No its not.

So I was on Facebook this morning, when for some reason, I accidentally clicked an ad. I’m not sure what the ad said, or looked like, but I think I clicked on one. I move fast. All of a sudden, I’m taken to this….

What a well done phishing job!

So after I saw the post, I had to admit that the site looked legit. First I looked up at the URL… http://washington-reporter.com/gibberish. Then I read a few paragraphs. Then I checked out the picture of the dude, read the caption, then scrolled down to see if there were comments. Sure enough, there were. I didn’t click on anything though. Let me just get that point across. There was no clicking whatsoever.

Any ways, after thinking that this could possibly be a true post, I did some searching myself and found the actual Piece of Crap link to Twitter Profit House. (That was a SEO joke.. did you catch it?) – After looking through the site, I soon began to realize that this could be a total piece of douche baggery going on here. Back to the article again.

After a glance at the comments, I soon realized that there was not an ounce of negative reaction to this article. Everyone was 19 and making hundreds in their parents basement or something. I dunno. But the picture for the 1st comment killed me.

Everything about this image is hilarious!

Tell me, what does AdSense for content have to do with Twitter?

Any ways, if any of you have ANY experience with Twitter and AdSense, then you should find that picture just hilarious. – By this time, I began asking myself, whether it was companies like these that push those freakingly dumb tweets out there that try to make you click stuff. You know, the ones that say… “Just found a great site! Free $100 Visa Gift Cards! – http://bit.ly/AnEKT” Probably right?

With this recent influx of crap that is floating around on Twitter, I think it is important to reevaluate the metrics that we hear about on almost a daily basis. Yeah its growing substantially. Sure there are lots of famous people out there. But maybe, just maybe, there is a bit of falsity going on here. I mean, what is with the increase of spammy accounts out there? Oh maybe these people follow @NYTimes and want to emulate the way they tweet. Who knows.

Peace.
