Why is Forbes fake-mirroring quora, and why is Google Panda letting them PageRank highly for duplicated content?
- ridruejo 15y agoYeah. Is this the monetization strategy for Quora? Somehow it feels like the people who turn the Wikipedia articles into PDF and sell them on Amazon. At least in this case they mention in the article clearly where it comes from, but it still feels "funny"
- spindritf 15y ago> Is this the monetization strategy for Quora? Or a promotional device? There are links to related questions on Quora below the article.
- evmar 15y agoWhat's especially interesting to me is that Forbes is the monetizing on this user's content (I got a full-page ad on the first load). This is surely allowed by Quora's ToS but it still makes me uncomfortable. In fact, a vague worry about this kind of thing -- that the site taps into my "help out in this community" instinct when in fact it's doing so to extract value from me -- is what caused me to quit Quora in the first place.
