casinounlocked.com - Questionable Actions

[Aussie-Dave]

Hi,

Does anyone know who owns this domain, casinounlocked.com?

xxxhttp://www.casinounlocked.com/pokie-games/

Who ever owns this site has targeted my Brand of Raw Funk Games. (rawfunkgames.net.au - also own many other TLD's)
It may look like a site review BUT its intent is to obtain high serps for my Brand Name.

No link(s) are pointing back to my brand. All links point to other sites.

The page only has one banner for Royal Vegas.

If you are the owner of this site, I have reported this to my FA aff manager.
Frankly whilst your not scapping content, you are using my brand in attempts to obtain serps and make money from my hard work.

That's not only questionable but dodgy and void of ethics!

Got word from my aff manager at FA he's contacted the affiliate who owns casinounlocked.com. The site owner said he'd remove my Brand but that's still not happened.

On closer inspection this affiliate (a noobie) has a number of sites and is using GPL wordpress themes. And yes you guessed it, he's removed all mandatory theme designer links from the footers of these WP themes.

I highly doubt my brand will be removed considering the above.
Stil, I'll give him till Monday.

Please keep us updated on this. On one hand you have to give it to the guy for the 'creative' approach but talk about a hitch-hiking parasite thing to do!
If he came up with this on his own and really is a noob, that evil genius might be an asset if properly channeled to white hat ways... just saying.

This is just your garden variety link farm site. Whoever owns it is copy+pasting content and then selling links to other sites, as all the links in the content are untagged except the ad in the sidebar. I doubt you have been specifically targeted other than as a quick source of content to copy+paste.

Its interesting that there are several untagged links to Platinum Play in the site content which indicates that Fortune is buying links on the site.

I spotted that too...It's especially annoying and frankly has me seeing red because, the Raw Funk Games brand worked exclusively with FL for a bit over 3.5 years. They're still heavily promoted acrosss our network. Not mention we make them a pretty penny each month.

Unless some rookie at FL purchases these links...well you understand why I'm narky!

BTW thanks for the extra info Vladi

Edit: Just checked and the page has been updated and my Brand removed.


Cheers

Dave
