Hundred Dollar SEO

After hopping on as an early adopter of Friendster and MySpace I was dubious of Facebook. But after weeks and weeks of hearing everyone talk about it, and repeated “I’ll Facebook You. What YOU aren’t on Facebook.” I have given in and built a profile.

One of the very first thing that the system introduced to me was fliers — pay per click banner advertising. I am intrigued, to say the least, but I am also a bit skeptical. Of the large social network sites Facebook seems to be the most actively monetized — with the gifts, fliers, and apps — but also the most actively used in my experience. I am curious why the giving of credit card information to a type of site that is synonymous with hacked accounts doesn’t send off alarms in most people’s head.

I think that MySpace has sent me five Macy’s Gift Card in two weeks from hacked accounts. I don’t really care about that, unwanted advertising is to be expected on the Internet. But every person who has seen these ads, or a phishing scam posing as PayPal, should realize that having a Facebook account hacked will be far more devastating. The combination of credit card information and the feed of changes potentially could make major headaches for anyone who loses control of their account.
