They use to hijack user's IE browser and load their site after every few minutes.. They also advertise on PORN websites.. All this to just increase their alexa ranking so that they can provide that they have very high traffic. The site bharatstudent is shit.

All the bigwigs now have done it before n everyone knows abt it! The end point is we need to appreciate few good features coming up in couple of Indian sites like Bharatstudent.com, minglebox and Ibibo. Firstly Bharatstudent.com has couple of unique features like hiring campus reps in india and abroad which will be helpful for students to earn a buck. then it has study abroad section which i think if they concentrate well would take them to next level! there's another interesting feature where in users would be paid for uploading original videos. And if you observe mingle box, i can tell u this is one of the most profesionally designed website. besides social networking they have some good college videos too. N lastly Ibibo is the first of its kind in India. they pay top bloggers every month. so guys, instead of creating negative impact about the websites, try to lookinto the features of each site and let others know abt it, so that they can get benifited!

It may not be the most ethical marketing tactic. But as you can see its effective for them. It can only be useful if their product is good. And their niche of study abroad students is something that can be very powerful in the future i.e. if they are able to build and sustain a large enough community. I agree amit.

Well as far as spamming goes even minglebox spammed me on orkut but they got funded by sequoia later. This post as you see is focussed more on education + socialnetworking being a good model. Bharatstudent has got the numbers with them and though they might be spammers they are building a niche where there are very few players hence an opportunity for them to lead.
