Susan: these aren't "individuals posting themselves as date bait" -- this is an adult matchmaking site, alt.com, spamming Google Base.
They're posting teasers to get folks to click through to their site, hoping they'll sign up as members, etc.
I hope Google figures a way to shut them down.
HotorNot.com has also seemingly put their entire DB in. I bet additional "legitimate" sites will follow suit. Porn always leads the way and always will. Google simply needs to add a "Safe Search" option to Google Base to protect kids and some adults.
"My latest favorite one person show is plentyoffish.com, which is a dating site. The service is very similar to other established competitors–except it’s completely free to use (other sites, like Match, charge a monthly fee). The site’s sole owner and employee claims to generate ~$10,000/day from contextual ads.
Looks like plentyoffish.com has about 1/6th of the traffic that Match.com has."
