888.com aka Cassava Enterprises aka CON

Personally I am very upset at the sudden appearance of all that spamdexing.

888 has set up an address where complaints can be filed and some of them have been addressed very nicely.

That caused me to move them from being blacklisted to being on probation.

Now this.

Yup all that 888 spam is rather hard to miss and we don’t really need anyone to post here (or anywhere else) to tell people that 888 is spaming again, everyone can see it very well all by themselves, just do a few searches in google for casino keywords.

They have all new spam doorway templates, but they are using the same old spam methods.

Well maybe this reporting address 888 has put up will work, but I am not holding my breath.

Dominique, would you please post the address or PM it to me, thanks.

Here it is:

reportspam@888.com

I'm sure I'm a little off the wall here, or is Vegas Red jumping on the bandwagon of 888.com's spam by offering this $888 bonus scheme in their spam?

Or by some far chance is Vegas Red affiliated with 888?

 

[dominique]

No affiliation, but yes, definitely the same spamming.

This crap xxxhttp://bloghof.net/pub/blogHof/casino/casino-10.html is currently polluting google for all gambling related terms.

bloghof.net is also promoting the selling of mobile ringtones.

Amazing, golden palace is the top of the list on the redirect; not 888

It changes. Mansion have been listed on there as well. But doesn't appear to be affiliate links from what i can see. Looks like it is redirecting to some PPC site instead. Hence the lack of aff tags.

I think Dom has the right idea here - use that complaints address 888.com negotiators made available to The Professor....and it may be an idea to ensure that The Prof knows about this latest complaint, too. He seems to be working as closely as any affiliate with the management people at 888.com in trying to put a stop to this black hat stuff.

 

[lots0]

No sense in reporting to 888, there are no affiliate tags, so no way to point to any one affiliate.

888 is just going to tell you there is nothing they can do, its not one of 888s affiliates, as there is no affiliate tag.

So trying to ‘work’ with the management of 888 on this issue is wasted effort.

BTW, Dominique, is the one that brought affiliates together and organized the 'resistance' to 888 the last time, with some help from a few others.

Big hat tip to Dom.:notworthy

Yup they are using javascript cloaking. For some uninteresting reading of repetitive key words just view any of the pages of this site with javascript turned off in your browser.

Trip down memory lane

 

[mrracetrack]

Reading this thread from 2006 is yet another reminder of what a "pleasant" person Lou is...

LotsO... did you ever get "served papers" as Lou implied??

Ya a trip down memory lane...

No, Lou nor his lawyers ever served me with anything but a bad attitude.

However,
Lou did call my local sheriff's office to inform my local law enforcement that I was running an illegal gambling operation from my home (I wasn't).

Funny thing, a close relative of mine is the Sheriff and several Deputies are relatives of mine as well... They though Lou calling to 'inform' on me was about as funny it got... My family still teases me about him calling.

It was this incident that caused me to personally believe that Lou Fabiano was about as unethical as a person could get.

<added - after I reread this thread>
Lou also spent a couple of bucks and ran one of those background checks on me (using the info I signed up at CAP with), then he published my name and address and some other personal information about me here and at CAP.

Lou also did to me on the CAP forum back then like he has done to so many after, he changed my avatar at CAP to something stupid and he edited/deleted some of my posts at the CAP Forum to make me look bad after he banned me.

And he was not banned from here for doing this ??

Did I miss something here or what ??

I asked Spear to remove my personal info that Lou posted here and he did within a very short time. I think Dom had a hand in removing the worst stuff about me from the CAP forum.

I never expected Bryan to ban Lou for being a big friggin jerk...
Besides banning Lou at that time would have caused another "portal war" and to be honest no one wanted that over him just being a major jerk to little ole me.

But now with all the new revelations about Lou selling player data bases, secretly running/owning poker rooms and casinos, not paying affiliates, the only CAP casino 'certification' criteria being money paid to CAP and all the rest... Maybe it would not be so much a portal war now as it would be more like putting out the trash.
