In 2003, Netconcepts released a report titled ''The State of Search Engine Cataloging'', which showed 99 of the then Catalog Age 100 companies had not optimized their website for search engines. The other company did not have a website. Brian Klais, vice-president of their e-business sector, and Stephan Spencer said to Multi Channel Merchant: "the vast majority of sites analyzed had sizable chunks of their site inaccessible to search engine spiders, mostly due to search-engine-unfriendly dynamic URLs and navigation based on Java, JavaScript, or Flash."〔(Seeking Search Engine Optimization ) ''Multi Channel Merchant'' January 1, 2003〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Netconcepts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
