    Just another crap site.

    Randomly generated pages, with random words, running co-op - as usual.

    There were some threads about such sites so far, but I have found no information if actually it is forbidden to use such spam in co-op, or if you rather encourage people to do it.

    Pretty crap indeed.

    Shows it's just there for SEO spam.

    But... As long as we're not linking out to it, it's no problem. We're obviously not encouraging people to do it, that's nonsense.

    If you've seen an ad for it, report it. Otherwise, a link is a link and you can't control who links to you so it won't harm you. Checking a few pages, there's no Google cache for that site.

    It would be nice to see these sites out though. They're just plain useless to anyone on the internet.

    What do the TOC/TOS say about such sites being part of the network? Are randomly generated mass pages allowed?

    I don't think it is randomly generated. I'm not sure but I think this site is in Polish or Czech. Not sure.

    No one anywhere in the world writes sentences that long. That site is spam, even without reading it.

    The guy is probably following this forum, as he has quickly set up a redirection (for everyone apart from googlebot probably). Of course the co-op ads are still there, and as I understand polish I can assure you that everything there is randomly generated.

    If such practices are not forbidden in TOS, then it means that we encourage people to create such crap sites - as the weight system rewards big sites owners. And the fastest way to get one is to create such spam site...

    I know that for some of us a link is just a link, no matter on what kind of site it is placed, but I'm displaying the co-op ads on high quality sites, and in exchange I would like to see my links displayed on quality sites too...

    "...But... As long as we're not linking out to it, it's no problem."

    Right, if my links don'ts show on pages like that - no problem.

    I know who this guy is. He is quite active on my forum. I'll make a topic about it for him.
    He seems to know some programming but I think that is not necessarily the case, because I get a redirection for this url exceede error.

    <edit>
    Actually I didn't notice that he posted in this thread already.

    Jamesisko, I would really discourage you in making ssuch crappy random generated text spam sites. There is a ton of free content that you can use on the web, you just have to find it.

    I guess making a thread on my forum is now useless...
