- saber_taylor 14y agoWithout squinting too closely, I think it's this one. I get these on Livejournal and have seen them around the 'net. There's generic content that may apply to any possible post, and then the incentive is the PageRank that flows back from the username link. An improvement even would be to have a bot generate text based on the post, and then have paid humans deal with the captchas. </evilhat>
- EGreg 14y agoI thought username links were nofollow?
- kgarten 14y agohhmmm ... not sure, seems they are really bad in English (e.g. "JuuuuubtghyAujkykkik"). Some are obvious spam or I guess she just want's to meet guys: "meet me at fb gyz... ankit050@yahoo.com" ;)
- nalbyuites 14y agoA bit off-topic but Ankit is a boy's name in India. And yes, that's how many communicate, often using teenage girl lingo.
