Finance site creates hoax news story to generate links to improve it's Google rank

“Online marketer Lyndon Antcliff recently helped a client achieve over 1500 inbound links in under a week with a story designed to grab attention.” The article, titled “13 Year Old Steals Dad’s Credit Card to Buy Hookers,” was and still is hosted at the authoritative looking domain Money.co.uk, which is a financial advisor and Lyndon’s client, apparently.

Details here. There's a lot of shady finance sites out there. I've been asked to host misleading text-ads in the past.
