Interesting story. I don't want to make any checks, but it seems the story itself could be false; in some way that's even more interesting. E.g. all the sites that are mentionned could exist, but have been created long ago to give this story credits.
This also makes me think to all those people that endorse me on linkedin, presumably so that I endorse them back.
- jgh 13y agoCharityNewsForum.com was registered in September 2011...so it seems about right.
- lifeisstillgood 13y agoThe first thing to do surely is to find existing old domain names that have basically never changed. That indicates they are available to purchase. Buy a site that has been running for ten years but is now out of use and google will love anything it says for a long time. Might be interesting to quantify that value to google - as banruptcy administrators might want to know how much a domain name is worth
- troels 13y agoNah, they endorse you by accident, most likely. Linkedin incessantly buggers its users with requests to endorse ones connections. You almost have to make an effort NOT to endorse, if you navigate the site.
- mpclark 13y ago"Bugs", surely? Although you may be right...
- troels 13y agoCurious. I'm not a native speaker, but I thought "bugger" could be used in that way. Not so?
- Tobu 13y agoHaha, I learned something and this thread is funnier for it: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bugger#Verb https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bugger#Verb
- mpclark 13y agoNo, as a verb it pretty much only has one meaning, which you should look up :) Kudos on your English though. I'd never have guessed you aren't a native speaker.
- troels 13y agoOh. That could be cause for an ackward situation, I guess.
