TheRealTraffic.com - Hall of Shame Award

Today while approving new comments and weeding out the spam that gets through, I began reading a comment that first appears like a long thought, but as I start reading, I realize someone was trying to advertise their services by way of blog comment spam. This was their pitch:

Hall of Shame - TheRealTraffic.com - Spammer

So lets spam a link building network with a comment spam saying they’re the “BEST SEO” and their specialty is “link building“. HAAA! I would suggest that these guys aren’t all that great at what they do since they are resorting to blog spam to promote themselves. I would never resort to spamming blogs in our own market, especially trying to steal customers.

As I began typing this, I wanted to visit their site to gather any info that would be pertinent in my Hall of Shame post. I was surprised with a forced chat by someone, which I’m guessing is the only person behind this site, and he calls himself “Expert“. It asked me for a name and I entered “Joe” just to see if someone was there. I asked many questions and figured I would share the conversation. I put it into PDF format rather than posting it. Notice the generic weather talk:

TheRealTraffic.com - Chat Conversation

Welcome to the Hall of Shame, “Expert”.

Bwahahahaha! That poor guy is probably already trying to figure out what he’s going to spend his $200 fee on.

“Blog commenting, Forum Commenting” should be “Blog spamming, Forum spamming”.

So much for white hat :-)

I saw $595 a month with no real explanation of what you get. Plus, it’s all India-based.

Made in the USA all the way, baby!

Wow they do blog / forum commenting. I would love them to comment on my blogs so I can hit “DELETE”

Plus myspace? What do they actually do on myspace? Spam people? It all seems like a scam service.

80 hours of man power service for only a couple of hundred dollars? Geez you serious? Experts charge $100 per hour and these experts are only charging a few dollars. It all sounds great but at the end of the day you have to pay for results and not for the amount of hours.

Good Luck to whom ever uses the service.

$200 in india is probably a HUGE amount of money. Still, not very expert like if you ask me.
