I have been seeing examples of this pop up more frequently at social sites like Linked in. Most profiles are created with the intent of promoting links to ones business or profit center. However, this company just went right for the jugular. It's been up for at least a week. How can linked in miss such a profile?

obvious spam but shows how to be more aggressive in your listing - take the method and leave the spam

I have a former client on my linkedin connections that owns a limo service in Dallas that is doing the same thing..... some call it spam... others think of it as effective interactive marketing.... depends on how it is done.

Just wait for the "start your own business from home" folks to do the same. :rolleyes:
