That would have been the only benefit I could see from that, but these days it doesn't take much to get indexed, so I would imagine most sites buying traffic from him have been indexed.

I know I wouldn't want that if I was paying. Unless there's some other benefit I'm not aware of.

Hope all is well with you Matt.
