www.uk-disco.com (who are they)

[paulg]

I received a text today from a website calling itself www.uk-disco.com which asked if I wanted to add a 'free' listing to their "highly ranked" site.

Does anyone know who these people are? The website has absolutley no information at all about who runs the site and when i rang the text phone number, there was no reply. That in itself makes me wary but, the site also looks like a 5 year old has designed it.

Then what makes you want to sign up?

Before anyone comments make sure you don't confuse it with http://www.uk-disco.co.uk/

I wouldnt sign up looking at the site.

I don't really understand why someone wouldn't want to add their details to a free disco listing site, especially one which includes a link to their website, therefore helping to increase their Google search results.

therefore helping to increase their Google search results.

Not necessarily.

More likely they're leveraging your reputation to improve theirs.

Linking to sites with a bad rep can pull yours down

[dj keevers]

maybe reasonable to add a listing but its a poorly laid out site and may, as vectis warns, lead to your linking harming your search engine rating than improving it

I got a text in the garden centre and thought it was the .co.uk site.

seems OK.

It really annoys me when they put south east and south west (same on this site).
I live in Southampton which is slap bang in the middle. being stupid it confuses me.

why not by county only (although it does do that too).

Congratulations on your award Keevers, when was the ceremony, I seem to have missed it?
