I’m sure you realized what you are doing here. If not, let me spell it to you — SPAM. So, what’s this you’re spamming about?
Since it started last February, FarmOut Central InTouch Inc. currently has three clients from the US and is now working on an outsourcing deal with another client. From three seats, it now has 20 seats operating on two shifts.
“These (clients) are small firms and their needs are small which is why we believe we are a perfect match for them,†said Wilson Chua, president of Dagupan City-based ISP Bitstop Network Services Inc., which invested in FarmOut. (source GlobalPinoy
I guess we have ourselves here a first in Philippine blogging, eh? But please, to spam your way to Philipine cyberspace is no way to make an entrace. I’ve already deleted over a dozen comments here so don’t bother adding more. (and your IP shows you’re from Bitstop so it’s clear now that this is an inside job.) To spam here on my blog and over at PTB is the worst thing you could have done. See, if people search for your company on the net, they’ll end up on this blog entry and realize you’re just one sucker of a spammer. How’s that for a PR?
How about making yourselves usefull and get a legit ad campign on AdWords or check out our low-cost ad placement at Pinoy.Tech.Blog.

Does someone know when the replacement iphone operating system being provided?
ang pangit sa farmout.walang kwenta ang training dun noh…pagbabayarin ka lang then wala ring mapuntahan ang pinagbayad mo kasi wala ka ring job n babagsakan.
I had emails from two of the owners of Farmout and they apologized for the indicent.
Apparently, they did order their agents to search for sites and blogs which discuss Philippine call centers and leave a comment or two about their new company.
They did admit that the comments that were being posted on our blogs are already “spam comments” and have told their agents to stop doing this.
Funny thing, really. I got a similar comment the other day, and it was for an old blog post. It looked specific to my article as well, and I was wondering whether or not it qualified as spam.
It could be, I suppose, that some of the spammers are getting frustrated at their inability to get much of a response from the blogging community. That could be why they’re aggressively “attacking” certain blogs with bot-based comments, and why they’re posting single pieces of spam on others. The resulting complaints and desultory responses are technically a form of acknowledgement, after all.
I hope they understand nofollow ;)
And I think they are now happy you featured Farmout here in you blog @-)
Tracking back (trackbacks don’t seem to be working well between our blogs, Yuga!).
My post here: Comment Spam from FarmOut Central Intouch.
They even tried to register at PinoyBlog to spread more spam evil. *dang*
They search for call center blogs in Google and manually cut & paste the same lame plugs for farmout.ph. I checked out the affiliate blogs like Bistop and BoxPH and left a message about the farmout.ph comment spams. Hope they’ll act on it.
I`m currently doing and enhancing a spam filter. Currently, it works very fine in BBlog (blog script) and filter out 100% of my regular spammers. I`m trying to expand it on wordpress script. Maybe I can release it before the end of this month and share it with you guys.
My very noble objective in doing this is “to make this spammers kiss their own ass”. bwahahaha….
@ Manuel
Yes, around that time. I also foudn out they were spamming PTB as well but most of the comments were posted here.
@ Fleeb
Looks like Bitstop is one of the proponents of this new company.
They’re not even using a href.
So does that mean they’re not technically capable of simple HTML? ;)

You also experienced it today, Abe? Was it also around 4pm?
I don’t know what they’re trying to achieve. Backlinks? Or maybe they’re targetting people who read blog comments?
Oh well. ;-)
