Yahoo! owned MyBlogLog seems to have banned one of the internet’s recent celebrities Jeremy Schoemaker from it’s site because he had the audacity to point out it’s flaws. Loads of SEO blogs are going nuts bout this, promising to boycott the site and writing all manner of horrible things about the people that run it. What’s the point though? Does a link from MyBlogLog really make that much difference in terms of SEO? And, outside of Western Geekland (where I must admit I enjoy living sometimes), has anyone even heard of MyBlogLog.com.
I guess they have now. Could it all be a case of extreme linkbaiting? “Let’s pick a popular internet user like Shoemoney, ban him and see how much publicity we can create for our site”. Hell, it got me to visit their site to see what it was all about (and frankly I didn’t see the appeal, but then I’m not a Myspace junkie either).
