Hard to tell right now, 25 upvotes is quite a bit, but all it really takes is about 4 or so in the first couple of minutes for anything at all to get a bunch more upvotes, I've seen that often enough. If it had a bunch of upvotes in two minutes or so that would be definitely suspect. Even PGs posts don't go that fast, so that's a good indicator something is fishy.

The http://mini- news.com/ (url messed up on purpose) seems to be an SEO spam site, so you're probably right.

Hey, jacquesm, honestly, - have you EVER VISITED the http://mini- news.com/ (url messed up on purpose) you mentioned so angry? Does it look like a spam site full of ads? Absolutely not! The spam is to tell people you don't know for sure!

Actually, yes, I looked at it before I wrote that.

I think he's saying that the way you keep repeating "iPad" on that page is very spammy and seems to be designed to game SEO.

Also, your site needs something. It looks kind of drab. Have you ever considered throwing some AdMob ads on there? :P
