Jackpot Factory's Inspirational Stories

[GrandMaster]

This is the contents of his personal page that is still up. He uses the same technique in it. He obviously targeted these keywords in the articles even though he denies it and even if he didn't write many of them it was probably his idea to have all the terms involved in the articles (the keywords don't necessarily have to be repeated more than once or twice).

I don't have any problem with him optimising his own website so that people searching for Boaz Sasson find him more easily. I do have a problem with casinos trying to optimize their websites for irrelevant keywords, which is a separate issue from the content of those articles. If I collect antique teddy bears and I search for teddy bears on the internet, then I want relevant results and not stupid stories about teddy bears happily playing blackjack at All Sluts casino. JF polluted the web with these stories and made it a less useful resource for all of us, probably with relatively little gain for themselves. It is similar to polluting the environment or to stealing traffic signs to sell them for scrap metal.

 

[spearmaster]

Well said, Grandmaster.

 

[sirius]

When I highlighted what he wrote on his webiste I meant to show that the casino articles were probably all his idea and maybe he wrote a lot of the articles himself.

As a caveman, i am deeply offended by the above comment. And dont say you didnt know there were still any of us around!
I will have the roast duck with the mango salsa please.

OMG, Paul--I nearly choked laughing at your post. Hysterical stuff.

For the non-US people, we have a television ad here for an insurance company featuring a couple of cavemen and a non-caveman eating at a fine dining establishment. Paul quoted a bit of this ad. Unless you've seen the ad, Paul's bit probably loses something, but for those of us who see the spot 20 times a day, well...

<Disclaimer> The views expressed are solely my own. I do not claim to represent any entity other than myself, especially not Jackpot Factory. Additionally, this monologue is limited by the nature of my pride and sundry legal considerations. </Disclaimer>

Glad to hear this!

<Dramatic rant> To begin with, this whole convoluted thread would photograph much like an online Transylvanian lynch mob.
Imagine a shrieking mass containing assorted webmasters/bonus-abusers and other furry creatures. These narrow-minded souls are ferociously forming impressions and fearlessly wielding incendiary laptops. </Dramatic rant>

We take it from which it comes. An individual that just admitted he was involved in such a harmful, greedy and selfish SEO campaign.

Among other things, my job consisted of managing content on JF sites. This content included short stories written by and for the clients target demographic. The content succeeded to both entertain and convert visitors. In other words, these stories were mostly written by women and aimed at pleasing other women.

This is complete crap and I hope you realize that. The SEO done here was absolutely targeted at ranking for keywords related to people doing searches for help with problems in our related industry. This was well targeted for someone that was greedy.

Our writers were encouraged to write the fluffy and amusing stories we knew our visitors enjoyed.

Only thing fluffy and amusing here is your lame attempt to get JF out of this hole they are in.

I came to rely on a robust method for checking and approving that content. This obviously failed.

The JF account was rather aggressive due the intensive nature of the competition in the wonderful world of online gaming.

You are talking to some experienced webmasters and online marketers. Do not underestimate the intelligence of the members here. We are competing in this exact same competitive environment for a living, and none of us have to apply techniques used by you. Not that it will work for SEO with regards to competitive keywords due to Latent Semantics. My main issue here is, how on earth can you work as content manager and take that responsibility, screw it up and then have the audacity to make as if the members of this forum are a bunch of vindictive idiots that are flaming a casino for no reason.

We are having a discussion here about a casino you seemingly single handedly managed screwed up! A casino BTW some of use supported whole heartedly. Learn from the masters like 32 Red, who manage to be very trusted and supported as well as have the same software as you! You screwed up!

Whether or not you are a real person remains to be seen. Although there are evidence on Google that you do exist and was employed as content manager. JF still caries responsibility and needs to come to the table on this issue. You are now in a position where you have no alliances and need to respond publicly about this issue.

 

[dominique]

Ok, lets put aside the moral aspect for a moment.

Let's get professional and talk SEO.

Your content is lousy from an SEO aspect. It consists of irelevant keywords, overuse of relevant keywords and fluff and little else.

This is what google itself has to say about the things in these stories:

Don't load pages with irrelevant words.

If a site doesn't meet our quality guidelines, it may be blocked from the index

This type of SEO will work in cheating your way to the top of an engine, but for a short time only.

It has no staying power.

A casino like the ones JF has wants to be in business for the long run. That is why they have not cheated players or affiliates or anyone I know of.

Now they put such trashy stuff on their sites, trashy enough from even an SEO perspective, to get the casino excluded from search results.

What sense does that make?

Additonally, this sort of nonsense hurts the image of the industry immensely. We really don't need that, we try to self police and keep things on the straight and narrow .

This sort of drivel is not what gets you good engine rankings and keeps you there.

Sites like CasinoMeister, GoneGambling and GamesandCasino have solid, good engine rankings.

