Is this guy scamming traffic from you?

[Dzinerbear]

Check this guy out:

http://(remove everything in these brackets)boysfirsttime.mivip.com/mancheck/

If you want to see if your site is getting ripped off for traffic just replace the /mancheck/ with your site name.

And Lee, notice on this MANcheck page how he's linked to the GWW "MANcheck hires Michael Kealy" announcement ... , people are funny.

Thanks to Holly from NakedSword for bringing this one to my attention.

Cheers

What the hell is that all about?

I'm not sure if your question is serious or not, I'll assume it is and fill you in.

This is a fairly common tactic amongst short-sighted people who try to scam search engine traffic from websites that are popular or doing well.

He's optimized this particular page for the words "mancheck access." Most of the text on the page is just garbage or filler text that meets Google's preferred criteria of 250 words per page. The garbage text doesn't take away from the important keywords on the page, which are "mancheck access."

He creates a number of links on the page to other things about MANcheck, like the press release in GWW's announcement section and that helps boost his page even more. And it all seems to have worked because he ranks in about third position for "mancheck access" and in fact, even ranks above MANcheck's own site. And his site is even ahead of the press release page in GWW announcing my start of employment with MANcheck. So go figure.

But guess what? A quick search using the keyword tools reveals that no one is searching for "mancheck access."

Eventually Google's algorithms or abuse police will take care of him, at which time, he'll switch domains and start the process all over again. But in the meantime, if he does this with enough sites, he's hoping that he'll get high enough in rankings that he'll get some traffic.

There's not a lot you go can do about these guys. You can complain to Google, but whether they actually do anything ... who knows. You can make a note of his referral code and complain to all of his sponsors. Some may do something, others, in the past, have said things like: these matters aren't our affair. It's all a part of the wonderful business in which we find ourselves.

Sounds like a lotta work to me when you know you are going to eventually get busted and have to start the process all over again?? Wouldn't it be easier just to do things right and hold your traffic long term??

I always find those site's from adrevservice and Home Sex Network site that use my name in them.

It's so frustrating.
