I'm amused by some of the SEO spam that hits this forum daily...

As a moderator, I've seen some of the stuff that SEO/commercial spammers try to sell here on the forums. Some are pretty typical and I see all the time, like SEO spam sites, fashion, electronics and software, pharmaceutical drugs, and essay-writing services. But some of the stuff I've seen seem pretty bizarre. Here's some of the unusual ones I've seen during my time as a moderator.

- flower shop directory in Malaysia
- trips to the dentist
- coupons
- vaporizer
- freeware
- World of Warcraft gold
- marriage-themed flip flops
- cake recipes
- puppies
- game walkthroughs
- fundraising
- Naruto fan site
- cleaning services in London
- Italian chat room
- spy cameras

Feel free to share some of the unusual stuff SEO/commercial spammers try to peddle off (either in Scratch, or elsewhere). Or feel free to tell your silly commercial spammer stories.  smile

SEO?

Never mind, anyway, I've seen some amusing stuff that spammers try to advertise.

-A "reading out loud for little children" of the Hunger Games.
-5Chan(some sort of parody, I think)
-Hatebook
-A cut-off [you know what]

Error:Signature could not load. Please wait for an indefinite amount of time, until you realize you're gullible and go off to look for another potentially interesting signature to stare at.

That makes sense. Most freeware stuff has advertisements on it which the company can profit from.

Yeah, it seems to pop up everywhere. It just seems like a really strange thing to peddle, though.  hmm

...Okay, I just googled what a vaporizer is, I lol'd.

Yeah, that one probably tops the list of commercial spam I've seen.  lol

Wow. World of warcraft gold.

That's illegal. Call the cops on any person you see do that.That isn't a joke.

Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

I don't think it's illegal, I think it's just against Blizzard's policies.

And Cheddargirl, next time you encounter some of this, let me examine the offers carefully before zapping it. I've been looking for marriage-themed flip-flops for years!  lol
