I would suggest that you watch his performance of 'Stutter', "Not Alone", or his cover of 'Teenage Dream' at Northalsted Market Days! Those are some of my faves!

I am a Dad who grew up with Beatles and Rolling stones.
No Idea that one day my daughter would have asked me for One Direction tickets to see a band who would be famous like the Beatles.
I was her Birthday and evertimes she mentioned to me about the 1D
Boys, Her eyes and expression of excitment, but then the mere fact is that she is my millineum baby and its her 13th (Teenagers) birthday.
Well, I would have asked for three tickets, but unfortnately, one is in
heaven and one on earth. Well, God Bless and Good Luck to these
famous guys who have really turned the world upside down. Theres
seem to be like NO DIRECTION, but "ONE DIRECTION."

Christina, thanks for taking the time to comment - Darren Criss does sound like a pretty talented guy. Any performances in particular you recommend checking out?

I'm so happy and proud that Darren is, finally, getting the recognition and exposure he deserves! As a hardcore Darren fan - thank you for taking the time to check out his work. If you ever get some free time, you should check out some of his live performances of YouTube. He's incredibly gifted.

I deserve to win because I am the biggest directinor there has ever been! My room is nothing but One Direction and I <3 them. I also, would like those tickets becuse I will never be able to go to a 1D concert if it wasn't free because my parents can't afford them.

To me, One Direction are more than just a band. They have changed the way I see music since the first time I watched their videos on YouTube, and learned that they have the most talent than any other boy band in the entire world. I've also learned that they are real people too. They have fun with everything they do, especially touring and meeting their fans. They are truly an inspiration to me and too many other people all over the world that they have captivated their music with. One Direction have really made me smile ever since I got to know who they really were through their music, and I know that in the future they will become bigger than anything music has ever seen, and as a directioner, that makes me proud. I believe that I should win these tickets because I have been a true fan since the beginning of their career and before they ever reached their height of fame. Like any other fan, I watch their videos all the time and listen non stop to their music. One Direction really means everything to me, and without a doubt, they light up my world like nobody else. Thank you, tickifieds for this amazing opportunity, and I hope you see that winning these tickets would make my year.

I deserve to win these tickets because I am a huge, HUGE Directioner. I would love to see One Direction in concert, because it would be a great once in a lifetime experience, especially when they tickets are so expensive. I would absolutely love to hear those British and Irish accents live in concert and let my heart melt as I hear there music.

Re: Stubhub Buying Links From ESPN?

studiumcirclus — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 03:45:46 -0000

Usually speaking paid links are discounted, but not the entire backlink profile. Have you considered that even with their paid links discounted these companies may have millions of organic links stacked on top? The removal of value from their paid links may not even affect them. Without digging deeper, I can't really see any evidence from this article that the rules are any different for ESPN/Stubhub as they are for anyone else.

Re: Stubhub Buying Links From ESPN?

Erik Dafforn — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:47:07 -0000

One question to consider here is whether Google views the HREF value as it's written in the ESPN code, or whether it is appending the gcid value to the URL when determining the destination URL. Five years ago, it would be a foregone conclusion that Google would NOT take the JS code into consideration. But over the last few years, that's become less clear (especially if you look at the crawl errors in your Webmaster Tools area to see some of the ways Google will create URLs to crawl based on JS code structures). If you click over to the StubHub page, you (as a user, assuming that JavaScript is enabled in your browser) will go to a URL with the gcid value appended to it. The important thing here is that StubHub HAS excluded all URLs that contain "gcid" via its robots.txt file. And exclusion of destination URLs via robots.txt is just as valid a way of excluding paid links as the "nofollow" attribute.

To add another twist, looking closely at the StubHub robots.txt, it looks like they may need to change the line from
Disallow: /?gcid
to
Disallow: /*?gcid

to catch all of those and exclude them properly. But IMO it looks like they've tried to account for it. What is unclear is exactly how Google is parsing those URLs. StubHub may technically be in the wrong here from a crawler perspective, but I think it's premature to say that StubHub is openly flaunting its disregard of a Google rule for its own gain.

Not trolling, just apparently an idiot when it comes to SEO. Appreciate the comments - all I was looking to get is some explanation as to how ESPN could place followed links when it is clear Stubhub is advertising. Even after your explaination it still seems like a gray area to me...

What is the difference between a "business development deal" involving followed links and someone simply selling/buying a link on any website? Both involving exchanging money for referral traffic and a backlink to help increase their search visibility. Any link worth paying for would be from a credible or authority site - why wouldn't those links also signify "trust"? Any site with enough link juice to pass likely wouldn't link to a shady site (e.g. porn or gambling) that wouldn't benefit their users. To me it seems like the only difference is the term used. So what you are saying is that you can essentially buy links all you want if its considered a "business" deal, correct? Kinda like some of the sitewide SeatGeek links on some high profile sports sites. I assume some are business deals while others are not since some are followed while others aren't?

Not trying to be a snitch or anything but I have spent countless hours trying to figure out why Google has devalued my site. I've tried to find and clean up any links that may be viewed as paid or sponsored and I was pretty shocked to see the Stubhub-ESPN link scheme.

Chad Burgess — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:41:26 -0000

You're intentionally trolling right? Being in the industry, I can confirm this is a well publicized partnership. Also, SEO snitching is frowned upon...especially when you get it wrong.

You're sort of missing the fact that someone landing a business development deal with ESPN speaks volumes to the credibility or "authority" [1] of that site - in this case StubHub - and is completely different than someone "buying links". Even though the links aren't editorial or organic, it stills signifies trust and in such business partnerships GOOG doesn't/shouldn't have the power IMO to say that you have to impact your UI with a "sponsored link" notification, because that's not actually what is going on, and hurts the user experience. You know how Google loves users...
Also, it's pretty easy for Google to see sitewide links on the same part of the page on every templated version of said page and realize something more is going on than just an editorial link.

Anyway I let myself get trolled so no one else has to hopefully. Peace.

1. Obviously you can't just have your whole backlink profile from BD deals but it's a nice addition

EDIT: disclaimer or whatever, I work and do SEO for SeatGeek.com

This is common practice as I have noticed for a long time now. Buying links, friends with benefits or whatever you call it, it affects the site ranking unnaturally because there is money involved not matter how you slice it. Comeon, Matt Cutts knows this is but a microcosm of a bigger problem I suspect may be changing with the upcoming update. If not, more shame on Google for looking the other way while crimes are being committed against the corporate citizens of our/Google's (un)fair world.

Re: Stubhub Buying Links From ESPN?

Gary Tickifieds — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 18:38:03 -0000

I guess I am confused as to what a paid link is then. Surely, ESPN is getting well compensated for slathering their site with Stubhub links and the only reason not to add the 'nofollow' tag would be to manipulate the search engines.

Re: Stubhub Buying Links From ESPN?

Cory Howell — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 17:59:56 -0000

I'm sure ESPN & StubHub have a business relationship that provides the former w/ a commission on any sales. This is not a paid link as you've classified it IMHO. It sucks because it's a competitor, but they're large enough to make partnerships w/ ESPN vs. paying for a link.
