Where does Lorem Ipsum come from?

It's derived from Cicero's 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' (45 BC), scrambled so it looks like readable Latin but makes no grammatical sense. Richard McClintock traced its origins in the 1980s.

Is Lorem Ipsum bad for SEO?

If it appears on published pages, yes — search engines may flag it as thin content. Lorem ipsum is for design and development use only; replace it with real content before launching.
