Social Marketing Podcast #2: To Spam Or Not To Spam?

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

This episode of the Social Marketing Dominator Podcast is all about Spam.

I’ve seen a growing amount of spam in online social media:

Social bookmarking sites are being overrun with thousands of posts with spammy sites offering no real value. Social media sites are being hit too.  People wanting to increase traffic are filling these sites with content only for 2 purposes: 1 - To scream “BUY MY STUFF” or 2 - To grab links to junk websites. Social networking sites like myspace & Facebook have taken aggressive measures to prevent people from doing automated mass friend adding and blasting huge volumes of messages.
