Z-solutions Inc. Banned

Posted by User ImageMelo

I just finished writing a post at Kabalyero.com when, after viewing the post, I noticed an Entrecard looking widget banner on one of my Project Wonderful Ad Box. The Entrecard looking widget banner or, let’s just call it, Fake Entrecard Widget belongs to the already infamous Z-solutions Inc. I said infamous because this fake entrecard widget thing involving Z-solutions Inc. has also been discussed in Entrecard’s forums and members have been complaining about it. Up to now, Entrecard members are being tricked into clicking on Z-solutions Inc.’s banner because it looks exactly like a real Entrecard Widget and by clicking on it they think they are dropping on it but they are taken to Z-solutions Inc.’s website instead.

Z-solution Inc.'s Fake Entrecard Widget
(See the big letter Z, that’s a fake Entrecard widget looking PW banner by Z-solutions Inc.)

This is a CHEAP tactic by Z-solutions Inc. in getting people to visit their website. They are so desperate for traffic that they have to rely on trickery and deception to get it. This kind of deception only shows that they really don’t care about their readers, visitors and anybody in the Blogosphere specially Entrecard, that the only thing they care about is your traffic, your clicks and the money that they’ll earn from it. I will be very, very amazed and disappointed if there are people who support this kind of deception, trickery or cheap tactic by Z-solutions Inc.

What Can We Do?

As Entrecard and Project Wonderful members, there is nothing much we can do except ban this particular advertiser from advertising in any of our Ad Boxes. I guess we can also warn other Entrecard members through our blogs because it seems that they are targeting Entrecard member blogs that have Project Wonderful Ad Boxes. I’m sure, not everyone is aware of this cheap tactic by Z-solutions Inc. and getting the word out would at least inform other members about it and expose Z-solutions Inc. for their deception.

As for me, I have banned Z-solution Inc.’s Project Wonderful account which is owned by Diogen Network from advertising in any of my Ad Boxes. Also, if you look at the name of the owner it has the word “network” in it which could mean that this Project Wonderful advertiser could have websites other than Z-solutions Inc. that is advertising in Project Wonderful.

Update:

How To Ban Z-solutions Inc. Or Any PW Member From Advertising On You?

  • Log in to your PW account
  • On the Top Menu under “selling ad space” click on Bids on my ad boxes
  • Scan the page that loads and look for Z-solutions Inc. (look into succeeding pages if there are more than one page)
  • If found click on the Bidder Info which is on the left side of the Ad
  • On the page that loads click on the “Marked as banned” button

That’s it, he is banned from purchasing any ad box from you! Also, don’t forget to cancel his bid.

    I noticed that ad when I dropped a card on your site yesterday. He is banned from my site as well and I even wrote similar post more than a week ago after being victimized by this cheat several times.

    Thanks for writing this post. It is making more bloggers aware of this advertiser’s cheap tactics.

    Yes, I admit I fell for this trick a few times. Initially I thought I clicked their ad and missed the Entrecard link. The second time I did it, I realized the trick. It is a pretty interesting hack, but I can see how you wouldn’t want to be associated with such. Always better to take the high road.
