Kimkins Keeps Me Crying, Are All Articles Innocent?
The pulling apart of the Kimkins scam has been compared to pulling back the layers of an onion. I find the more I pull this onion apart, the more and more I cry, and I wonder if I will ever get to the core.
We have come across some article sites, that I must really commend. They have heard our cries and removed the offending articles from their sites. But I have come across another problem, thanks to my old pal Wouter Van Dyck.
This morning I came across an article that didn’t have anything to do with Kimkins per say (this isn’t the first time), but it was signed off by Wouter and the link he provides goes to his site Kimkins Review. Why is this a problem?
The article slips under the radar. It shows Wouter as an expert in another field, building his reputation. If someone was to be innocently looking for an article, and happen to notice his little blurb about losing weight at the bottom, they could very well be encouraged to click to the review site, and order Kimkins.
But there is even a larger problem with the articles. The articles spread around the internet, and in return create many more links for Wouter, which in turn supports the ranking of his site.
I recently hit an extremely disturbing site which was connected to Wouter Van Dyck, and in my mind there is no denying his uncaring morals and character.
Wouter is linked to references about teenagers. A teen depression site is one, and he has blogged about teens and diet on his blogger Kimkins Review. He is recommending the Kimkins diet for obese teenagers. Teenagers are the last ones on the planet who should be shown Kimkins. They are too impressionable, and this cocktail mix is most horrifically a promotion to encourage eating disorders. Teenagers need to be extremely careful when it comes to diet, as obviously they are still developing.
I am not only crying now, but my stomach is churning as well.
I want to give proper credit the to article sites that have been truly responsible. It is their help that has revived my spirit to carry onward with this mission. During the brief moments of this post being written, another site has stepped up to the plate and really made my day.
I would like to thank onlinecooking.net . Thank you for realizing the severity of this problem, and thank you for helping to save others from online fraud.
I would like to thank isnare.com . You have a great assortment of articles, and I highly commend you for your help.
I would like to thank ezinearticles.com for removing the directly related Kimkins promotion articles.
I would like to thank pixel4less.com for removing the Kimkins articles. They really have a nice collection in there on many topics.
And one more for today, thank you articles3000 . Absolutely outstanding.
There are more article sites that I will be recommending soon. This is just a start.
We are still waiting to hear back from many more.
If you are a member of or use article sites, please check your site for any offending materials, and I urge you to contact those companies and see if they really care, or choose to support fraud. It will tell you a lot about the company, which ultimately will comment on the quality of articles they wish to provide to the public.
