Can We Declare Automated Comment & Link Posting To Be Bad?
This week, search engines and blog software vendors are
meeting again for
a second “summit” on fighting blog spam. That’s tipped me over the edge for
tossing out a related proposal to search marketers and marketers in general.
Can
We Agree Automated Comment & Link Posting Is A Bad Thing? has the full
details in our Search Engine Watch Forums.
In short, I explain that unlike some other
debates over
what’s spam or what should be acceptable in search marketing, inserting content
and links into other pages through automation just doesn’t seem a defendable
practice by anyone. Indeed, even “black hats” get annoyed by it.
So as an industry, or a community, could search marketers unite to say “No!”
on this practice? Lots more explanation and thoughts are covered in the
forum
thread, plus the ability to vote and chime in with opinions. Please stop by.
