GFY email Spam now?? WTF
 

Just got a rather odd and unreadable email from GFY/AVN So spammy I couldn't get through the first paragraph... reads like a Don Lapre' pitch... so sad.

just got this to, wtf GFY?!?!?

:mad::mad:

hey gleem...long time no talk ;) yeah...I was also wondering what kind of spam GFY is suddenly sending out

I got this too. I assumed it was fake and not send out by GFY or AVN.

Just got this as well... :(

yah i got it. some bad ebook garbage about inbound links in articles on high pr sites.

:1orglaugh

someone thinks that the real adult seos are idiots.

got the same bullshit..... i seriously hope this isn't really from GFY??

/clicksunsubscribe

Forums like Black Hat World and Wicked Fire do this all the time, so I guess it's what they pulled out of their weekend partnership with Wicked Fire...

Tiny classified ads 3.0

I thought the same, but then they hacked the GFY mailing list ??:disgust

I got it on all 7 nics.

.

lol ...........

everyone has to earn a buck.

You mean we can not get CNN quality links? :Oh crap

I got the same email, not impressed.

Thanks to that email... I am making fucking bank!

all my pages are PR8 now within 1 day!

no email here either, i kinda feel left out, no cnn quality links for me.

i got the gfy spam too. just shows how bad things are getting

They are laughing at us now. Haha, joke on us.

well they probably paid the standard gfy rate for email mailing of $2000 for 60k+ emails

Good, I'm coming to Mtl, beers on you :drinkup :drinkup

whenever I hear the term "adult space" I think of all those billing/merchant account companies that show up at shows, never to be heard from again...

i didnt get one :(

You're easily annoyed ...

Hey All,

This is Alex from HOTH Adult, aka the email
that has been affectionately posted above.
I admit, it was pretty lame. I'm particularly
sorry if you thought that your account had
somehow been compromised.

I can assure you, it was not.

As for the Don Lapre comparison, I'm not
sure if that was a dis or a compliment ;)

Anyway, hope we can close that issue.

Now, if you'll give me 2 minutes of your time,
I'll tell you how I can backup my "CNN quality
links" promise.

Sounds outrageous, I know, but in 2 minutes, you'll
see why its really not.

First let me dispel a major misconception above-

There is NO ebook.
We are NOT an info-product company.
We are a service provider - a pretty good one in
my less than totally humble opinion.

So what the hell do we do & why is it worth your
2 minutes?

My company (The HOTH Corp) has been acquiring
high PR, high authority sites. Matter of fact, we're
still buying them up. We buy sites that are either
plundered by their owners or undervalued.
Sometimes we even buy premium priced properties
because we feel we can create more equity than
the current owner(s).

Either way, we take these "distressed web
properties" and restore them to proper, resectable
authority sites - much like, you guessed it,
CNN.com.

Now, perhaps you've heard of webmasters that
are social engineering experts. Maybe you've
wondered how your competitor has a link to his
adult/pharma/gambling site from Huffington Post?

Let me tell you how -

A LOT of hard work. Probably weeks or months of
relationship building. After all, if the bribing
webmaster turns out to be a shitbag, the bribed
writer will most certainly lose his/her job.

Oh yeah, and it'll probably take a decent chunk of
change too - a bribe. Easily $X,XXX for a
publication like Huff Po. However, in a market
where everyone else is buying up expired domains
and blasting their sites with xrumer & scrapebox,
its ultimately those who are more crafty with their
link building that win. So all the work and money
is worth it.

Our product, HOTH Adult, is going to allow you
to get links from our portfolio of PR4/PR5+,
high authority, quality content packed, separate
C-block hosted sites with the click of a button.

No relationship building.
No bribes.
Just put in your URLs & Keywords and hit "Submit."

Our 7 person writing team will create content specifically
around your niche and link to you with your chosen
keywords from an article posted on one of our Authority Sites.

With us, unlike a bribed link, there is ZERO risk of
that link being moderated away by an angry
editor weeks later. We own the sites, so your
links are safer than Casey from a guilty verdict (too
soon???).

Okay. So you get some good links from some good
sites. Is that it? That's cool, but not that cool...

Agreed. And No, that's not it.

As you know, a link on an authority site only really
packs a punch when it is supported by many other
links, aka gone viral. We are able to mimic the
path of viral content, creating a complex, multi-
layer, semi-randomized link network that funnels
link juice through the authority links on our sites
to yours.

In ADDITION, like all respected authority sites, we
make sure ours get syndicated by hundreds of other
properties. This means hundreds more links directly
to your site(s).

---

So, there it is, HOTH Adult demystified. A way to
consistently get authority adult links to any site
without wasting a minute of your time and saving
you a bunch of money too.

Again, the product is NOT available yet and will
only be released to a limited list at first. This
waiting list can be found at HOTHAdult.com (I can't
post links yet, so please C&P it in your browser).

If you ARE interested in being able to get the type
of links I've described above with the click of a
button, from a top notch, US-based vendor that'll
give you their phone number so you can call and
personally yell at them if there is so much as a
shred of a problem (although there rarely is), then-

Please take another look at HOTH Adult & Sign Up

P.S. It's true. I really do send you my personal
number if you sign up to the launch list. I like our
clients. They ask smart questions and help us
consistently make our products better. Don't be
afraid to say hello (or 'Fuck You,' if you're in one
of those moods).

wow, that's the reply?

Glad i unsubscribed from all lists immediately.

