mp3difyit is being spammed on YouTube

Yesterday, we featured an article about mp3dify, which was a website that directed to mp3ify.com. This website allows users to convert any YouTube videos to mp3 files that are playable on iPods, mp3 players, and most computers.

However, it appears that this website is being spammed heavily on YouTube via comment spam. The spammer is using domain names similar to mp3ify.com, to redirect to the site. Yesterday it was mp3dify.com, and today it is mp3difyit.com.

We don’t like making assumptions, but there is no reason to spam this site unless you are the site owner. It appears as though the owner of mp3ify.com is attempting to use YouTube to advertise his website free of charge, but doesn’t want his domain name to get shut down. Because of this, it appears as though he is purchasing similar domain names, and telling people on YouTube to search for it in Google.

For example, the current YouTube spam comment says, “wow if you google mp3difyit you’ll find the fastest 256k mp3 download site to get this song.”

When you search Google for “mp3difyit”, the first result comes up to mp3ify.com. It’s just a sneaky way of spamming and making it look as though you aren’t really spamming your website. If you are against spam, avoid this site. If the owner is willing to use illegal means to advertise his website, who knows what else he is doing.
