There are several types of essay website / essay service spammers who post on different forums and blogs. Below are the most notorious ones:
- Posing as a satisfied client. Register as a "Student" (in the Country field select a Western country so that you are taken more seriously) and post something positive about a writing service you are trying to promote. You may mention it was your "friend" who recommended the service to you and you have absolutely no interest in promoting it so that it sounds more believable.
- Posing as a satisfied writer. Register as a "Writer" and mention the website you promote has always paid you on time and without any problems. It may not be true, but you have a dozen of writers believing your story (until the truth comes out).
- Asking a question about a writing website. Register as a "Student" and ask the community if they have ever heard about a particular writing service. Most of the experienced members scratch their head when they read the website's name because they have never heard about the website and it is not listed on EssayDirectory.com or even on Google. But by asking the question, you may count on some unsuspecting students to order from the website because it still has no positive/negative reviews.
- Comparing your website to other established services. If you have a new website that has no established reputation or no visitors, register as a "Student" or "Writer" and mention your website's name together with a couple of established websites. You may compare a Volga to a BMW, but unsuspecting clients may not initially notice the difference.
Are there any other examples of "advertising in disguise" in the academic research industry?
