Generally this is done with invisible or very small text for purposes of fooling the spiders. Stuffing is no longer very effective. I am proposing something quite different: content which is relevant to these other conlangs. >> My proposal: the ten most popular conlangs should be mentioned on the >> LLG > > I decline to deal with the multiple problems of this plan.

TLI Loglan, Esperanto, klingon, Interlingua there's four. Do you know another that is more widely used than any of those? (I hope so. I've never heard anybody speak Interlingua!) If so, we have five. Only five to go. > >> Hasn't anybody here read the cluetrain manifesto? >> http://www.cluetrain.org/ > > So just because you have a pseudocool name for yourself you are an > authority?
