How?
- felipemnoa 15y agoGood question. I don't mean the sellers. But rather the accounts that are being sold. Meaning that the buyer of such an account will have wasted 10$. Don't see why would anybody pay for a +1 account though. Especially since they will eventually open the gates to everyone.
- ChuckMcM 15y agoSo imagine you are a black hat for a moment. You've run your drive by malware campaign and harvested a couple hundred thousand Google login credentials, or maybe you just sit and wait and when the browser is open you send a +1 to the site your master told you to send it to. So now Google has hundreds of +1 votes coming from otherwise legitimate users. How do they fight that?
- vaksel 15y agoremove SEOshop from organic results, and block them from Adwords until they shut down the operation.
- felipemnoa 15y agoGood point. Had not thought of that. Although it would probably become kind of obvious that there is something fishy going on. Why would a site that has no real value all of a sudden start getting a lot of +1s? They would have to be really subtle to go undetected.
