Do Penis Enlargement Pills Work? is a weblog that has been aggressively linked to recently. Ostensibly it is a personal account of a guy from New York trying the type of product that is normally advertised in spam email.

I’m fairly sure this a new type of marketing scam, a ‘Spamblog’, a fake personal blog designed specifically to drive Pagerank and visitors to a product?

The evidence:

1. Only two products are mentioned throughout the blog.

2. They are mentioned too often and the links seem too judicious to be real.

3. The discussion of the results of the product are wholly positive (and this stuff is snake oil).

4. Both products have similar websites and are clearly distributed by the same company.

5. The ‘about me’ seems to generic, this is not a real person.

So there you have it, I guess there will be more of these types of sites shortly

If you are at a loose end for something to do in San Francisco this Saturday, you could register for the 2004 Masturbate-a-thon. A Massmasturbate I guess.

Half off if you’re participating in the
