tjformal bridal, prom and tuxedo - so glad you benefit from my content

So pleased that TJFormal - a bridal, prom and tux shop in the US - benefits from my content!

This is why the internet has no future, folks. I don’t even know exactly what’s happened here - so I’ll just tell as I see it.

I write blog content. That content gets lifted and connected with a series of different URLs which - when clicked - all lead me, via some fleeting glimpse of some kind of aggregator / portal thing (see I don’t even know the words for it) called Shop Online to TJFormal in the USA.

I’ll declare right now that I don’t know whether you know that some of your traffic comes from my content.

TJFormal USA, if you’re reading this, I don’t know your set up. Maybe you’ve signed up to Shop Online and part of the deal is they promise you increased traffic. And since the URLs in the picture above all route through ShopOnline

maybe they’re responsible for lifting my blog content and using it to bring you customers. Maybe some complete stranger is doing it for no other reason than they can. Who knows? I don’t. All I can tell you is what it looks like. Spammy.

What I do know is that it uses my content to drive traffic to you - oh, and that the traffic you get from that is pretty worthless.

Why? Because it’s unqualified, it’s overseas and because ironically, the post it’s lifted from is all about online scamming :-)

Funny how the internet works.
