Paid posts can only swing a Web site’s all-important rank in search engines and blog directories.Back in 2006 when plenty of bloggers embedded trailers of Ashley Judd movie ‘Bug’ in their posts. The video become one of the most popular on Technorati.com. Paid posties polluted search engines to declare the movie ‘bug’ as trending topics around blogsphere while it wasn’t a real trending topic at all.
I've been doing some informal research work over the past couple of months, and discovered that a frequency of approx 20 tweets per minute mentioning the same word is enough to create a top trending topic on Twitter.
Back to the point, Should Google exclude paid posts from its set frequency that detect what is trending and what is paid, because paid cannot be trendy.
Is it (Pay Per Post) an advertising, marketing, branding, channel or it’s an fabricated attempt to buy attention of Google’s and Technorati’s spider. As I believe that real critics and user generated contents/commentaries is the only source to establish your Brand, rather paying people to produce massive word of mouth and type links and links and links.
A brand cannot be establish by paying people to talk about you or your product or company, unless you build a community and gain real trust.
I think these paid posts are misleading readers, and creating pollution for search engines to retrieve what is trendy.
If these paid posts sites are really interested to swing their website all over the web, they better offer Pay per view too.
