I don't get how this blurb is still on the front page after 8 hours, let alone how it has 26 points without any interesting comments. (Probably because it's not an interesting article; enterprise SEO dashboards are neither technologically interesting nor novel to the industry.) This whole thing looks to me like SEO people gaming the system (surprise, surprise).

I don't see what anyone forcing this to the front page would be trying to accomplish, though. Recruiting? Self-promotion? This is the problem with search-engine marketers, Reddit scammers, and the like. Just because a link makes it to the front page of an aggregator site doesn't mean that its content is interesting or engaging enough to captivate people and get them to respond to calls to action. Back in my (short) SEO days, we stressed that content was king, and if you didn't have good content to share, then there was nothing we could do to help you (except buy links from shady web directories).

We didn't game anything. We're a small startup trying to disrupt much larger competitors and there are actually some very hard technical problems we are solving. I agree that what we do isn't as sexy as many other things out there but we are trying to solve a big problem that a lot of people have.

Not sure how I'm supposed to respond. Have a nice day.

If you'd bothered to look into what Ginzametrics actually does, you wouldn't have left an uneducated comment like this. Next time, I'd suggest you do some homework on the company you are going to troll on. Just because it's in the SEO market doesn't mean it's doing anything unethical.
