Thanks for pointing out Patrick (I got a google alert)

We take this issue very strictly and are taking preventive action against such activity immediately. Since the service is newly launched, I presume our freelancer has been experimenting with what it does.

Pls accept our sincere apologies for the same,

Dear Patrick,

Thanks for bringing this activity to our intention.

After reading your blog post I have spoken to the person concerned. He was only experimenting with your new service of twitition (BTW – I feel it’s a brilliant concept) and was not deliberately spamming it.

However, we wish to apologize for this and we will make sure such things never happen again in the future since we are very very strict about how our brand is being used, and this case is clearly not representative.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Aloke
Founder-CEO, iXiGO

PS: We have never used paid links.

I really should start a blog outing all the “SEOs” and “social media marketing experts” who spam legitimate social news sites. As a moderator at financial news site Tipd.com, you have no idea how many people (including people I know in real life!) don’t understand how social news is used by submitting off-topic junk and writing comments that show they want to make a sale beyond anything else. Sadly, they do sell services and have a handful (tens? hundreds?) of clients, but why should anyone buy from them? At the end of the day, their customers look bad too.

What’s with all the snitching on Blogstorm recently? Is it really necessary? Did you put the paid link report in? Just wondered what grounds it was on?

This is a great blog, with some great posts – but I have to be honest and say all this snitchy business is going in totally the wrong direction.

Keep the faith Patrick and get some love back in your posts. Ignore the rubbish – focus on the positive.

Experimenting? by posting a link to your website!? I don’t agree with you anon. Patrick has a good point, someone claims they are a freelance SEO Analyst should not be going around spamming sites. Im sure that there are many SEO’s that have visited Twitition and not spammed it…It’s not that he’s “snitching”.. just pointing out that there are so many people claiming to be SEO’s but cant practice it right.

I don’t really think he was experimenting something on Twitition, the simple reason being – http://twitter.com/seoanalyst2009 (his twitter account), you can judge what kind of Spammy SEO he is! I agree to what Rick posted above “there are so many people claiming to be SEO’s but can’t practice it right”.

@Aloke (Founder-CEO, iXiGO), you better source your SEO work to someone who can product quality work rather to this freelancer , who only brings spammy feel to users who will access your site from places he promotes.

You would find hordes of these self-professed SEOs and Social Media Strategists who don’t know his a** from a hole in the ground. I had to enable comment moderation on my site just for bozos like this. All they know is promotion, but what they don’t know is how to do it elegantly. And Alok, who are you kidding by saying that he was “testing” his skills! One does not need to spam to try out a new software.
