ALERT: What Drives These Faceless Webmasters?

So far I have been explaining what happens to these faceless google frauders, but lets dig a little deeper. What makes these webmasters do what they do? It’s my mission to ALERT you when I see web sites and people behaving very, very badly.

First let’s imagine what kind of person would try to manipulate Google’s system. Since Google does not specifically say how they rank pages, and further more, because Google’s spiders may only visit a webpage only once or twice a month. They attempt the site fraud and then wait. This is an enormous time investment.

Another quality of these Google defrauders might be that they are bright. They would have to be to out think Google’s best think tanks. I am sure there are many other qualities of these webmasters, but for this example, these two points are the only ones we need. Money motivated and bright.

The way I see it is that any webmaster of this caliber would only become an expert in defrauding Google if there was serious money behind it. If there wasn’t serious money behind it, these people would spend their time chasing another venture that could pay as well.

So this leads me to believe this type of person would only be hired or do something like this if he was either …

A) Trying to sell a product and using a search engine to find customers

B) Bashing other products or services to boost image of another brand, but in order for him to bash a product or service and for his webpage to actually stand out, he would have to write from a ‘concerned citizen’ standpoint and in actuality have a hidden agenda of his own.

C) Or even steal personal information

I have seen countless examples of both all over the internet. It’s funny how so many people believe what they read just because it is written on the web. And they never guess there is a reason for it all.

A google example of google fraud and someone who clearly appears to be carrying out a hidden agenda is at “Lets Get the Word Out”. I say, Let’ Get The Word Out About what this site is doing to Google’s reputation.

Fraud Example: Key Word Stuffing Let’s Get The Word Out

Fraud Example: Link Farm Let’s Get The Word Out

Fraud Example: Scraping content: Let’s Get The Word Out

The intent is to manipulate the search process when innocent and interested people are attempting to find accurate information. They are using deception, bluff, scam, dirty tricks, misdirection and cheating. These actions defraud the public and Google. And this is the exact reason for this site.
