Tagging and social bookmarking sites appear the same on the surface with few apparent variations.
Dig a little deeper and you will find differences aplenty.
Take 30DayTags.com for instance.
Here you can simply submit your site and fill out details and tags to run your site under.
No membership needed (they all seem to want you to join up before you even see if being a part of that community is worthwhile!)
Not 30 Day Tags – simply visit, submit, and let the market decide if you are worthy to stay on top.
For those of us who strive to write relevant, useful content, this is no deterrent.
For spammers, it can be quite frustrating having people vote on viagra ads they submit because there is no positive gain whatsoever in the social bookmarking world for spammers.
Which is funny that such a simple solution to spam could come about by letting the “people” decide rather than robots.
Not a single robot has ever been written that spammers cannot defeat.
The only thing that CAN defeat them is human presence.
And innovative sites like 30 Day Tags put the humans back in charge of the web!
