LOL, good for this teacher! I don't know much about these social bookmarking sites, but it seems that Custom-Writing.org, MasterPapers.com, and other fraudulent sites are SPAMming thousands of their links to social bookmark sites like Blinkbits.com, Blinklist.com, Bloglines.com, Blogmarks.net, Bluedot.us, Digg.com, Facebook.com, Furl.net, Mister-wong.com, Mister-wong.de, Netvouz.com, Newsvine.com, Propeller.com, Spotback.com, Spurl.net, Technorati.com, etc. I can't help but notice that all (except one) of the SPAMming sites are based in Ukraine.
I hope she and other teaches tear down all of the SPAMming crooks! LMAO, who's with her?
"Hello everyone,
I am a high school teacher from Minnesota. Every day for the last year I've dealt with the problem of text-link-ads.com selling term paper ads on legitimate educational sites that my students use. I am happy to announce that after contacting text-link-ads.com, the owner, Patrick Gavin, has promised to ban all future link purchases by term paper mills! I applaud his courageous decision to support academic integrity. I am certain that he is the first of many owners of social linking sites who will make the same decision. In fact, I am also happy to announce that ezinearticles.com, articlealley.com, del.icio.us, and simpy.com have also decided to ban term paper and essay mills after receiving my concerned email.
Despite the great news about text-link-ads.com, ezinearticles.com, articlealley.com, del.icio.us, and simpy.com, there is still much work to be done in stopping these SPAMMERS. I've compiled a list of term paper sites that are now SPAMMING all of the social bookmark sites. These are the term paper SPAM sites that you can help me to get banned:
bestessays.com
custom-essay.net
custom-essay.org
custom-essay.ws
custom-writing.org
customessaymeister.com
customessays.co.uk
customwritings.com
disertationexpert.co.uk
essay-paper.net
essayexpert.co.uk
grandessays.com
ma-dissertations.com
masterpapers.com
mastersthesiswriting.com
mindrelief.net
overnightessay.com
proessay.com
standoutessay.com
writing-services.org
yourdissertation.com
Please help me to ban the above term paper SPAM sites by joining me in complaining to the remaining social bookmarking sites. I've put the more popular bookmarking sites in bold:
Apbnews.com

i'm sorry but i don't agree with this. well, to be more accurate, i guess i have mixed feelings about this. i can see the value of stopping the fraudulent sites from advertising, but not at the expense of the entire industry. this protestor doesn't mind proactive or cheaptickets or hp or monster or airtran or any of the other companies spamming ads that i just saw on facebook. this protestor doesn't differentiate between the different companies. this person just wants to get rid of all term paper providers - legit or illegit.
"ban the industry" is a stupid move. it just feeds the clear misperception that this industry only supports cheaters, which it doesn't and which no evidence supports. and it makes misinformed educators feel like they are accomplishing significant progress in stopping student cheating, when they are not.
the impact of this action will probably be minimal except that it will cost the sites advertising dollars. if i owned any of them, i'd politely deny the request.

None of the legitimate sites engage in SPAMming. No legitimate sites are in her list because she didn't find them SPAMming the social bookmarking sites. Legit sites just aren't there. I searched myself. All of the sites in the list are owned by only 4 different companies from Ukraine. The fact that all of the sites involved are Ukrainian speaks volumers about where those fraudulent sites that do not abide by American law are taking the reputation of the legitimate sites of the industry--DOWN, DOWN, DOWN. The less SPAMming they are able to conduct, the less instances of ripping people off will take place. Therefore, legitimate companies will not suffer as much from misdirected blame because of "term paper mill SPAM" and fraudulent transactions.
The impact will not be minimal. It will be quite substantial. The fraudulent sites use fabricated articles on hundreds of random topics and social bookmarking for what I would guess is about 75% of their advertising and link-building.

I can only see one problem here - what if someone spams as someone else (ie. acts like a representative of a company without their authorization to harm that company)?

By SPAMming, I mean up to HUNDREDS of links per social bookmark site. I haven't seen any legit sites SPAMming. Would the scumbag owners of the fraudulent sites spend money and weeks of tiresome effort building up that many links to a competitor just for the sake of sabotage? I doubt it. Even if they did--so what? I'm not worried about any legit sites getting punished by the social bookmarking sites because the legit sites don't have links there, anyway.

Search in Google to see the sheer bulk of SPAM links submitted by the usernames listed below. For example, "stevehomewood" is the bogus username for an EssayWriters.net rep who submits SPAM links mostly for Essay-Paper.net. All of the other usernames below engage in similar SPAM practices for the same group of Ukrainian term paper mills listed in Post #1.
(For the more generic usernames, like "dissertation," you will need to do a Google search for "dissertation social bookmark," or similar.)

onedrfl, I've done a little research for you. From Gather.com's "Terms of Use" (http://www.gather.com/userTerms.jsp):
"c. Reporting Objectionable Behavior. If you encounter behavior that you think violates the TOS or Guidelines, you can report the incident [by sending] us a message at support@gather.com. Please state the reasons for your concern and provide a link to the behavior in question. If the behavior is determined to be inappropriate, then its associated Content is removed from the Service and the author is notified."
Following are the Gather.com account pages of the SPAMMING cockroaches from Custom-Writing.org, MasterPapers.com, etc.
geitsjohn.gather.com
gipsonfreddi.gather.com
sammersbill2.gather.com
rodgerdson.gather.com
nickrichardson.gather.com
maxtaylor244.gather.com
masterpapers.gather.com
lennypraidz.gather.com
stacy1548.gather.com
benrich.gather.com
To easily get the crooked cheaters banned and all of their links removed, simply report them to the following email addresses:
support AT gather.com
advertising AT gatherinc.com
pr AT gatherinc.com
info AT gatherinc.com
The email addresses are also available of Gather.com's "Contact Us" page:
http://www.gather.com/contact.jsp
I urge everyone to take action.

Any company that has to spam to get customers is not a legit company.
Secondly, why would anyone waste their time spamming sites in the name of such company as a conspiracy? Please.

I couldn't agree more, but it's right in line with all of their other, shady business practices.
