Then explain to me why casino affiliate managers are lining up to meet this guy? Why is PartyPoker all over the site UselessJunk (for at least the last 18 months)? Why are other gaming sites advertising on similar sites? No relevance? I’m sorry, there is factual relevance as they are clearly generating traffic as affiliates and advertisers for your industry. I like to keep my mind open to new things so I can detect trends. To me, this is a trend. Ignorance to trends means lost revenue opportunities.
Name ’em.
Why are operators like Party Poker getting in on this sort of thing? Because their employees are being told they MUST spend money and the pickings for online gambling sites are thin. Doesn’t mean that these sites are producing revenue of any consistency. Nice branding, perhaps, but at what cost?
There comes a time when basic humanity becomes more important than making a buck. The notion of glorifying the brutality of anyone–regardless of age, is something I can’t wrap my head around. It’s reprehensible. At the end of the day, Ogrish is profitting off the worst misery of others. Further, I can’t even begin to imagine what sort of sick mind the Ogrish site breeds.
What he does not like is how the media attempts to ‘beautify war’ and violence. In that scope, his site’s aim is to show the reality of war and violence, as graphic as it may be. ‘The naked truth’ he said to me…..
Bullshit. This site does nothing but sensationalize the tragedies of others. If indeed Mr. Hewitt’s claims were accurate, why are there photos of auto accident victims? This has nothing to do with crime–it’s just another bit of crap to throw up on his site so that some sick individuals can feast over. Get real.
If this is indeed a “trend,” which will have any sort of real impact on the online gambling biz, we’re in for serious trouble. Aside from boycotting the CAC, I’d suggest boycotting ANY online gambling operator which advertises within this or similar sites.
I find it most regretful, because I have had spend months collecting data on blackhat/seo. But perhaps not all is lost. I really had some really good shockers, but in time I will be sure to post them on CAP.
I have mad respect for you with this, Greek. :clapper:
I have a suite at the Wynn, which I’m happy to offer up if you’d like to still do your presentation. We can easily fit 20 – 30 (possibly more) in there comfortably and I can arrange to have the AV stuff you’d need–just let me know.
Mark–I can’t help thinking back to the year you invited Gator and the uproar over this. It turned into a tempest in a teapot. In this situation, however, you’ve reached new lows. By inviting this guy to speak, you are essentially endorsing Ogrish.
So go somewhere else.
Nice, Mark. From the looks of things, it appears that’s exactly what many will be doing.
