Cash Structured Settlement Splog

If you want to learn about structured settlements or even structured settlement factoring don't go to John Jonas's website www.cashstructuredsettements.com, which was previously highlighted in our 12-8-2005 Structured Settlement Advertsing Wall of Shame. Mr. Jonas (click left for a "mug shot" with his "splogger in training"), based out of the State of Utah is perhaps the biggest splogger in America with respect to topics using structured settements. From John Jonas'  picture he seems like a wholesome LDS* family guy but he's not helping consumers trying to find out information about structured settlements.  Most links on cashstructuredsettlements.com lead to more uselsss gibberish**. If you happen upon John Jonas' website www.cashstructuredsettlements.com and you click on any of the pay per click ads displayed you will simply be putting money into John Jonas' pocket and encouraging Jonas to continue providing useless repetitive information confusing to consumers. So don't click on any of ads appearing on www.cashstructuredsettlements.com unless you want John Jonas to keep splogging.  If you're looking for information just remember the mantra "there's no bonus from Jonas"

* LDS=Latter Day Saints (Mormon)

** example buried in the meta tags and the title of one of www.cashstructuredsettlements.com sub directory web pages "Make the best of your Structured Settlement — Peachtree Settlement Funding Sold"  Peachtree Settlement Funding is a factoring company. Making the best of our structured settlement has absolutely nothing to do with Peachtree Settlement Funding or Peachtree Settlement Funding being sold.

    The problem with these spogs is they are like grey hairs. As soon as John exposes one of them, then two more seem to pop up. As bad as the sploggers are that produce this inaccruate crap, they would not be doing this if they were not getting paid. The companies who advertise on these sites are the ones who are encouraging – sponsoring – funding these sites to continue. John is doing a great job of exposing these sites and the people who produce them, but maybe we should dig deeper and hold the sponsors of these sites accountable as well. Lord knows the search engines (GOOGLE & YAHOO) are not going to stop this because it puts money in their pockets as well.

    A number of these sploggers are misusing RSS feeds and taking copyrighted materials, violating trade and service marks. These are being duly noted and archived and, in my opinion sooner or later there is going to be some litigation and perhaps some regulation like CAN-SPAM.

    John Jonas his partner Dan Goggins and two other sploggers were sued by Microsoft in aggressive effort by that company to clamp down on “cybersquatters” and typosquatters”. The Complaint, story and commentary are on this blog in posts from 8/22/2006-08/23/2006. Stay tuned!
