Hey LinkedIn – Tighten up those spam filters!

Let me start off by first saying that I think LinkedIn is one of the coolest websites ever launched. Truth be told, LinkedIn is the best way to manage your contacts online. Next to maybe Facebook, LinkedIn is probably the biggest social networking sites for business people on the Internet. That said, it has one fatal flaw that smart marketers can/should/do take advantage of. The LinkedIn search engine is pretty accurate, but doesn't take into consideration on-page keyword spam! Just sign and search a keyword – one of the best examples if the keyword "seo." Just think about all the great ways to take advantage of this. Hey LinkedIn, if you need some advice on how to manage this let me know! If you go to Linkedin.com, and search "seo" this is what you get (major on-page keyword spam going on here): 
I love LinkedIn, so this is not a jab, but rather an opportunity to take advantage of a great system. The window of opportunity will likely close at some point.
