But it's not "key word spamming," since the product is, after all,
"LEGO-compatible," and that's one of its intended selling points. Why would
it be any different to describe a LEGO lot as "Red Bricks," since both "red"
and "brick" could be keywords, in other contexts?
I thought keyword spamming was more like:
PENCILS FOR SALE BRITNEY SPEARS EMINEM SPIDER-MAN TONY HAWK AMIDALA
in which the actual item has little or nothing to do with the description's
buzzwords.
If ebay browsers don't want to bring up MegaBlok products in their LEGO
searches, let them refine their search parameters more carefully. I, for
one, can't stand to have Bionicle belched forth when I do a search for LEGO,
so I work around it...
Dave!
