless Google create some new tecnique with scanning pictures for content
