SEOs Abuse Linkedin
Funny.. My mother sent me an article in a Canadian magazine called “Profit” about how to Optimize your websites for SEO purposes – this was the second article the magazine published, and was called Google Grabbers 2. It’s a fairly recent article, and she gave me the article about a week ago. In the last 2-3 days, I’ve started receiving comment spam on my blogs with LinkedIn URLs.
I thought this was strange, as I’ve never received comments with linkedin URLs before, but I recalled the article that my mother gave me about how to use your LinkedIn profile to spread linklove for your sites. I know I don’t usually discuss SEO stuff on this blog, mostly because it isn’t really an interest of mine to manipulate search results. I simply use clear, concises language and try and keep my titles and content text as clear as possible. I feel it works well enough for me, so I never bothered implementing anything I read in the article. Not to mention that after an article like that comes out everyone an their dog will be trying out those strategies…
I have my linked in profile done up accordingly in order to display my business and sites, but I do not have shill accounts meant to promote SEO only. Its a shame that everything on the internet has to be abused so that someone can try and make some money. Hopefully Linkedin fixes this.. their network is going to be covered with spam if not.
