Stop The Spam - Ban @billcrosby
Bill Crosby Spam
@billcrosby is a disease. He is a scammer and a spammer. I can't tell if he's the leader of an affiliate marketing pyramid scheme, or it's all done by a series of bots. There are new accounts created constantly and all they do is spam out links to the "Twitter Traffic Machine" which is a scam. He goes as far as to SEO the hell out of the search terms "Twitter Traffic Machine Scam" so that when you search for it, you end up getting redirected to the bullshit site.
Seriously, Twitter needs to take a stand against this kind of crap.

Inappropriate?Aaron,
It is not me. It is a single person affiliate marketing whom I am trying to get kicked off clickbank for doing so. If I knew who it was, I would direct massive hate traffic at them, but clickbank will not tell me who it is.

How is it not you? All this spam redirects to *your* site. Is the TwitterTrafficMachine.com not yours?
Are you implying that someone else is making money for constantly spamming out your site and even trying to own the associations with it being a scam?
It's people like you who ruin the Internet for everyone else. This is why we can't have nice things. The only plus side, I guess, is that some people do have jobs simply to create filters to block out all of the spam. -
Inappropriate?I am a Clickbank user...he has his program on Clickbank. We can advertise any program on Clickbank anyway we want long as it is with in the guidelines of google. The internet is 90% people trying to make money so they can lead better lives. There is nothing wrong with that. It's not a big deal. People don't want to receive ads on twitter unsubscribe to those that do. I send inspirational messages and some time I send an ad. He came up with an idea. Its good...I didn't buy it, because I looked up TTM scam and one of the haters bought the program and revealed the system for free. I was already using twitter automations he talks about, tweetlater and a host of others I have saved in my delicious, but it's not as automated as everyone would think, to use any of them. I use twitter to raise charity support with my movement, I do affiliate marketing to create a way for me to have more time volunteer in my efforts to end child slavery, without worrying how am I going to support myself. So all of my followers know and understand me. I make sure they do. I still get on an say stuff and give real responses and communicate responding to direct messages...but it helps on the days that you can't. It assist the affiliate marketer and the blogger to use automations. You still have to take the time to set it up. Have original messages built in to the automation. Setting it up doesn't last for ever twitter has rules...like you can't say the same thing over and over...so people have to be more than robots on twitter.
Twitter stays pure...because you don't have to except people you don't want to. Every group and interest can hold true to their rules. But this is something we all love and happyness.
I’m thankful

It is a problem. It diminishes the user experience for everyone else, and it's spam. It creates noise, and makes search less effective. It's annoying when you have new people follow you just because you mentioned some key word. It's even more annoying when you think for a second that they are real, follow them, and then end up with a DM inbox full of spam.
You're right about one thing: the Internet is 90% spam and people running "get rich quick" schemes.
If you want to go out and make money on the Internet, that's fine. Create content and create value.
From the sound of it, it's people like you that make the Internet a shittier place for everyone else. On the plus side, you create jobs, because Twitter now has to go out and start hiring full time employees to ban people like you. -
Inappropriate?I 100%, 1000% agree with Aaron Richard. It is annoying. It does diminish the user experience for everyone. Bill Crosby, Jayemerican and other "social media marketers" with a "cause," you don't give a damn about me, you don't know a damn thing about me, and yet you're adding me and expecting me to go to the trouble to block you. I have to manually do this for each one of you f-wits that adds me. I resent it.
And Twitter had better hire full-time people to get rid of shit-bags like you, because frankly, we've had enough. The majority of users are NOT on Twitter because they care about your stupid money-making schemes. We are not on Twitter for porn bots or spam bots. We are on twitter to chat with REAL users, other people, who have the same interests we do, and I guarantee that anyone with a social marketing cause or any other sort of cause, I don't give a flying ___ how good you think your money-making scheme is, it isn't anything I'm interested in.
So you just keep telling yourself that Clickbank and advertising and spam is okay and that to use sites like Tweetlater to do it is okay and that oh golly, you actually have to spend a few minutes setting it up, but your time setting it up is nothing compared to the dollars twitter has to spend to eradicate you, and for each and every person who has to unfollow you, block you, or choose to ignore you.
I’m mad

Thanks badkitty_. We'll beat them eventually. Rumor has it that Twitter will start charging for API access eventually, and when they do, all these clowns will go somewhere else.

Inappropriate?Finally banned! Thanks Twitter! Hopefully all of his drones will give up now.
I’m thankful
