It’s About Time
It looks like HIT Entertainment finally realized the train wreck (pun intended) it had over its licensee’s recall and posted something about it on Tuesday (at least that is the date of the release.) Specifically they mention that they’ve asked operators of the “Day Out With Thomas” events to discontinue sales of the affected products.
The real sad thing is it took me quite a while to to find the actual release on an actual HIT Entertainment web site. I originally came across it on some splog (spam + blog) looking site called “Lead Maverick” which offers a “Search Engine Marketing Tool.” The release had been posted several times a day over the past two days by a number of users, including “RC2.” Smells like Google Bombing to me, but then again, I’m not an SEO guy (who Jeff Attwood eloquently referred to as the new pornographers of the web.)

First thank you for reporting on this. Second, Lead Maverick IS NOT A SPLOG. As the creator I can appreciate the confusion. Very simply put, Lead Maverick is an article directory service designed to help authors generate leads from their content; through search engines. Unlike SPLOG, we include the authors email, website and even their telephone number. Granted some may choose to use it for SPLOG, the vast majority of our community are serious business owners and PR professionals that use our tool to help inform people. The reason that we use SEO techniques is to help draw attention.
Thanks again for your post and I am glad that we did help you find what you are looking for (which is why we created the program; is it really splog when you found what you where looking for? No viagra ads …right?)
I stand corrected then.
