Kirislin Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I've got this "person" following me on redbubble. I looked at their profile and the photos they've posted and it seems very odd to me. Why would you post the photos he/she/it has on redbubble. I'm a bit confused and wondering what they are using redbubble for. These are the tags on their photos " seonext, seo next reviews, seonext review, seonext reviews, seonext scam, seo next complaints, seo next bad reviews " http://www.redbubble.com/people/seonextreviews Edited July 9, 2014 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I would surmise it is a business .. and maybe by 'following' gets folks interested, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yes, it's a bloke called Mark Blackhurst but I still cant work out why he's posted such odd photos on RB. There's just something very odd about him and it. If I could block him I would but I dont think RB has that facility, certainly not just because I get bad vibes off it.

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) search engine optimisation is about trying to trick search engines like google into giving websites you've been paid to promote - higher rankings in searches. So for some reason this person is trying to use your redbubble id to promote a website ranking in google. It's also like a forum spammer - ie someone who comes and posts but puts text or links to promote a particular website / business. I don't know anything about redbubble followers but if its like twitter - not a lot you can do. As best I can tell twitter is completely open - you can't limit who gets to see your tweets or who gets to follow you. This person might be trying to promote some business related to dog products. I notice the tags are all along the lines of se o n xt complaints scams etc. Note - if you type out their name exactly - you help their google ranking but if you put a couple of extra characters in - it won't match so well.

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 PS it's probably not Mark himself but his "new delhi" team working on his behalf. Sigh. They pay poor people to spam everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
