Do you realize that you just gave them all 263 backlinks by posting their URLs in this forum? (Before Jill edited them all out.)

I can't believe it got past the moderators. This has all the ear marks of link spamming.

Toadally - just ignore it. And I doubt you'll ever see a single link from it!

We already had a thread on this email (actually, on their follow-up email -- watch for it) that I started a few weeks ago. If I can summarize it, there were three basic ideas as to how to react:

1. delete, delete, delete
2. report to Google et al that they are creating mass duplicate pages against the Google terms of service
3. Tar and feather them and run them through the Pentagon shredding machine.

You can be sure that 1. and 2. have been done. Anybody on this list do 3. yet?
