"A Pinterest Spammer Tells All"

Just shows you how little notice Pinterest took about the bots. It said he had thousands of botted accounts yet they deleted one. :D
 
I didnt see any method revealed in the article, spam exists since many years, it's not new.

The only bad thing I see in this article is that it puts light on BHW, what is terrible because it will be more spied now...
 
People just don't know any better. A large majority don't know what is SPAM..everything marketing related is spam to them. Let's just forgive and go on with our lives :)
 
Ask The Spammer to show us a screen shot or else it didn't happen
 
I decided that I wanted to raise my blood pressure and get myself irritated so I did a google search on myself. I found a product on Amazon through google's search results that I removed from Amazon in 2007. The product page is still there with my store name on it and it says "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." I deleted that product FIVE YEARS AGO and I left Amazon two years ago. I went all the way to the top last time and they refused to take my pages down, saying that they had no way to do it. If I don't get a lawyer, it's going to stay that way. I feel like kicking something. And we're the bad black hatters. Yeah right.
 
It was probably gimme4free that did the interview and then mentioned that they sold bots here to boost sales.

Just a thought.

This is probably true. Obviously this guy would not give this interview just to brag; he was marketing something. If you read between the lines it becomes painfully clear what is being marketed: Gimme4free's expensive bots. The perfect press release.
 
RedRubies, I'm the reporter who interviewed Steve. I don't usually read these forums, so I didn't see this until somebody sent a link to me. Let me know what I need to do to prove my identity.

This is really shocking, and I'd love to write about this. I was wondering if you could email me some examples of this happening? The forum isn't letting me post my email yet, so I'll try again a little later.

I'll help you under one condition. That you do not mention blackhatworld.com anywhere in your article. We are not all the same and it is insulting to lump us all into one category and make us all look bad.
 
Wonder how long until his Amazon ID gets banned. What a dumbass move showing the whole world that.

He could probably have hit some pretty good numbers if he just kept quiet for a while :rolleyes:

I have a few sites doing $1000/day right now and I would NOT tell anyone about them or how they earn.

$1000 a day per site? Doing site flipping? Thats pretty good. Is that to what you're referring to? Or are you talking about other IM ventures that you're doing?
 
I dont know how things are rolling on your end Guys, but today afternoon, i realized that 99.99% of Spammers Accounts are Gone, all amazon's link's are telling "Pin Not Found ..." and i think Robots are Gone too, cause i didnt see any running? It was too Good to be for Long Time, a Free Gold Mine :)

Come on guys, this is a war between copyright infringement and spam. SPAM MUST WIN THIS!
 
That guy is so full of shit...

Pinterest does not convert well on amazon. Anyone that has tried it would know.

Just look at the images of the products being pinned... they look nothing like what amazon carries.

Freakin liar.....
I am tempted to cookie stuff the shit out of his affiliate link to get his amazon banned....
but then it would not hurt him... because he is not making any money anyways..... not from pinterest and amazon.

You've put it very nicely. If it was working for him, would he ever have come in the open about it? And how did this blogger get hold of this guy to interview him? Seems too fishy...

I skepticism it. They may have got settled your pet a couple of hundred or so -- but nowhere next to plenty of to pay for his "$1000 a day". Almost certainly a totally youngster wanting a pride increase.
 
If you have something unique and geared toward women, I think Pinterest is still just fine. Also, it doesn't convert _great_ on Amazon, but it converts just as well as anything else for Kindle eBooks... and there are tons of Kindle people on Pinterest.
