"Is the effort to cover up the links in Google's engine leaving detectable tracks? And if so, can the process to discover them be automated? It seems to me this would be very useful for our effort to more effectively compete."

"We first discovered this technique when important links became invalid once word started getting out that they existed. But sometimes using Google's search engine, cached copies had the target content."
