Darren has an interesting article over at Problogger today on “Profile Peddling” which is setting up sites on services such as MySpace to drive traffic to your site. Now I’ve got accounts on most of these services, but to be honest I’d never really seen them as a way to drive traffic to sites (I just like playing with new stuff 🙂 ). The question is also raised: is this ethical? I like one particular commenter who wrote that it’s ethical unless you are doing it for unethical reasons! Food for thought.
Profile Peddling the new SEO
The deal with the profiles is that it also helps your pagerank. That’s one of the biggest pluses that I can see. It however doesn’t drive that much traffic IMO.
