Can spam be linked like sausage?
Author: Stuart R. Crawford
Have you heard of Jeremy Epstein? I don’t believe he is related to Juan Luis Pedro Philippo DeHuevos Epstein at all? Actually this Epstein is a fictitious character. Besides being a handsome man, Jeremy Epstein is a pretty savvy Marketer from the DC area.
Jeremy shared a very interesting story of link spam showing up in his blog the other day and where it came from and who was doing it. A while back, I was getting a tonne of link spam as well when I installed the IntenseDebate Wordpress plugin. Stay clear of this plugin all of you WordPress bloggers, total trash and full of spammers who surely increase your comment count but not in a good way.
Jeremy shared a story about four firms who are paying some SEO firm in North Carolina to do SEO work for them. According to Jeremy’s blog post this SEO firm employs blog commenting and linking tactics aimed to get a higher number of inbound links to their client’s websites. First off, what about the NOFOLLOW tag Google put in place a while back designed to combat this type of behaviour? A good SEO firm would understand this loophole has been closed quite sometime ago and link comments don’t work anymore.
Jeremy shared the names of these four firms on his blog post. But I will say this. There are some SEO firms out there who wound rather take their clients money and run. I wonder if these four business are even aware that the behaviours of their SEO firm just got them blogged about by my Washington, DC friend.
