Skeptico: Favored by psychic detectives

I find it interesting that if you examine the source code across several major psychic detective web sites you find within the key words the word Skeptico. It is the only source coded media or web site among key words shown. Now why one may ask do these major "psychic detectives" want to steer source engine inquiries about Skeptico to their web sites?

If one examines Skeptico's promotional and unbalanced bias toward these same psychic detectives one quickly uncovers the reason. Skeptico --- now more than ever --- the promotional marketing tool behind leading psychic detectives.

Do you mean Skeptiko? with a K? Skeptico is a skeptic blog, AFAIK.

And while Alex has done several psychic detective shows, its hardly a major focus of the podcast, and rarely comes up in the forum. So not sure what to make of this.
