The BBC is a trustworthy organisation, people believe what it has to say in general. While looking for a completely unrelated issue I noticed an advertisement for weight loss. It looks spammy but the addition of the BBC’s logo gives it a certain click worthiness that is likely to make people click on the ad. For me, I just wanted to see in what way had this been seen on the BBC? (I was thinking BBC Watchdog.)
When you click on the site it takes you to a splog: (http://www-janesweightlossblog-com/)
I don’t want to give them a link so if you want to visit the site then replace the dashes with dots.
The reference to the BBC seems to be a general news story about acai berries. This is very low spammy site and links to an equally spammy marketing of quick-fix remedies. If you end up buying anything from this site then you are an idiot.
There is no secret to weight loss. Eat less high calorie foods and exercise more.

I’m doing some research on spamming techniques like this. Can you let me know what website you found this ad on? Thanks!

The website was http://www.bigresource.com. Look around the site. Now they are showing similar ads with as seen on cbs and abc.
