Scribd - Not the power linking channel I was hoping for…
I have to recant my last post and remove Scribd.com from my top 5 list of content creation and syndication sites - Ugh! Scribd just recently publicly affirmed their policy of not allowing you to have any links within your published documents. It appears in their fine print that they have never allowed any sort of deep-linking within their documents and affirmed this in a letter I came across in this blog post. Good Lesson - always important to read the fine print to ensure you are adhering to the Terms of Service - Live and Learn! Nonethless, Scribd is still a great channel for connecting with your target audience and sharing and colloborating on industry specific topics.

We will be reenabling links in our Flash viewer shortly.
Readers will be able to click through to sites, but since search engines do not index Flash, users will not be able to use Scribd for SEO activity.
