Growth hacking is just high ROI activities. Sometimes the techniques don't work out. There is risk to any action, not growth hacking is just as much a risky choice as growth hacking. If one can make billions of dollars based on how many page views they get, it would behoove them to not try anything that would get them users for less then a few billion dollars. Amongst the horrible things that happen everyday to make money link spam isn't a huge problem... I've seen this kinda stuff done for thousands of dollars, the internet is just a tragedy of the commons, link spam, link bait, etc can pay off handsomely. Find your technique, exploit the fuck out of it, put some money in your pocket and call it a day. Rapgenius just got busted before they got the pay off. Too bad so sad. If they're smart they can probably still exploit the fuck out of the "You'll cry after you hear these 5 words from Justin Beiber" upworthy type crap on FB before that game is played out. I hope they can pull off a Cuban an unload their stock before the gig is up.
