Spammer Outed
Thread of the day is at Digital Point today. A user known as “guru-seo” started a thread about how well his new site ranked. At first; the site was just an obvious Bush hater site (not that I care, really, but its a thinly veiled attempt to promote it). I chime in on that fact at about the 5th post. Two posters before me already pointed out that the site only ranks well because the keyword isn’t even targeted (ie. no one ever searches for the terms used, so who cares if its #1).
I realize that the content is ripped from a site his site links to; but can’t verify it so its not pursued by me. But we’ll get back to this. When another user, mvandemar (owner of this useful tool), points it out and emails the copyright holder, “guru-seo” apparently claims that he owns plinko.com (post #28). After being asked several times if he ripped content from plinko’s site; he ignores us. An obvious admission of guilt - in my eyes - at least.
For posterity (in case the site is ever removed), here is a screen shot of “guru-seo”’s site.
And here is a link to the original site for comparison. Tex stolen. Check. Images stolen. Check. Claiming to be the site owner. Check. Houston, we have a problem.
