    Perfect Navigation for when JS is “not available”. I don’t see no Spam there…

    Interesting find, lol. It’s amazing what comes up sometimes when you disable JS.

    I can see a lot of noscript links on opodo.com but the UK site seems to have a quite good no script.

    Nice Job!
    (you can still see it in the google cache though… :-)

    [...] Opodo spammte An dieser Stelle darf ich schon in der Vergangenheitsform sprechen. David Naylor hat gestern in seinem Blog auf Spam von Opodo.com hingewiesen. Es handelte sich dabei um Links in einem noscript-Bereich. Diese haben auf Sitemaps von Opodo.de und Opodo.fr verwiesen. Opodo hat es wohl mit der Angst bekommen und die Links auf diverse Sitemaps entfernt. Derzeit ist das Wunderwerk der Suchmaschinenoptimierung aber noch im Google Cache zu bewundern. [...]

    Hey David, next time, could you screendump for us all? It makes it a lot easier to see what you see and doesn’t require us to go turn of js and check the site :)

    Thx, and best regards

    Well yeah some sites can be dodgy. By the way, you should be using http://www.FerrisFlights.com to book your flights because it searches major websites all at the same time.

    Also its one of the only sites to allow you to search with flexible dates.