Cool, me too.. On the day I got the email I made $300 000... from my tiny 1 bedroom apartment. :1orglaugh

thanks for clearing that up. seems like a great service. :thumbsup

The only thing I got out of this is you' like Dogbert and that your site has a "We Absolutely Hate Spam. Your Email is Safe With Us." quote while you started spamming from the very beginning. In Fatfoo words: good luck :thumbsup

How did you get our email's? Did you purchase them or when the mod switch for the weekend done was the GFY db 'borrowed'?

you are one of the slower performers, need to follow instructions to the letter:2 cents:

@Harvey: Point taken. I believe my answer
to sicone below may answer some of your
questions.

@sicone: We never "got" anyone's email.

If you click "Advertise" on the bottom of the
forum and request a rate card, you'll see that
mailers are a standard advertising option.

We submitted the creative and it went through
the official mailing channels.

When looking at previous creatives, we saw
that they were all super graphic-heavy so we
decided to take a text approach.

I believe in your User CP (top left) you can
opt out of such mailings.

@Mods: If for any reason you feel that I've
disclosed anything harmful or in anyway
misleading, feel free to remove this post.
It was never my intent to incite such
security concerns, so I just want to be 100%
forthcoming so everyone has peace of mind.

P.S. I encourage you not to go crazy
unsubscribing. The mods here are good people,
otherwise they wouldn't have been able to build
up such a strong community. I'm sure in the
future they'll be more strict about screening
mailers against recipients' expectations.

P.P.S. We did NOT get anyone's email. Literally.
Besides the people that signed up to our waiting
list, not a single email was disclosed to us.
Again, you have nothing to worry about.

name one "cnn quality" site you own/control ?

otherwise you are full of shit..

its all bs. you are the internet version of don lapre.

I agree and what's with the fucked up formatting of their posts and emails being so narrow? Pain in the ass to read...

Imagine yourself in our place for a second.

You just invested a substantial amount of
time and money acquiring a property and
fixing it up for the purpose of selling high
quality, SAFE links to other people. Would
you go on a public forum and announce
to the world "HEY! I'M GOING TO SELL
LINKS ON THIS SITE! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!"?

Of course not. It would kill your business
model dead in its tracks. Nobody wants
links from a site that everyone knows is
selling them.

With that said, once the product is released,
each report will contain 100% documentation
of ALL links created. This information is for
paying clients only. The less people that have
it, the better for our clients.

For people that are on our launch list, we WILL
send out examples of our sites beforehand.
This will happen closer to the launch date.

If our sites aren't up to your standards, then
you don't have to buy. That simple. We can't
"twist" your arm here.

Which part is BS in your opinion?

In my post that you quoted, I explained
EXACTLY how our business model works.
Frankly, you can take the model that I
documented and do it yourself. All you
need is the time, money, knowhow, team,
etc.

There is literally NO hocus pocus.

If there is anything particularly far-fetched,
tell me what it is and I'll gladly address it.

Many eye tracking studies show that
columns of ~4" or less are easier to read
and skim - especially by email. If I'm
writing something on a forum that I
particularly want people to read, I will
write it this way. For the same reason, I
use short sentences. They get read.

I've had some people ask why or tell me
that its weird, but nobody seems to mind.
Sorry you don't like it.

Glad to address any other concerns or
product questions.

Your logic is flawed..the way you write in 4 inch columns is annoying I would say for most readers.

The idea of studies is to use the info and then take the pieces that you feel overall may have some value...dont follow and react to them exactly. ( use common sense , thats why you have it - or dont in some peoples cases lol)

Example:

A 2009 study found that no one has ever died sleeping in a USA 24-7 Mcdonalds ...that doesnt mean to live longer go and sleep at your local Big Mac store! .....:upsidedow

shows you how hard up gfy is when they have to spam us

P.P.P.S. tl;dr;dc

why do all those ebooks spammers (and the like) always write in small columns? is there something psychological involved that i didnt get yet? or do they pre-write everything in notepad? i'm lost...

Stop using those annoying line breaks after every 4 words.

That makes sense, thank you for clarifying that.

Alright guys. You win. I'm no longer typing in columns.

Anyone else have any comments about the the product besides the column-width in which it was described?

Sorry dude, but if you truly had "CNN quality links" they will be devalued by Google pretty quickly as soon as you start slapping porn links on them... :2 cents:

The sites are adult themed to begin with, so that shouldn't be an issue.

We said CNN-quality, not CNN subject matter.

Let me clarify what we mean by CNN-quality-

• Our sites are PR4s & 5s with original editorial content.
• By content I mean WORDS - not just images and videos, much less ones that are copied everywhere a million times over, but original written content (supplemented with relevant images and videos). No matter how you cut it, the Goog loves words.
• We keep our outbound link counts extremely low.
• Since we own these sites, we're always doing our own link building, which benefits our clients in turn. We build links in a way that specifically builds domain authority. This means we have link juice flowing to many deep page on the site, not just the root domain.
• All of our properties are adult themed so you're not just getting authority links, but relevant authority links.
• Don't forget, we also create original articles around your targeted keywords, which link to your money sites. As a result, these are quite literally the best kind of links you can get.

Does that resolve your concern?

Hopefully that clarifies what "CNN-quality" means as well.

So you consider a link from a PR4 or 5 adult site as a "CNN quality link"? Really? Recently some sites on here got mentions and links on Huffington Post. That is a "CNN quality link". There is no such thing as an adult site link that is considered CNN quality. If you believe otherwise you have no business selling link building services...

You'll have to do better than that. We adult SEOS are not won over that easily.
