Is it Just Another Windmill Attack to Demand Integrity in Online Article Marketing?

Many online article marketers think that they can justify being shrills using false identities and fake names. They do so, by pointing out the common use of pen names in writing and call those who decry their methods no more than self-righteous, refreshing and bemusing, Don Quixote's.

I dare to take a stand on these "Shrill" and Buzz Marketing tactics in online article writing and yet I realize that no one cares what anyone thinks until they do something, and well I have and now I speak. I say to those who proclaim innocence, while using false names and misrepresentations; who is swinging at wind powered machines?

You see, I am pointing to what is clearly fraud and if necessary I can further point those who break the law and the spirit of truth to recent FTC rulings against Buzz Marketing. The use of fake names to promote online gimmicks, get rich quick schemes, trinkets, ridiculous diet plans or even to attract AdSense clickers is unethical.

The integrity of the Internet is at stake, and as the saying goes you can only believe half of what you read, we need not allow scoundrels in the midst to take it down to 35% or less. I think these points should enjoy further discussion and in the process, perhaps others will note the obvious misrepresentations occurring and the growth in micro-payments of their ill-gotten gains.

We must hold the online article marketers to a higher standard, each individual engaged in this activity needs to do so with the utmost integrity and ethical standards. It is not okay to lie or use a fake name and be a shrill for one's own personal gain. If you are going to do so, you must use your real name.

Many people say that no one uses their real name on the Internet? Well then, if everything is fake and you really believe that, then you are a fake too, if you operate in such a fashion. Indeed, how can one justify perpetuating such misdirection and misrepresentations against the billions of other Internet users out there? It is not okay to deceive, not even on the Internet and it is illegal to use deceptive marketing practices. Maybe jail time might wake some of these folks up?
