100% unethical and useless .edu link building tactic

So today I came across this guy here posting about another 100% ethical way to get .edu backlinks ...

And he was even mentioned by Aaron on the SEOBOOK blog…

Just a week after the big How to spam .edu blogs ethically for free (what great products you can buy for $7 … ) I find that Hybrid guy having tons of links and cheers for his irritating suggestion to post jobs to university job boards… fake jobs 99% of the time I guess (altough he didn’t suggest that, it’s an obvious consequence)

So again, his idea might be OK if you REALLY got a job in the area of that university…

but HOW MANY of those mass-linkbuilding (spamming) teams will really take care about THAT requirement?

I foresee a HUGE mass of fake jobs getting posted onto some .edu job boards, misleading all sorts of hopeful students … oh well.

But you know what’s best?

That whole great and “ethical trick” is a big useless waste of time. For the link builders, the clients and of course the frauded students looking for a job.

These job postings are removed after 4 weeks. Just as on craigslist.

so the ONLY thing you can use this for is to put your spam links in there and then SPAM this page to hell, just as some other .edu spam works only via a lot more spammy links pointing to it.

BECAUSE, this “fake job post” page you create has NO pagerank and NO inbound links – unless you start you blog comment spam bots to put links to it to “copy” that cialis spam meme that “Joe Whyte” came across and used as a sample for the “trust” of his fake job pages.

And then, worst of all, I found this “trick” even featured on WebProNews.

I think – it’s NOT ethical – and IT’s a waste of time.

Pretty retarded – What do you think?

PS: read those blog comments to find link builders cheer in like “one of the best methods where we can start building links and I think it is very cost effective also. Smart piece of work.” ... LOL.
