I'm not surprised. Some of the early BuzzFeed people came from Demand Media, which if you remember brought you the seo spam machine that was eHow. BuzzFeed uses a lot of the same tactics we used, but they're more protected now because of social media. I can't imagine Facebook/Instagram/etc doing a "panda-esq" update to stop them.
- mmirate 9y ago> they're more protected now because of social media I'm sorry, I don't understand. The techniques, or BuzzFeed? And how does social media protect them?
- dawnerd 9y agoWith eHow we solely relied in flaws in the google ranking algorithm and crawler. Buzzfeed relies on social shares so it's not really something hint an algorithm can fix (easily). It'd also bring a lot of complaints from users if anyone tried to anyways.
