All backlinks within the flux network are gone!
- SEO |
This is bad news. Anyone who used the flux community for their backlink campaign will probably get quite a fallout from this. Flux is the network consisting of 100s of sites such as VH1,MTV,Comedy Central,Beyonce etc etc. I used to create a lot of profiles there the past few days with 2 links in each about me text and now its all gone. 
This is what the typical profile page looks like now: KevJumba | User Profiles | JT260 | About Me
As you can see the html content is empty. I know that a lot of other marketers have been using flux, going way back. A LOT of work went into this since one had to re-register with separate emails for each new account. My guess is that some got overzealous again and spammed the sites with dozens of links lately. I have seen some comments where this was done, for photos as well as profiles. When will people learn? What to do?
Hmm, it looks like one can still leave html links in the comments box so one could go back and redo all the links via this method - but I'm inclined to think that the webmasters would soon eliminate these too. ARGH...
