Harith 07/22/2008 11:07pm <div id="msg_411821"> Desphunn. I dont support promoting spamming twitter.That not spamming twitter,., now if you want me to tell you how to do that ok, but their infostructure cant take it..Dave</div>
lovely tip Dave, Thanks
cool Dave cool
im still pissed that Harith thinks this is spamming, Im mean It my twitter page why shouldnt i link to myself without a nofollow if i can
thats not spam at all unless you think dave isnt relevant for his own domain name.how you use the tools before you is up to you, most people use a hammer to build houses, but some will use it to break windows. But we dont go calling black & decker or stanley criminals because some uses their tools inaapropriately.
How is linking to your own site from your bio spamming? By the way, this "trick" can be used on SO many sites because most CMSs are designed to automatically turn anything containing http://www...com into a link. If the developers havent applied a nofollow condition to that field then you get the good link. I shudder whenever I see people just put www. in press releases and distributed articles instead of including http:// . What a waste...
Like with all aspects of our industry, many different people have many different standpoints.Some may see this technique as similar to code injection, or do not like the idea of purposely acquiring followd links.Nothing to be pissed about, it looks like Harith just Desphunn to say that he didnt like the tip. Many others will Sphinn to say that they like it.
nah bollocks Rob :) Hairth didnt only deshunn he openly stated that Matt Cutts outed me for spamming which is what i took offence for http://sphinn.com/story/60752
DaveN,If I did upset you as a person, pls accept my apology. It could be if you and I meet in real life, we migt like each other as persons.But as a SEO, I still belive that in the current case of Twitter, you are promoting spam in daylight. I dont like that ;-)
we will have to disagree on the spam, like i said on your thread i feel sorry that you got so many negs.. but still dont feel matt was outing me has a spammer and im pretty sure the "Rumor has it.. Matt Cutts might join Apple as Head Of iPhone Team" isnt true either
DaveN,"and im pretty sure the "Rumor has it.. Matt Cutts might join Apple as Head Of iPhone Team" isnt true either"That was a joke :-)Matt is an iPhone freak and he keeps posting iPhone posts, as you might have noticed. Therefore the "Rumor has it ..." :-)"i feel sorry that you got so many negs."No worries. 7 desphunn out of a community of several thousands, doesnt matter :-)
Actually.. I dont follow Matt that close.. DaveN
i think we should take bets at how long until this is gone.i say by friday.
I did not know about this one..I think I have to try this later, too..^^
Ive known about this for a while. It doesnt really make sense that its set up this way, but it was nice the nofollow wasnt everywhere. I think twitter can afford to share, dont you?
This is a give and take, we promote twitter and need to get something out of it as well. Simple solution and thanks Dave ... will go ahead and check it out now.
If the requirements arent evaluated and the site isnt strictly coded and security-evaluated many such flaws will exist that both hackers and opportunists will be taking advantage of.Its up to the owners to decide if they want to have a platform that is easily gamed, or whether they want to tighten things up and mostly stay in control of their own site.
@Dave dont take my Desphunn wrong way .. I did that cuz i was not agreed with u !! Im a subscriber and love ur blog, but about this topic Im with Harith. This is not a natural way of building backlinks ... Spammers will signup for 100 New accounts and will be able to get 100 Backlinks for there website/blog .. take it this way !!
Desphunn. I dont support promoting spamming twitter.
Agreed with Harith !! This is Spamming !! @Dave dont take this wrong way !!
