‘Should Venture Backed Startups Engage in Spammy SEO?’ – ‘SEO Book’ Blog
The latest ‘SEO Book’ blog post is titled “Should Venture Backed Startups Engage in Spammy SEO?”.
Aaron Wall say, “Recently a thread on Hacker News highlighted a blog post which pointed how RapGenius was engaging in reciprocal promotional arrangements where they would promote blogs on their Facebook or Twitter accounts if those bloggers would post a laundry list of keyword rich deeplinks at RapGenius.
Matt Cutts quickly chimed in on Hacker News “we’re investigating this now.”
A friend of mine and I were chatting yesterday about what would happen. My prediction was that absolutely nothing would happen to RapGenius, they would issue a faux apology, they would put no effort into cleaning up the existing links, and the apology alone would be sufficient evidence of good faith that the issue dies there”.
