Idiots who run social websites
I’m not sure how to put this, since I’m somewhat baffled about the cases.
As a fairly aggressive SEO, i use all the tools that i can find. Some tools work, others do not. But not because they are under penalty or anything like that.
No. Because their owners are utterly ignorant morons.
One such sites i believe is bizsugar, where basically most of what is posted is useless spam. I tried submitting an article from one of my own sites, which is dedicated to SEO, but my account got insta banned. What is really funny about this, is that the site in question is listed in dmoz, don’t have ads, or any affiliate links, or other distracting bullshit. (Unlike other sites that are submitted)
To top things off, this site also runs on a decent CMS engine, which was developed by some of the best minds in the industry (not naming any names). I’m sure a lot of you have similar weird cases, that we likely never really solve. I would really like to know why in the above case, (as well as quite a few unrelated cases).
I find it somewhat troubling that anyone can create a social website, and chose to reject and accept whatever they want. Most of these sites are not even run by real companies, but nothing more then wannabe internet Gurus, who don’t have what it takes to create quality content on their own. This holds true in most the cases, since you need quality content to get traffic. An easy way around this, is to open up a social site, preferably a dofollow one, so that you can catch the attention of the SEO world.
They are really trying to milk a dead cow here. Its very few people who make it to the top in this industry, Mack Zuckerberg is one of them. You don’t get anywhere just from running yet another social site, other then the brief attention from SEOs. Consider this you morons, i wouldn’t personally consider submitting anything to your sites, unless it was a decent quality dofollow site like dzone, where people actually do participate.
Most nofollow sites would have to be on the level of Facebook and Twitter before i would consider spending time on them, and thats purely for the attention.
So what is the deal about these sites? What are the intentions of its owners? My impression is that they often spend more time validating links, then they do on innovation and development of their sites, and usually end up with a spam index of no-name “want-to-make-money-online” beginners.
