How I Uncovered A Link Bomb Strategy on Facebook
Bragging on Medium about getting followers got him banned
A screen shot by a Moderator in a Facebook group, showing how the member was link bombing up to 64 times in a single day to get traction on Medium.
It is a hard night’s day today!
I am a moderator in a large group of writers for Medium on Facebook (11k members) and I was up until 5am, working out the spamming strategy of a new member.
He had only been in the group since early January, but got under my skin when he posted a link to his own story under mine.
Totally irrelevant topic.
No interaction. Didn't even like my post, no claps for it, didn't indicate that he even knew I was alive!
So, I decided to investigate his Facebook behaviour. WOW!!
I have posted an image of his link bombing 💣 in the past 30 days!
64 on a single day in March
39 yesterday, until I caught on
And huge numbers all through the weeks, just bombing 💣 everyone else's posts .
The real shame about this is that he writes good stuff. Very good stuff
