Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

The Aquaponics4You guy has been using ezine articles to drive traffic to his site. Ezine article writing is a good way to generate a constant stream of traffic and a higher Google ranking if you supply a backlink to your website and are recognized as a "quality" author.

This guy has written over a dozen short articles on AP two weeks ago and is going all out to generate traffic. In fact he is an "expert" in a number of other niche markets including acne cures and "mens issues," that also link to his companion websites.

I would urge all members to logon to:

http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dowl_White

and register a complaint about his unethical behaviour. Click on the "Report this Author" button and get him banned and taken off that site, as that action will impact a little on his traffic volume.

And his name keeps changing all the time.......... Now he is Dowl White?

Have just done so Frank.
See what happens?

If anyone was still in doubt about the guy, his motivations and methods, just check the following.. http://www.aquaponics4youDOTcom/affiliates.php

Sleazy sales crap.. trying to get affiliates to sell his crap e-manual, provides key google words, and a link to the 20 articles on ezine he recommends using...



Man it's just popping up everywhere, showed up on a cheap lawn website today..

This is the reply I got from ezines! At least they answered.
Joel, show them where and what, maybe will do some good.

I don't have the links etc that you do.
Cheers IanK

Thats the problem Ian, they have only used pictures that are copyright, and those have been removed when I complained. From what I can see of the articles he has posted, they are little 300-400 word things saying "AP is combining fish and plants..........". Not copyright material again, just pathetic promotional stuff repeating the same thing in 20 different ways.

It's part of the crappy side of the internet, people trying to make money by not actually doing anything of any importance. Create some crappy website using other peoples info and pics from around the internet, then sell shit little ebooks to make money..

There are sites dedicated to it like clickbank dot com, and this is what AP4U is on and promoting through.. Clickbank says in their there little blurb about how easy it is to make money in a few steps:











Just people who are all about marketing, promoting and making some money, not about AP. But unfortunately they aren't really breaking laws in many cases, it's just cheap nasty shit...

Thee are so many little crap blogs and sites popping up, filled will google adds, a couple of you tube videos (made by others), a few of those crap little articles like our mate has supplied above, and then sales links...

Here is a classic one of these. http://www.tilapiafarming DOT org

Just embedded youtube videos, copies of those crap useless articles, google adds, and links to buy the AP4U ebook. And I guess there are going to be more and more of these things, other people joining clickbank, trying to make money by doing bugger all...

Well at least Joel and Murray come out of it all with a bit of dignity according to Dr Wilson Lennard and James Rakocy who are well onto the nature of these American high pressure marketeers or "Aqua-Shysters" as they refer to them.

When looking at ecofilms site go to the aquaponics site theres a couple of good films in there

Are you talking about this one Milne?

http://www.ecofilms.com.au/2010/12/11/a-visit-from-milne/

Yes

Yeah, two old buggers chewin the fat
But it is very entertaining

They need to chew faster... or longer...

Maybe we all should work on a "buyer beware" webpage to help educate
the people and show them what they should look for in a system that actually works....

I've see claims of 80lbs of fish in a 50(189l) gallon fish tank with 20 gallons(75l)(2.7cu ft.)of grow bed... that would be a mess real quick

lets get input from all and make a great page to help steer potential AP people in the right direction

You mean like to list the Mythconceptions of AP? LOL (inside joke)

F&F I really truly enjoyed your visit with Murray!

I think we simply have to do our best to provide the best info out there.
