Apr 8, 2011 at 7:37 pm #1722236AnonymousInactiveWhat I wonder is why he thinks anyone here would have the slightest interest in the crap he's peddling.
Apr 8, 2011 at 7:43 pm #1722240Probably a program that creates profiles and posts on threads, not an actual dude. If it IS a dude- HA HA he gets NO love here,
Apr 8, 2011 at 7:49 pm #1722244They just want the link to their web site posted

Then, their website will show up better in search engine results

Cheers
