Ken Evoy's Unethical Affiliate
I ventured to IceRocket.com today to see how many of my blog posts were indexed, and how fresh the posts were. From doing a search I ran across this blog which has stolen the copy from my homepage, and The link at the top of the post (which says "Home Business Web Sites") goes to an affiliate for Ken Evoy's SiteBuildIt.
Put your mouse over the link and you will see "home-business-web-sitescom-web-site.html."
Even though HomeBusiness Websites is a registered business name, clearly I can understand that use of these words in another context. What really irks me though, is that this guy would copy the the blurb from my homepage, and link it to something else.
And this comes as no surprise &mdash that if you navigate to the homepage of the blog, you will see this guy has done the same thing by targeting other design businesses.
I understand that Ken Evoy may not have any control over unethical affiliates but it would indicate that along the way better affiliate tracking programs need to be built and put to use. I think Ken is fine person and produces some needed programs. It is a shame to see Mr. Envoy getting the name of some of these products dirtied by unethical affiliates.
