More on Squidoo spam (and Hubpages doing a good job?)
Almost on cue to the Squidoo spamming response comes another piece of porn/ringtone-spam… this one leverages not just Squidoo but also Hubpages.
Hubpages, however, has *already* taken down the offending porn/spam pages. Not sure if they got a complaint or something, but obviously they are doing a better job minding the store than Squidoo.
Why wouldn’t these people just put one quality control person on the incoming “new pages” and take down the spam? (answer: less page views/revenue). If Wikipedia with no f/t staff can keep spam off their pages why can’t venture-capital back companies? You could hire a service in India for nothing to just review pages.
The offending email after the jump…