Why? What is the difference?

They were built for the user, the player. They aim to give the visitor exactly what they came for. THAT is good, durable SEO. And in the end, that is what google rewards.

All the little SEO tricks like getting indexed under irrelevant keywords are bad for the site in the long run.

In SEO, what goes around, comes around.

So, this was not only a moral fiasko, the SEO itself was equally bad for a place that would like to be here for the long term.

JF should be glad this stuff came out before they suffered the consequences of bad SEO.

Ok, lets put aside the moral aspect for a moment.

Sorry Dom, but that's what this whole issue is about for me. Pretty hard for me to set it aside. As a business person, maybe you can overlook it. As a human being, I can't.

 

[dominique]

Pinababy, sorry, you missed the point of my post.

I was not discounting the moral problem, quite the opposite.

I was setting it aside to look at an additional problem with the writings of Boaz , since he adresses "other professionals".

By no means am I minimizing the ethical depravity of those writings.

Sorry Dom. Thanks for the clarification. That's what I get for doing three things at once.

As to Boaz addressing "other professionals", he's grouping himself into that category I would assume. Well Boaz, alot of descriptive terms come to mind to describe you, but professional would be about last on my list.

Explains?

Is this why 20+ different sites all full of this C*** had to be made up?

Once the engines ban one, another rises to take it's place.

Two weeks today since this started, and there is still loads of this stuff floating around. The infamous keno site is still up and running. Couple of excerpts.

I always felt like I really should have been making more efforts to get a job but the last three jobs I had been in were so boring, I did not think I could face it again. But what was I going to do? I mean I had to be responsible. I had a lot of bills to cover and I needed to treat my wife well; why should it just be her going out to work every day? One afternoon, as I was contemplating such things like this, I suddenly remembered my mate Jack who I drank a few pints with every Tuesday had bought the whole pub a round because of his wins on keno. Jeremy, mate, you have to try this keno. Keno is not like it used to be; I can tell you that. I never thought that I could make such a fortune just by selecting a few random numbers but that was what happened with keno. And he proceeded to prove his point by showing me his checj.

See how I can play keno day and night

I figured I had to give it a go. Jack said keno was a lot of fun too and I would never be bored (he knew that had been my main problem at work). I smiled and went off to play keno. I selected 12 numbers on my first keno game, all of them came up and I went out and bought my wife a beautiful ruby necklace! Now I realize that I can play keno day and night because it is a far better money maker than any job and I am guaranteed practically that I will never find it boring!


And this one is priceless, it actually advocates quitting your job to stay home and play keno.

Read about when I decided to download keno

I really wanted to quit my job already. I had been working as a manager in a supermarket for at least 12 years and while it was okay, the pay sucked. But how on earth (with my crazy schedule looking after a family) would I be able to quit it and get something else that paid? I started gambling a little bit. I did not think I would make all that much but I figured it could be fun. And it was. But then I decided to download keno as I had heard there was a great Microgaming casino on which it was really lucrative to download keno. So I checked it out and I did download keno and I was really happy I did.

Check out the bucks I made when I went to download keno!

Boy, there were real bucks to be made. If you decide to download keno and you do so at a Microgaming casino, then you can do really well. There was so much money to be made, between the payouts and bonuses. In fact, after just three weeks of playing this download keno version, I had more money than I needed to quit my job, which I did! So if you want to quit your job and make money at home in a fun way instead, download keno on this Microgaming casino today!


Surely two weeks time is enough to have ALL, and I mean ALL, of this crap taken down? And where is the JF General Manager? He's certainly not working on getting rid of this stuff. If he were, it would be gone. How hard is it to take a site offline? I bet if I go and check out that list of sites I posted quite a few pages back, that they are all up and running. Business as usual at Crackpot Factory.

This is from the online keno site. So if I'm reading this right, there could conceivably be thousands of links to this garbage all over the internet. And on any type of site. It certainly explains why they don't want to take these sites offline doesn't it? Seems they fully intend to get their money's worth.

 

[Pinababy69]

First one I searched, found this gem. It's probably been posted before, but bears repeating....as it is surely one of the most misleading.



Internet Casino Cure

Are you so tired of hanging around? Do you want more excitement in your life and don't know what to do? Why not solve all your woes in one full swoop? Yes, I have the cure - and it doesn't involve any pesky anti depressants or expensive getaways. Why not try an internet casino cure? Just 2 weeks at a good internet casino will cure you of your woes. Trust you me, this really works. Don't believe me? Well maybe this testimonial from Janice in San Diego, California will help convince you: "I was feeling so down. I didn't know what to do. Then I heard this commercial on TV for All Slots internet casino. They said they could cure my depression. I figured, what the hell, anything will be better than what I'm feeling now. So, I went to All Slots internet casino and started playing. At first I started slow - you know, a few slots here and there - nothing big. Not too much changed at first. And then one day - BANG - I won an internet casino jackpot! Can you believe it -little ole me winning an internet casinos jackpot? It was too much to believe! And you know what, it cured me of my depression because I realized that I can win and that I am worth something. I felt like a professional card counter at a black jack game. Thanks All Slots internet casino, you saved my life!"


