It reminds me of the "link farms" of yesteryear before Google smacked them down, or the internet marketer who tries to make money selling PDFs about ... how to make money.
Eventually Soundcloud will get wise to this and change the game, and the arms race will continue, all at the expense of the end user.
Call it "networking" all you want, but let's face it, you're knee deep in the business of SPAM.
The admins spend most the day kicking spammers/poor commenting. Make no mistake that we don't aim to just let people come in and copy/paste crap all over SoundCloud. People who get reported via our live Facebook group get investigated and then either warned or banned immediately if bringing rubbish into the system. It's pretty much a mutual comment exchange agreement as most people are tired of putting effort in with no return from ungrateful people in SoundClound.
Plus SoundCloud are 100% aware of what we are doing and have no problem.

OK, well I know when to eat humble pie, it could be a good idea as long as people don't abuse it. I was in a funny mood earlier, and associated your low post count with one of the many chancers that come to this forum, so, sorry for my brash response, and thanks for keeping your cool.
I also just realised you're the same Neurojazz as on boards.ie, one of the most helpfull music guys online.
Good luck with the project. I'll keep my eye on it.

No problem! - i'm pretty frustrated as there is much more to be added to the site yet, really am working to bring some badly needed solutions to the current mire that is the industry. Boards.ie helped me lots for cool keeping lol.
