RedZ Fail
A friend has received a couple of calls from the search engine RedZ trying to get him to purchase advertising on their search engine. They point to the large amounts of traffic coming to his site from the search engine. Sure enough, it sends a lot of referring traffic, but my friend was smart enough to recognize in analytics that all of the traffic had a 90%+ bounce rate with an average time on site of about 1 second, leading him to believe that RedZ has an automated program to trigger site visit counts like this before they make a sales call.
Here is another complaint about RedZ: http://www.trafficflowseo.com/2009/07/seeing-redz-story-of-click-fraud-and.html

Free Linking Fail
Don’t pass up this FREE opportunity to link to this site! You better hurry while they are still offering this amazing deal! Unfortunately for them, they won’t even get a no-follow link from the SEO Fail Blog. If you want to visit their site for some strange reason, you can find their url in the image above.

Guitar Straps Win or Fail?
They are ranking number one for “Guitar Straps”, but how long will this spammy strategy last? Is this a win or fail? From my perspective this is a fail.

Website Unavailable Fail
One thing you don’t want to do is have your website show up when it’s not ready for it. Once people see that for the first time, they won’t come back to it in the future. They’ll just assume that you’re not ready to give them what they need.

Footer Links Fail
Website: www.officeruler.co.uk
Each page of your site should have no more then about 50 links on it. This is an example of some excessive linking in the footer of the site. It’s certainly not very user-friendly.

Being in the SEO industry you are frequently monitoring what people search on the most, and sometimes, well a lot of the time, you come across some really twisted search queries.

Internal Linking Fail

I love a good flashlight, which is why I came across this page. Just for the record, the stinger flashlight shown in this image is not the best flashlight out there in my opinion. Anyway, it is definitely a good thing to have a solid internal linking structure throughout your site. This is an example of way too many internal links.
