    I have no idea who this Madhu is but he joined up with Johnny Nguyen (WPJohnny) to trash-talk me on Facebook for some reason... then I searched Google and realized he was an Indian shill from Cloudways. I'm still waiting for a single trash-talker in the WordPress community to NOT be from one of these gangs that go around posting fake reviews of their competitors while illegally endorsing brands with affiliate links etc... sad and pathetic. Nearly all the few dozen people who trash-talk me are always from: Cloudways, Rank Math, Perfmatters, JohnnyVPS... and "helping" each other's spam/fraud operations, and nearly all of them are from India, too. And then they (predictably) call me racist for pointing out that fact... it's the only response they have! Maybe stop being the #1 source of spam and fake reviews in the world? They hate the fact that my (free) software is better than their (paid) software... so all they do is hate all day. Read More

    I think Mustaasam is quite impressive. His English and communication skills are very good, and he is a fantastic example of good will and transparency in the WordPress and internet marketing communities. Unfortunately so many spammers and scammers reside in Pakistan these days, giving the country a bad name in many online circles. It seems Mustaasam is a great example of breaking barriers re: online reputation, perhaps a role model even. I hope he continues this trend, and does not give in to the tremendous pressure to be dishonest in this industry. Cloudways was lucky to have him (and he balanced out their somewhat spammy reputation), but I'm glad he is venturing out to other projects... Read More

    Yet another Pakistani who pretends to be from the UAE, uses fake aliases to hide his identity from the massive email spam campaign he runs for BionicWP... who pays for fake (illegal) positive reviews across review sites and WordPress blogs... the works. Don't believe any positive reviews of BionicWP... fraudulent marketing from Abdul, just like he did when working for Cloudways. Except now he is being funded by American Michael Borgelt. What a joke Read More

    I really like Neil, he has been doing no-nonsense blogging for several years in the WordPress community. However, he is one of many bloggers who continue to publicly (illegally) endorse certain products and services without any legal disclaimers, including Runcloud, Beaver Builder, Cloudways, WP Migrate DB Pro, Ultimate Add-ons from Brainstorm Force, Wholesale Suite, and more. It's disappointing that so many otherwise decent people continue to deceive ignorant readers who don't realize guys like Neil are being paid to recommend products. Read More

    Max is yet another typical affiliate marketing shill who will take money to "recommend" brands and services even if he doesn't use them, without any legally-required Disclosure of his biased reviews. For example he decided to dishonestly review JohnnyVPS for a known WordPress scammer, Johnny Nguyen, calling that fake VPS hosting service the "fastest wordpress hosting" available, despite the fact that Max himself hosts his website on Cloudways (affiliate link included). "From my experience, JVPS provides the best performance out of all managed WordPress hosts. Just read their comparison reports comparing their performance to all the other managed WordPress hosts including Cloudways, WP Engine, Flywheel and SiteGround." You can't make this stuff up... literally quoted from his review itself! Another phony blogger adding zero value to the web. Read More

    From my experience Mike seems like a really nice guy in the WordPress community but unfortunately yet another blogger/affiliate marketer who illegally promotes various brands like Cloudways, Perfmatters, GeneratePress without any Disclosure they are paying him to do so. I hope he can be more transparent about his partnerships, because his content seems really high quality overall. Read More

    *The vast majority of people listed in this database are just “normal” business people, therefore no negative connotation is insinuated nor should misdeeds be assumed based on existing in our business directory. Our underlying goal is exposing misdeeds and fraud, but to accomplish this we often must first identity “honest” business people. This is because of things like similar names, impersonation, copyright infringement, and other reasons. Thus, the vast majority of people in our database are not being accused of anything shady. For this reason, profiles are now “noindexed” by default until comments exist on any given profile, since many of them are unnotable.
