Does anyone else expect to see a surge in YA spam / self promotion in the next weeks?

The links are no-followed, so there's no link juice being passed. And no, I don't expect the spam/garbage problem on Yahoo Answers to get any worse simply due to the sessions at SES this week. I didn't attend any of the SMO sessions this time, but I know the speakers and can't imagine any of them suggesting social media spamming as an effective tactic.

I often refer to YA as an effective marketing tool for businesses or individuals whose expertise is the primary selling point, but I'd never suggest anything but becoming a
valued resource here (and on other sites).
