Unrelated, but I am thinking about how do I get alpha users for an app I am building, and decided to check Product Hunt if they offer any sort of feature to help with that, and I ended up on this page https://www.producthunt.com/questions https://www.producthunt.com/questions Looks like someone is trying to pull a Forbes... And I guess related to you, please don't do that :)

Crikey, that looks horrible... Any ideas what that is about? Sorry I don't understand the Forbes reference.

  Forbes, a name that probably makes people think about business articles, has been publishing all sorts of non-business pieces and they did extremely well on SEO because the domain has a lot of authority and inbound links. So well that basically people were speculating the SEO part would take over the more traditional business. Google caught up recently (as in a few weeks ago) and has heavily punished their ranks. Ironically if you search Google for “Forbes SEO” you’ll find many articles about what happened. I think it all started with something titled “The parasitic company trying to take over Forbes”
