SP@M!!

In the past while, we've seen a plethora of "please review my site" requests followed by;
"blah-blah-keyphrase-stuffing-paragraph or twelve".

Incredibly, this spurs a new member to sign up only to reply to the single thread. The reply is certainly challenging and the poster possesses an uncanny familiarity with the site and content in question, repeatedly using the same keywords and phrases. It's either that or some bitter argument ensues which is immediately assuaged by the company President or some Nobel prize-winning industry expert.

Long-time, reputable members offer their time to review these sites, only to have their advice and opinions ignored. It stands to reason in that, the sole point of the "review request" is to generate buzz, traffic and a few IBL's.

I guess this is to be expected if Web Marketers are being penalized for buying links.

Meanwhile, if as a member you come across anything that resembles what I've outlined, let a Moderator know ASAP.

Kudos to Ctabuk and the rest of the mods who've been putting the Kibosh on these jokers.

Thanks for "keeping it real"!

I too agree with this, most of the time the newly joined members take the chance to promote their site placing the link in review section and we go on responding but it seems harder to identify them whether they're looking review in real? or or just spamming the forum.
