SEO Company – Dicks of the Highest Calibre

By Rishi | February 5, 2010

My blog, Explicitly.me is less than a month old.  Its well known amongst my twitter following, but apart from a couple of posts going hot on sphinn, it isnt that popular outside my circle yet. In fact i put it together just for people I know, rather than to sell anything, or whatever rational reasons one might have for setting up a blog. I actually resisted for a while, and was quite happy Guest Posting whenever the mood struck me, after all, I have open invitations to blog on a large number of well know SEO sites.

So I hope you understand my surprise when I saw:

SEO Spammer

I am not a novice, I did expect comment spam. But for some reason, this particular instance really irritated the fuck out of me. So I embarked on a sordid journey, which will be told in a series of images. Sit back and enjoy the Bullshit Show:

Update: It seems that the company I am talking about has ALSO stolen content from Protocol 80′s Website. I can confirm that this post does NOT refer to Protocol 80.

So you get the idea? For fucks sake. If you are determined to spam, do it with some style. And stay the hell away from SEO blogs – or get called out. And the icing on the cake? Check out a screen grab of a FAQ on the companies website:

My good friend Edward actually has a pretty good list of these Idiot SEOs. Check it out for shits and giggles.

    It's amateur hour on the SEO Douchebaggary Variety Show. If not for the damage bullshit like this does to the entire industry, it would just be hilarious. It's no wonder so many people think the whole lot of us are snake oil asshats.

    I'd like to kick this fucktard in the shins. Who's with me??

    So both protocol 80 and VastVision have word-for-word the same FAQ piece about black hat. Did one steal from the other, or are they the same company?

    First, I would like to say that we are not “SEO Company” and we do not link spam. We do get the same spam comments on our blog even after adding “nofollow”. We have finally eliminated comments all together, although there are still many comments that need deleted.

    @Shane

    VastVision has taken the content from our site and I assure you we are not the same company.

    Hi shane – I have updated the post to take off any blame from Protocol 80 – I wasnt talking about them.

    Just saw a similar fake comment on an old post on Searchcowboys – http://www.searchcowboys.com/guestposts/660

    That's why filtering HTML and nofollowing links in comments pays off. Bloody amateurs.

    I've got a dead blog (it only exists on an IP address – otherwise gone) – and it garners about a dozen spam comments a day. I think a lot of them are just trying to get you to accept their first innocuous comment. Then, if your wordpress blog has the default settings for “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” their spam is in like Flynn.

    Social Media exploitation an old tactic using headers of pages etc to dominate rankings. Google's onto this stuff, and guys like this are going to get the backhand.
