Before you post one more link about a webpage, blog post, or share a link in Facebook about some site with false info that you wish to debunk, PLEASE read this article: skeptools.wordpress/2013/08/13/do-not-link-donotlink-ethically-criticize-seo-nofollow/ You may be driving traffic to the very woo or false information site that you are criticizing. Search engines use link-backs to rank pages for searches. Every time you post a link about a woo page you actually drive more traffic to it. This tells you how to avoid that by using donotlink. I have put a bookmark to donotlink on my browser toolbar so that I can quickly modify the url of the woo site so that search engines dont count it as a link-back by adding a do-not-follow command. All you need to do is resist using those convenient social media share buttons by the article and simply cut and paste the url into donotlink to make it safe to post without driving additional traffic to the site with false info. PLEASE share this with your group members and facebook friends to avoid driving traffic to the very false info sites we wish people not to read. Lets try to make the skeptical articles and blogs come up first when people are searching for woo, quackery, or other bad information.
