That, and, if I am not mistaken, incorporating search terms of previous visitors into the page. Somebody would search for 'iPhone widgets' in Google, click on the Scribd link about totally unrelated'wooden widgets', and Scribd would put 'iPhone' on the page, making it much more likely for the next person to be misdirected.
