Arné My thoughts on spam are well known and feel free to read through my site and find stuff IU have written about spam.

I do use social networking to market my blog, but will never spam a bunch of groups. That just pisses people off.

The article was linked to from one group by me. I also placed a link to it on twitter, muti, my facebook profile and a facebook note.

That is hardly spam.

@Re@PeR

Thats a boring challenge, outranking him is not at all difficult to do. The only benefit I might gain is that someone local may have heard the name and be looking for someone that can actually get results.

Thanks for taking my comments, appreciated, again, I’m am dissapointed in the SPAM(I’ve got a real thing for SPAM), but I do agree with you on bad designs and marketing crazy with your knowledge and creations when it is below standards, and obviously the research done does alot in supporting your argument.

Arné
I posted the link in one group and on my own profile, hardly spamming is it? If I had gone out there and added to 50 groups, I would agree that I was spamming the groups.

Think before you make silly statements dude. Sadly I have not taken anyone out, They attacked my integrity. I have written two articles about web design and yes this bloke was a brilliant example of how not to do it.

I could hardly respond to his foolishness in a group that I am not welcomed in, I answered his request for me to do some research. I guess my next article about forum design and administration will also disgust you.

I am always open for discussion, The more discussion, the more I learn.

Let's have an SEO / SERP challenge, let's see who can rank the highest on the keywords "Colyn Serfontein", I'm pretty sure we can both outrank him. Re@PeRs last blog post..Collapse of the US Dollar

I'm very dissappointed in the way your trying to get traffic to this post by raving and spamming facebook groups. I used to follow your blog regularly, but now you've gone a bit too far, firstly taking someone out, but going the extra mile to spam on facebook groups - disgusting! I hope you approve this comment for everybody to see that way it shows your open for debate. Arnés last blog post..DSA-1694 xterm

Colyn left a comment which I declined to post. He was mostly negative about the fact that I have different sized fonts in this blog, Guess he doesn’t know what a header is either.

There was some ranting about court cases and sites from the 90’s, when the copyright says 2006, so I didn’t see the relevance to this particular blog.

Oh yes he said that there were different values for different types of links, I guess that was a little on topic here but not so much that I would care.

Just Debt, Monies owing, I wouldn’t make a big deal out of that personally.

Just Google for "PPOL Systems PTY LTD", found a court case where Global Pact Trading is suing them (still trying to figure out for what) as well as hordes of other badly designed sites by Colyn Serfontein (at least he's using table layouts on them and not frame layouts) Name calling is never in good taste, but this guy is definitely a FRAUD!
