The concept of something being undetectable to search engines, like attempts to game them for better rankings, became a topic again after V7N announced a link buying service that would make such links impossible to detect.
service offered by V7N, it appears they plan to make money the old fashioned way: by Googlebombing for it.

V7N also spurred Matt down Memory Lane, all the way back to 2002, when another undetectable spam attempt caught his attention. It involved a data-recovery company using multiple doorway pages with redirects to its main page.
Matt explained that to the company when they asked why they had been penalized in Google. After that, the story takes its humorous turn. The company sent Matt's email to their search optimization pro, who replied to Matt instead of his client.
The SEO claimed to be working on a new way to make his doorway pages look real. They would be "undetectable to spiders, and humans, hence 99% bulletproof."
That nearly caused Matt to injure himself laughing. Not to mention finding the 1 percent of the SEO's scheme that was not bulletproof:
As you might be able to guess, I was easily able to find all of the fellow's "undetectable" doorway pages and all of his clients with a single Google query - I didn't even have to use any of my internal tools. I still chuckle when I hear the word "undetectable."
V7N updated his coverage to note that V7N has
