I was tipped off by a reader that Social Networking site, Bharat Student is spamming on Orkut by posting short links to Po*n vidoes hosted on BharatStudent.Com
I did check myself and found the allegation to be true. However, I am not sure if folks paid by the company are doing it or someone else. To me it seems like BharatStudent.Com is paying someone to spam on Orkut. Why ?
- Most of those spam postings are by females with names such as Hema, Supriya etc..
- All the links are short links and resolve to only BharatStudent.Com. Why not to YouTube ? Why not to any of these Indian Video Sharing websites ?
- Someone posting this URL is doing it very intelligently. They don’t post a link that can be clicked, but a link such as “jesical.notlong.com” or “starturl.com/annakova” or “tinyurl.com/2lc232”. They ask to cut and paste in a new browser window. By doing so, they don’t get referral from Orkut. [Orkut and Google dislike anybody linking to Adult content by removing them from search engine index.] Thus BharatStudent spammers are posting non clickable links which are also being escaped from Google’s automated link parser thus preserving page rank.
BharatStudent should be ashamed to host Adult videos when it calls itself a social networking site for the Indian student community and has a punch line – Young Soul of India.
