Where's CCarter?



This isn't directed at you personally, although it may be applicable, but people are so fucking dumb. Seriously, people just buy in, whether it's a politician, or a religious leader, or a guy who has a PhD without actually considering if what they are being told is congruent with what they were told 10 mins ago.

FFS Be a skeptic. Think for yourself. Question everything.

^^^ Totally agree with you there.

I trust noone and suspect everyone until I'm damn well certain I do otherwise.

If you don't ask why and just follow, you will never understand anything in life. Dig deep, get to the root.

I have done my share of shady stuff, but I always ran it to parasites. Anyone who buys these links for client sites is an idiot.

Me too, but some don't. Maybe even some that didn't like CC's Links. Only a fool would risk fucking a clients site with shady links..
 
Wait, so the links he was selling didn't send you any additional traffic? Was it meant to make you depend on Google for Traffic. Like how the peasants do.

Gah.. Me needs some of these links. BRB adding him on Skype :P
 
If you didn't realise these were hacked links from the sales thread more fool you. I personally don't care what he was selling. When you see some of the shit other vendors are selling, that shit should be a criminal offence. I didn't buy though so have no interest in the debate. I do like ccarters posts, regardless of his motives. There does appear to be a small group of members here hating and others conspiring to silence other members which I do not like.
 
I noticed since 2 years, that some group of hackers was building up big networks of hacked sites for backlinks. Not in the old style, where the site was content wise overtaken. By inserting in the upper content part links & keys for medicals or porn. This time they added some hidden link blocks and nothing more. And they tried to update that block. MY first thought was sape and russians but there was a big turkish group too.

They are mainly going for wordpress and joomla sites using outdated installations or bad addons. Because joomla is used massiv by 3rd world authorities and universities you can get tons of high PR .gov and .edu links in that way.

It should be clear that, like cookie stuffing, this is a real crime. At last in the US you will be handled as real criminal in that business. Its only a matter of time until the FBI is doing its homework here too. Its to much money in to ignore it.
 
Imagine if those were your own sites :rolleyes:

I have my own sites too. The point here is that there's more than one way to skin a cat. I'll learn other methods in time. Building a site is a lot more simple than the building the business behind it. Doing the marketing for a 8 figure revenue business is also easier than creating that business, no?

I know everyone on here is a baller making millions, but I didn't start with the capital or experience to make my own £xx,xxx a month autopilot sites.

The Russians have been doing this for more than 6 years.

As crime, this sort of thing is small time. What's really going to hurt is when Google notices. And they do notice.
 
I have a much lower opinion of myself than you do. I stopped posting for nearly 3 months and like, 5 people noticed.

The truth is, people will always follow the guy who makes the most noise. CC knew exactly what he was doing, and I suspect he will return and carry on, and if there was any harm, all will be forgiven.

Guys like Grindstone and I have deliberately avoided developing cults of personality because we're actually really fucking boring people, and we have a hard time stomaching our own marketing. We couldn't believe any hype we tried to generate for ourselves. Some guys have stronger stomachs.

Truth has been spoken here.
 
The fact this thread has 138 replies in under 2 days seems like a good bit of marketing to me...
