Ok it’s been a good while since there was any numpty-bashing here but a new target has loomed large on the radar over the last few weeks. Introducing ABC Spammings
We, like most SEOs or webmasters with any clue, monitor Google alerts on certain terms or words we’re interested in, and it’s not until you do, that you realise the volume of content theft that just goes on blatantly, and constantly.
In the last few weeks we’ve started seeing lots of our content snippets turning up in Google alerts that look like this.
When you click the link you though, you get a HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden error.
..hmm.. cloaking maybe? 
..After about ten of these, on such delightfully spammy .info URLs as:
http://my-internetmarketingbusiness-guides.info/seo-company-spain
http://ineedtomakemoneyonline.the-internetmarketingpricing-hub.info/superior-search-engine-optimisation
..We got curious enough to do a site: search and look in the cache. – Nasty spammy auto-generated nonsense ripping text from our site and plenty of others besides. Now as yet none of this is uncommon, spammers do this all the time, but what is uncommon is that most of said spammers don’t register their spam domains under their “real” business domain, however this one…
..looks like they might have..
A quick visit to their site shows that there’s not much doubt it’s them, because their “SEO services” seem to consist solely of building blog and forum link “link networks” (Spam) for clients.
This example from the front of their site
..is identical in style and nonsense as the offending cache page above.
..and despite repeated emails and attempted contact through their contact form ABC Spammings are are completely ignoring us, and so using the power of SEO we’re now going to make sure that they, and any potential customers they might have, can’t ignore us much longer.
SO ABC RANKINGS – what you do is your choice, even though you are building and selling utter spam networks of the lowest quality, that’s your call, what is unacceptable however is that you turn your automated content spinners loose on sites who care about their online reputation and pollute our name in your filth.
What if one of our customers should chance upon it and think its anything to do with us?
This blog post is now going to be promoted until there’s a big long line of people laughing at your nonsense, and only when every mention of us, any of our content, or any other of the SEO sites you’ve ripped in fact is gone, might we remove it from right underneath you for your own name.
If any potential customers of ABC Rankings should read this, we would advise you to think VERY carefully before getting involved in this type of nonsense, you might well end up ruining your sites chances of ever ranking well.
Our advice? … STEER WELL CLEAR OF THESE JOKERS.
Have a good day now
