Mike Lopez, Busby SEO Challenge Nasty Thief, Scraper and Spammer?

August 7, 2008 · Posted in Mike's Blog 

First, thanks a lot to Benj for giving me the heads-up on this forum post which alerted me of the fact that the script I’m using to help me build content on my Busby SEO Challenge sites has a bug that sometimes causes it to violate copyright issues. As a result I decided to put down my original Busby sites built in Wordpress and upload a one-page HTML file that explains the situation.

The forum post labeled me a nasty thief, scraper and spammer and I have nothing against that. Of course, I’m not any of those and my only fault is that I wasn’t careful. For that reason, I wrote this short post to explain my side and I hope that many of you will believe me.

Now, what lesson did I learn? Simple… Scripts are great but they can be dangerous. Don’t rely too much on scripts as you can’t tell what kind of bugs are in them.

Good luck and thanks to the Busby SEO Challenge contestants especially to Benj.

    Thanks to Mito, he was the one that pointed that out to me.

    Thanks for the support but I haven’t been working on my entry anymore, and I know it is too late as well to catch up. I think the best thing to do right now is help Mito, Ed Pudol (Bayaw.com) and Blueken. You can even go deeper and help out Dennis Cabase, PinaySpeak and more.

    http://mikelopez.info/busby-seo-challenge/ Mike, I found this page and figured that you quit. Are you still in the Busby SEO? If so, do you want to team up and try to win as others at the top have been doing from the beginning? I’ve been doing it all on my own without any help as I sure that you have been. LMK if you want to WIN the Busby SEO Challenge and Split the CASH!
