Sites like the two linked at the top of this thread are mostly not written by humans at all - they're made by name-scraping geotagged data and adding randomized tourguide text, and perhaps some content "borrowed" from other sites. Pick a mountain you know well and it won't take you long to find something in the description that is just plain wrong, often dangerously so.

Also of interest, the legal disclaimers at the bottom of the two sites are EXACTLY identical, among other similarities.

The idea is to have enough English-seeming text to get a decent search engine rank, and therefore enough Internet traffic to drive ad revenue / serve up malware .

Bubba, please make those links non-clickable; you're only helping them.
