This exclusive story is researched and written by Eric Van Buskirk.

Is MarkMonitor, Inc., a so-called global leader in online corporate identity, secretly embedding links for Time Warner? Could they be utilizing subdomains of timeinc.net to manipulate search engine rankings? The domain timeinc.net, which redirects to Time.com, suggests that they are managing this site for Time Warner.

When examining the source code of the timeinc site, error pages reveal hidden links beneath image maps, enhancing search engine rankings for other Time Warner properties?"a tactic often referred to as Black Hat SEO.

An image map instructs the browser on image rendering, yet some pages on timeinc.net hide links beside these maps. Viewing the source of subdomains like img.timeinc.net or i.timeinc.net, you'll find links to several Time Warner entities:

```html










```

Did MarkMonitor, a major player in online brand protection, buy this domain, redirect traffic, and conceal links purely out of goodwill? It seems unlikely. Notably, crucial subscription pages exist on other timeinc subdomains, indicating the domain's significant linking value.

If MarkMonitor deliberately hid these links, altruism seems an improbable motive.

The fine line between acceptable and unacceptable search engine optimization tactics is increasingly blurred. At ClickStream, we believe Fortune 500 companies, with their extensive web networks, shouldn't resort to sneaky tactics for high rankings. Individually, users faced with bans for creating interconnected sites can't exploit such practices freely. While Time Warner might naturally interlink its subsidiaries, concealing links purely for search engine visibility seems unfairly advantageous.

Consider the recent controversy with BMW losing its Google rankings. Their German site was penalized for using doorway pages to artificially boost traffic. This practice led to BMW Germany's complete removal from Google’s index within two days.

In conclusion, the ethical boundary in SEO practices remains contentious. If Time Warner is indeed engaging in such covert link strategies, it underscores the need for clarity and fairness in search engine regulations.
