We typically don't allow trackbacks for this very reason, but allowed them on this post for some reason. All trackbacks on Cheezhead are nofollow'd, so there's no link juice passed to the spammer.

I have never seen this before... guessing they might be using a hidden link on their webpage in order to appear on yours. Joel, is the ‘global domains’ comment above a comment spam strategy?

Ultimately, the content isn't copyrighted by Monster because the job descriptions belong to the employers. And, of course, all the employers care about is getting enough exposure to get the right candidates, so they aren't going to turn over their copyright to the job boards. In any case, the job boards are all having problems because any 'ol database can store jobs. And as you have pointed out, Herr Cheezmeister, job listings are available everywhere on blogs and the market has become diluted. What value does posting a job on a Monster have anymore? Other than getting 500 unqualified resumes for every 1 qualified one? Dan I’m not sure how the job boards could shut off Indeed if they wanted to.

Do they not see the threat, or is it anti-Google sentiment, or what? The real question in my mind is why the big three haven’t shut off Indeed?

If anyone thought Indeed was going to earn their revenue from ONLY Job Boards, c'mon.
