Big-brand magpies: see it, love it, take it

Life is so simple when you’re a brand: just be a magpie. You can recycle all the bright shiny objects you find on the Web, and make money.

AOL’s Love.com Spams Google to Bits | SEO Book.com reports on an example of this:

“Love.com is a mashup of remixed twitter posts, youtube videos, aggressive 3rd party content snippets, automated cross linking, frame-jacked 3rd party content, pop-ups, automated subdomain spam, all pushed on a purchased domain name that had existing links.

Love.com is so bad that it inspired this quote from noted SEO expert Jeremy Luebke, ‘This stuff make Mahalo look like the best site on the net.’”

Shameless, quite shameless.
