I smell a rat. It's pretty common for spammers to create an account on public forums, let it sit for 30-60 days, and then come in and create a generic, link-bait style post which they later use to post links in (once the post has been around a while). The advantage is that Google indexes the page, gives it a high page rank due to the density and good content.

I just have a tough time believing that anyone who reads this site and techcrunch would ask such a question.



I actually need help. This is not a spam. click on my user, I have created my account over 2 months ago and never posted yet. I submit my start up to Ycombinator and Techstar this year but didnt get accepted. So I am looking for help. Techcrunch dont teach you how to get funded, there just tell you who get funded. This is why I asked. Sometime question may seem obvious. No matter how much you know, you can always learn more.


Don't worry - we believe you

I believe comments without a certain amount of points have nofollow tags attached to their links.


links in comments are always nofollow
