		<description>I have no idea why anyone would want to have something to do with Widecircles&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you have done some work for them, I am sorry but I am not going to help you - you should have researched them before undertaking any of their &quot;jobs&quot;</description>

		<description>These guys have been spamming my forum for the last couple months. I contacted them today and got this email back. 

&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Please understand that we do not spam anyone. We have over 25,000+ people we 
work with. We do not know which sites they visit and where they post. They 
were supposed to be following rules and not abusing our system. If you tell 
me the ip address and URL, then I can try to ban them from the program.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

On their site is says   

&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; 1.  Advertiser Creates Message Content Describing Their Product/Service
   2. Message Content Gets Approved By Our QA Department
   3. Multiple Publishers Log-In And Review Created Message Content
   4. Publishers Recieve Highly Ranked, Visited and Relevant Forum, Blog, Wiki and Other Types Of Websites
   5. Publishers Check The Rules Of Each Website And Deliver The Message Content Using Our Indirect Social Signature Posting Approach ( or Regular Posting Approach For Wiki/Classified Types Of Websites )
   6. Content That Is Delivered Includes The Link To Product/Service As Specified By The Advertiser&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Maybe I am missing something but it looks like they lie as well as they spam.</description>

		<description>Yeah just send me an email and I will set it up for you.

If there is some domain that is not on PHSDL but it is a bad one, I will add it to the list.

So you can update me from time to time with new Spam domains, and we will populate the list with more bad ones.</description>

		<description>Thanks Igor, I would love to give it a try. So, should I email my request to admin [at] phsdl [dot] net or you can mail it to me. ;) admin [at] JunkieYard [dot] Com
And another Q. Can it also block the auto link submitter for phpLD? I hate those porn bots. :-/ Thanks again.</description>

		<description>Well let me know if you want to give it a try. You can actually use both PHSDL and Karma at the same time.

It is not difficult to install. You just need to add a bit of code to your wp-comments-post.php file.

I do advise you to back up all your WP files and a database before you attempt to modify the code. It is always good to be safe.

Let me know if you want to try it out.</description>

		<description>I have a do follow WordPress blog and I&#039;m using Dave Spam Karma 2 to filter out spam but sometimes the spam bots manage to slip through somehow. Maybe I&#039;ll try that anti-Spam PHSDL filter of yours for a change. btw, I&#039;m not a tech savvy. :D</description>

		<description>To Igor, &quot;content is king&quot; is not accurate, read this article to find out why http://www.v7n.com/pagerank-wins.php

PageRank does matter. In fact, anchor text and inbound links is 95% of effective search engine optimization. Anyone who tells you otherwise does not practice real search engine optimization. Real search engine optimization focuses on link acquisition. Content is second to links.

To Andy, you can always find out the source by simply contacting advertiser, maybe sometimes they won&#039;t tell you who the uplink is but in most cases they are. FTC is not concerned with this stuff, there are so many pay per post blogs out there, you even backed one yourself before, payperpost.com. 

They only introduced disclaimers recently, but there is so many which do not have disclaimers, I could name a ton, but I won&#039;t, you can look them up, pay per post model has been around for a while now and people haven&#039;t been using disclaimers of any kind. They know google and other search engines watch disclaimers.

In my opinion there is nothing wrong with posting quality comments on some blogs, and Ill give dofollow for this as long as the content is related to the discussion. As for the service, I haven&#039;t used it myself, but I heard lot of buzz from people who used it to build good SERP&#039;s in combination with solid content writing.

Just my 2 cents.


Cheers.</description>