Boaz, you must be so proud to see your handiwork so effectively saturating the internet.

You got it.

There is "blackhat SEO" that uses programs that can create tens of thousands of these type sites. Google keeps throwing them out and they make more, over and over and over agan....

 

[dominique]

Two weeks today since this started, and there is still loads of this stuff floating around.

Yep, for the reasons explained above, they have to make a ton of this crap in order for any of it to survive ....

I understand Dom, but my point was that those excerpts I posted are from sites that I posted LAST week. We've been told over and over how it's all been removed, or being removed. How long does it take to take a website offline? All of those sites I posted are nothing BUT this stuff, no reason for them to even still be up and running is there? Other than to continue to garner more hits? Oh, and all the links that they've paid for on God knows how many thousands of sites that lead back to these ones. Can't have people clicking on dead links.

 

[dominique]

Yeah, it's a really dirty campaign.

 

[GrandMaster]

Two weeks today since this started, and there is still loads of this stuff floating around. The infamous keno site is still up and running. Couple of excerpts.

Where do you keep finding this stuff? Bigflashcasino.com, casino--gambling.us, online--keno.com are either offline or give a MySQL server error.

 

[Pinababy69]

Well, isn't that funny GM? When I posted those..I believe two were from the keno site, the other was from the casino--gambling.us site. I just now tried, and as you said, neither one will load. Well, I'd say they have someone sitting here...or maybe they're clairvoyant. Or maybe a week later, they've finally gotten around to doing what they should have originally.

I'm sure I'll find more. I should be getting paid for this JF, don't you employ people to look after this stuff for you? And GM is still waiting for his consultant's fee as well, for his tech advice.

 

[dominique]

I should be getting paid for this JF, don't you employ people to look after this stuff for you?

Apparently not or there would not have been a problem of these proportions.

 

[jetset]

And where is Boas and his disclosures? Surely he has some idea where this rubbish is and can be persuaded by JF to assist in cleaning up the mess if the commitment to do so is real?

 

[tencardcharlie]

I feel kinda' sorry for you Boaz. Can't be easy having to deal with petty matters like this one, being a big shark and all. Therefore, as a small gift to you, I wrote a story that you may use free of charge in your advertising. Enjoy.

How I screwed up marketing online casino games and refused to admit it

I could not get a decent job so I applied for a job advertising online casino games. I was so excited when I got the job as the chief spammer at All slots casino. Advertising online casino games was easy. All I had to do is put the words and phrases like online casino games everywhere in texts like this one to spam the search engines. Me and my staff came up with thousands of pages about online casino games. Some of them told stories about people who escaped depression and financial troubles by playing online casino games. This was great, because now tons of suckers would try to solve their troubles by playing online casino games and lose all their money on the online casino games.

Sadly, some player on a forum about online casino games found out about what we were doing and when the players of online casino games heard the story they where furious. I tried to calm them down by posting a bunch of insults against webmasters that run sites about online casino games, as well as players of online casino games. That didnt help at all. The people on the board about online casino games just got even more upset. Everyone still hates me for my campaign about online casino games. All I have left is the money I made from writing ridiculous stories about online casino games. I think I will spend it all playing online casino games. I certainly deserve it.

Kind regards
Online cas... wait, I mean - Boaz

 

[Chatmaster]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

That is most probably the best read I had in ages. I think I am popping this page a backlink about online casino games. I am confident it will rank well for online casino games then.

 

[maxfalcon]

I'm really speechless. It's just simply unbeveliable. I've been pointed this thread today by someone who visited one of my websites. Maybe it was a member of the forum. I've read all the 40 pages (three hours, thanks guys...)

The 'article' about cancer is the lowest thing I've ever seen in this industry. How can you psychologically manipulate persons in desperate situations, to play at an online casino, or anything else? They are persons that do not care of humans, and only care about themselves.

I'm waiting to see the final truth about this issue. I will take all actions necessary. In the course of promoting JF casinos since the last year, I've always only got good feedbacks from my subscribers. What are the exact facts and the exact responsability/link of Jackpot Factory in this campaign? I'm firmly waiting for the eCogra study.

A question that should be asked now is, how many new downloads and how much in new deposits is this nasty little campaign generating?

Yes, exactly what I was thinking while reading the thread.

Well, to conclude, this is the kind of thing that gives me the envy to quit the online gambling world, but I bet that those sort of individuals and disgusting acts are not limited to this field...
