Quixtar and Google-Bombing


Quixtar and Google-Bombing 04/07/2005 09:28 AM

Quixtar Blog: Quixtar Admits Google Bombing: Quixtar, a subsidiary of Amway, is apparently celebrating a coordinated Google-bombing and search engine spamming campaign. One of their people — some guy named Greg Duncan — boasted about it on stage in front of thousands of people. Probably not wise.

Quixtar is waging an aggressive Google Bombing campaign in an attempt to manipulate search engine results. The primary component of the "Quixtar Web Initiative" is specifically designed to exploit blogs in an unprecedented manner.

Unlike businesses that utilize a few blogs to communicate with employees, associates and customers [...], Quixtar has hired "geekoids" to manufacture hundreds of blogs designed to confuse information seekers.

(Ironic twist: the link above is to what appears to be an anti-Amway and anti-Quixtar site. Check the Google ads. They're for products and services to help you become a better Amway rep.)

The New European Football Champion Will Be Greece Or Portugal: Sunday's Euro 2004 match is the first final ever between two national teams who've never made a final before, after dispatching the biggest, richest European powers like England, Germany, Spain, Italy and France. Meanwhile, Maria Sharapova, a 17-year old Russian from Siberia has won Wimbledon, defeating the mighty Serena Williams. Perhaps size and money, despite the multi-million contracts, still aren't everything in sport. Or does it depend on the sport? [More inside.]

Baiting 419 Scammers For Sport


Baiting 419 Scammers For Sport 11/17/2003 04:17 AM
There have been an increasing number of "filler" stories from reporters who need something to write about and notice a 419 scam email in their inbox and decide to write the scammer back. Either these reporters don't realize that this article has been written 100 times before, or they just don't care. However, a group of other folks have decided that instead of using the experience to write up an article, they're going to do their best to publicly humiliate 419 scammers. It's turned into something of a sport for many - who create elaborate personas and stories in order to scam the 419ers themselves. Of course, they're trying to trick them out of their dignity, rather than their money.
