Some so-called SEO experts promote the sites they maintain (or whatever they call it) by dumping links into other sites such as forums.
Although this obnoxious behaviour is difficult to prevent I think it’s good to point the finger at these idiots.
So here are the Idiot Awards (in no particular order)
The Bushwick BK News online newspaper, bushwickbk.com, apparently closing due to lack of interest. If they used SEO techniques like dumping links on Gumtree it’s no surprise.
The Metropolitan Room in New York (metropolitanroom.com) looks a little sleazy with appearances by ‘artistes’ you’ve never heard of and probably should stay that way. Avoid the developers too as they have no idea how to promote websites.
The scotlawman.co.uk document site (jurisdiction – Scotland) – well, if a legal company can’t operate in an ethical manner can you trust them with your business?
I’m sure there will be more cannon-fodder to follow
