Nine-News.net fake news site (AVOID)

If you’ve stumbled or bumbled or staggered onto the fake advertorial news site known as Nine-News.net then hopefully you’ve quickly hit your back button or otherwise left the Nine News.net page immediately.

Why, because it’s currently promoting a product I’ve warned people to avoid at all costs called Automated Profit Package which if you click here you’ll see has a huge number of problems and complaints.

The Nine-News.net advertorial presents a story about a woman named Katie Jenkins who states, “I earn on average about $25 for every link I post on Google and I make around $8,700 a month right now”.   If you’re wondering about the claim from Katie Jenkins that you can make money posting a link on Google then you might want to read this immediately. I’ve been WARNING people about these “make money posting a link on Google” sites for a LONG, LONG time.

Does News-Nine.net violate the FTC’s No Safe Harbor Guidelines?

Also, just because a site is claiming to be an advertorial doesn’t mean that it can make income claims that potentially violate the FTC’s “No Safe Harbor” guidelines. You see, the FTC recently implemented the “No Safe Harbor” rule for testimonials which David C. Vladeck – Director, FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection describes as follows:

“…the use of a disclaimer such as “results not typical” is no longer a safe harbor for the claims made in testimonials. Third, while you may use atypical or best-case testimonials, if you do, you should clearly and conspicuously disclose the generally expected
results consumers can expect in the depicted circumstances. Of course, the best practice, and the less risky practice, is to use testimonials that actually reflect what your product or services is likely to deliver. In other words, rather than run ads that give with one hand but take away with the other, it would be better for your ads to give a clear picture of the results a consumer will
actually get.”

So think about that as you’re reading claims about making “8,700 per month”

Why is News-Nine.net closing comments on fake comments?

This is nothing new for anybody who has seen any of these fake News sites (I’ve literally seen THOUSANDS of them). But if sites like News-Nine.net are new to you, you may want to ask yourself why News-Nine.net is closing down a fake comment section with a bunch of fake comments.

Don’t think they’re fake? Take a look at the following images:

Fakely Closed Fake Comments On The Fake Nine-News.net

Why would the exact same comments be showing up on:

  • MorningNews7.com
  • NewsNineToday.com
  • EmailProcessingHomeBiz.com
  • Newsus.net

There are other fake advertorial news sites with that same comment as well, including (but not limited to):

  • News-9-Today.com
  • News-Weekly.co.uk
  • News9Daily.org
  • News8Online.org
  • News11TodayFinance.com
  • MensHealthAndFinances.info
  • News-7-Today.com
  • Daily7-Business.net

I’m sure there are plenty more, but a quick search on Google pulled up those.

The Fake News Phenomenon Continues…

Over the years I’ve tracked literally thousands of fake news sites and fake blogs. At one point it seemed like they were going to go away…but now it doesn’t seem like they ever will.

In fact most marketers using fake blogs seem to believe that placing the word “Advertorial” at the top of a page means that they can then do whatever the heck they want…including:

  • Including lots of fake comments in a comments section.
  • Claiming that their fake story was seen on ABC, CNBC, CNN and other major media outlets
  • Putting advertising sections WITHIN the advertorial (huh?)
  • Putting real news video footage within their fake news stories

Of course many of them just don’t use an advertorial disclaimer at all. Just like products such as Bloggers Payday one thing’s about 99% certain (OK maybe 100%)…you should more than likely AVOID any “business opportunity” that these fake news sites promote.

The following video shows how widespread and bizarre the fake news phenomenon continues to be:

The following graph from Compete.com shows the relative traffic levels of the fake news sites NewsDaily7.com, News-11-Today.com as compared to the Federal Trade Commission website, FTC.gov (Even though the fake news sites appear to be buying a lot of traffic – and probably some really cheap traffic).  Attorney Michael Webster who specializes in Misleading Advertising Law has suggested that, “suggested that anytime a scheme is more popular than the regulator who oversees it and hundreds if not thousands things like it: RUN AWAY. Don’t stop to think, just RUN AWAY.”  That might not always be true of course, but my guess is that MOST of the time it will be.

NewsDaily7.com, News-11-Today.com, & FTC.gov at Compete

Fake News Sites Move to Yahoo – Sort of…

Yahoo Is Hiring...For Google...?

Yahoo Is Hiring...For Google...?

I literally just stumbled onto a fake news site called News33Show.com while searching for a list of national newspapers broken down by city. The first thing I noticed of course was the headline:

“Breaking News: Yahoo Now Hiring People To Work From Home
Yahoo is Set To Hire A Group Of Americans To Work From Home In The Next Few Days. Thousands Of Jobs Available, Anyone Can Apply.”

And a recommendation of a product called “Easy Google Profit”.

It appears that this fake news site affiliate is scared enough of the recent Google Lawsuit to have changed his landing page – although once you clickthrough on the Easy Yahoo Profit link you end up on a site called InternetRichGuru.com  has a name similar (but not the same) to another site I wrote up yesterday in the Not Recommended section here:

InternetRichesGuru.com – Not Recommended

I also learned how to report invalid Verisign Seal from a (the?) Verisign Marketing Coordinator who posted this comment:

“If you encountered a VeriSign Secured® Seal that is used incorrectly, please report it to VeriSign using this form.

https://www.verisign.com/support/contact/secure-site-seal-abuse/index.html

 

So why is this fake news only “sort of” moving to promoting Yahoo?…Because the actual offer it promotes claims to teach how to make money with Google.

I’m going to go ahead and publish this post “as is” – but hope to be able to update it more tomorrow.
