Coining the term 'circle jerk'

    I think, in marketting, a circle jerk should refer to taking several sites, and pointing each one to one other, thus creating a circle. It would be used to boost PR and traffic.

    Maybe we could all start using this term?

    If I'm not mistaken, doesn't it already have a meaning. A rather strange one at that?

    Yeah just look it up on urban dictionary. I don't think you should coin the phrase because if someone asks me how do you get all of your websites up and going so fast and bringing each other traffic I dont want to be like oh I have a circle jerk going...people might look at you strange

    You can't coin a phrase that already has a very different meaning. Thats like saying "when a lot of people go to your website, thats a Gang Rape"

    Nah, don't coin it 'circle jerk'.
    How about saying, "Come look at my group of websites, they're frosting a cookie"
