Sorry, but it's just a load of made up threads with ads shoved in between the posts and lots of odd, spammy link games going on.

Here's a typical example:

" I need a site like jewelrymall.com, except instead of being about jewelry it will be about a topic related to design and furniture (specific topic will be given out when project awarded to you). As you... (Budget: $300-1500, Jobs: Copywriting, Market Research, Project Management, Proofreading, SEO)."

Another:

"I'd like to have a script that will allow to submit links related to a certain topic. The information that is submitted is Headline, URL, Description, Short Description. There will also be a password required to submit these links. The output will consist of a listing of the links by ordered added. It will display the Headline that will link to the URL (in a new window), the description on the next line, the date/time added and the number of views it's had."

And another:

" Hi I am looking to start a new rental & sales website. It should allow people and estate agents to post their property for sale or for rent. The website will will initially cater for UK & European market but should have flexibility to work with any international country. So flexibility is important. Below are the things the the website should have 1. The website should have a registration & login area where the users register and then login to maintain their property listings 2."

Another:

" We need someone who can quickly troubleshoot a problem that we are having in linking to two websites from a portal page. It is probably a 5 minute job for someone knowledgeable in html. Please therefore bid accordingly... (Budget: $30-100, Jobs: Website Design)"

And so on.

Pretty much the whole of the site is Google bait to generate revenue on ads.

How come nobody else noticed?
