Yes, but similar to your Post Count here on GFY... you would be less trusting of a
New Profile that has basically Zero
Reputation.
Additionally, I would build a References List or Friends List (the same thing as a mySpace friends list).
If someone pulls up to you on a Profile with Zero or low friends... it would look basically the same as a Noob posting here with a post count of 10.
Here on GFY... chances are... your going to take someone with a high post count more seriously then a Noob with a post count of 10.
These are some of the same strategies used by Google
- Domain Age = Profile Age
- Domain Reputation = Profile Reputation: Positive or Negative Comments
- References (from other domains) = Profile Friends/Associations
* Things that are Very Difficult to Repeat as a Scam/SPAM artist
I think most people here are already doing this - but just keeping track in their heads.
