Yeah to the uninformed person, they might see these online stores as a better option than a costco camera system.
Spamming Google Surveillance Search Results
Published Aug 27, 2013 04:00 AM
Crappy CCTV stores ruin searches for common surveillance terms, making it comically hard to find real information. Google is, unfortunately, deeply gamed. Online stores spend a lot of time and effort ensuring that. Even worse, users go to the stores buying second rate (or worse) products for a premium price.
This is a behind the scenes story of what goes on and how this nonsense works, hurting the rest of us.

Sep 06, 2013Wow, these guys are relentless. I just got this email:
"A member from my team contacted you about advertising on your site. I understand your company is not open to paid advertising, however we would like to know how we can get positively mentioned from your site. We can contribute a very useful article about trends in the online industry, for example, a helpful article pointing out common sales gimmicks used by other companies to make a sale and stiff the buyer. We would ask a link back to our domain from the article.
Would you be interested in such a partnership?"
(A) They didn't ask about advertising. They wanted to buy a sneaky text link to manipulate search engine rankings.
(B) Why in the world would I want a store selling crappy cameras to write an article on IPVM when we have a team of experts already doing so?
These link buying / baiting / bartering tactics are absurd.

Sep 08, 2013John I think you should take that link to 123cctv off because they are getting the benefits of this backlink just like we don't want them to!
