CNN has been accused of trying to boost its search engine ratings through a guerilla marketing campaign utilising comment spam posts to blogs.

Nick Lewis claims that he has found evidence on 13 blogs of CNN trying to destroy negative publicity through a technique called “keyword stuffing” which is designed to get search engines to rank pages as more relevant.
