Cilit Bang, and evil marketing
|
An entirely grotesque example of hand-crafted comment spam/viral marketing, and a great article by the victim.
I simply do not share his belief that the people involved were naive, I think they knew exactly what they were doing, and as such I think it important to use what little Google clout my puny blog has, by saying:
CILIT BANG MARKETING DESERVES YOUR CONTEMPT.
Seems to me that if enough people were to say this, they would be at the top of google for entirely the wrong reasons. And there _is_ such a thing as bad press. For example: Sunny Delight, Dasani.

Should we not wait for the outcome of this investigation before pointing fingers?
It does look like there is a distinct possibility that this post could have been created by someone who hates Cillit Bang - for personal or professional reasons.
I agree that if it turns out Cillit Bang or one of its agents is behind this then they deserve all the negative Googlebombing they can get, but I'd rather wait and see before jumping to conclusions.

I have a reply to this, which I am making into a new blog post, because it's long and detailed, like most of my opinions ;) Thanks for provoking thoughts.
