A dealer discovered that a website vendor had deployed black hat SEO tactics on their client's site, including over 1,000 pages of automatically cloned content designed to manipulate search rankings. The thread confirms that unethical SEO practices remain common in the automotive industry, with vendors potentially putting dealership websites at risk of Google penalties. The exchange serves as a cautionary tale about vetting website service providers carefully.
