Hiding
references to a conference (when testimony said no promotions occurring)
and using unnecessarily circuitous language (which results in low search
engine scores which puts such pages into obscurity).
In Japan,
you see a bunch of Japanese that you don't see translated in View USA. That's
because there is white text against a white background. Below is the hidden
text which, you must admit, is quite poetic:
*
The July this year of severe heat, at Tokyo international forum it
received favorable comment, " the Fujitsu solution forum 2002 "
keeping more and more, full in Osaka it is held. * It introduces the place
where the advanced match and the concrete solution of Fujitsu which is
directed to broadband * Internet age are left without.
This
reference to July 2002 may be poor poetry, but clever premeditation. The
poetry is to frustrate search engine searches (Google has 91,600 hits
for: Fujitsu conferences July 2002). That's poetry put to a really special
use!
Inside the
HTML code are the following offending lines of code:
<!-- .search {color: #333333;
background: #FFFFFF} -->
<FONT color="#FFFFFF">
<FONT color="#FFFFFF">
Line #1 is
explained as an argument to trigger the substitution of color #333333 (Fujitsu's
default text color, a near-black) in the event Java's history function shows that
the visitor has arrived via a search engine.
Line #2 is the
substituted code which redundantly repeats the white text specification. This
may be to distinguish it from a coding error.
When the .css (the
style sheet coding reference) is deleted, the white text appears normally. From
this we deduce that the style sheets are driving the subterfuge.
