Hi guys,

I've wrote a news release about the issue of affiliate hackers, along with that we have launched a new tool to help combat them.

The release: Hackers Plague Online Gambling Affiliation Programs
The tool: Gambling Affiliate Hacking Reporting Tool

We are awaiting more official responses to Google who have acknowledge the problem through their press office and we are also awaiting feedback from 888 Casino and Stop Fraud police (UK).

It also looks promising on highlighting the issue as several SEO related news sites are looking to run a similar story.

We are looking to run a follow up story in about 6 weeks when we have all responses and some engagement with the tool. We have had our first success from the first submission too:

XXXhttp://chriswoodmusic.co.uk/choy-sun-doa-slot-machine-online/ - had an email from this guy who we issued a letter to who was not aware of the pages and taken them down, very grateful too. Was a page 2 ranker for Choy Sun Doa Slot machine / online (still is).

Would be good for feedback as always as this seems a mutual problem.

We spoke to Google's press office, they won't release information on a specific industry, they are normally reluctant to release anything algorithm related.

Excellent - we will definitely use your reporting tool to advise you of 'dodgy' sites we find
