Luhasr and His $5000 Plus a Month Micro Niche Website Scam

Luhasr and His $5000 Plus a Month Micro Niche Website Scam
Have you ever visited the Blackhatworld.com Internet forum?

It's an Internet marketing forum that itself has faced allegations of infecting people's computers with spyware in the past. Whatever the truth is, Blackhatworld.com can be a serious dangerous place with a host of unscrupulous users selling computer and Internet services that will most likely leave you out of pocket.

A popular service is the so-called micro niche website, where a registered user will for a relatively low price create small website that focuses on an obscure subject, meaning it's more likely to receive a good amount of search engine traffic and in turn earn you some money through ads.

Most of these micro niche website are sold for as little as $30-$50, with the seller claiming you can make anywhere from 10 to 5000+ dollars every single month in their sales pitch.

Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? And it is.

One micro niche website service that caught my attention is from a user who calls himself Luhasr, and has been offering his micro niche AdSense websites since November 2011, along with other (crappy) services.

Luhasr through his sales pitch claims a "$49 investment can put you into the most exciting, easiest business ever invented". In fact, at the time of publishing this article, Luhasr is offering his ready-made AdSense services for just $34.5 for one site.

So, what will your $34.5 investment get you back in return? Well, according to him, 5000+ dollars (or at least up to) a month to be precise. Holy crap! Forget about putting your money into a high interest savings account, Luhasr and his micro niche AdSense websites are the way to go! NOT.

Update: Luhasr has rebranded his micro niche website package, which is now called: "Fill your Adsense Coffer in 2017 with Micro Niche Websites". This is essentially the same scam, but it doesn't mention anything about making 5000+ dollars per month from your tiny $34.5 investment. Please note that links on this page may no longer direct you to the appropriate post that I highlighted. This is because the URL structure of Luhasr thread has been changed. If I can, I will try to update the links in due course.

Now how do I know that Luhasr and his micro niche website service is a complete pile of crap, that will most likely leave you out of pocket?

Well, lets start by looking at exactly what you will get for your $49 (now $34.5) investment. If you look at his sales page it's extremely vague and doesn't actually tell you what you're getting for your money. For that you have to sign up to Blackhatworld.com and leave a message on his thread that you want to see a sample or want to see more details etc.

Strangely, and very suspiciously, he won't actually reply to you publicly on the forum, but will send you a private message with another sales pitch with a link or two, showcasing his crappy sites that will supposedly make you a very wealthy person for just a small investment.

His sales pitch via private message is as followed:


The sample sites he sent me via private message were howtogainfollowersoninstagram.com and apothecaryjarshq.net. The first site, howtogainfollowersoninstagram.com was extremely poorly written (just 2 articles) and had clearly been copied and spun from an article site. The second site was fairly decent, but upon closer inspection, it had been copied like-for-like from a free blogspot blog called apothecaryjars.blogspot.com. So, you'll either end up with a tiny little website with 2 articles that are almost impossible to read, or you'll end up with duplicate contents which will most likely get penalised by Google or worse, get your AdSense account banned for copyright infringement.

Please note: the sample sites he will send you will change from time to time as has he most likely sells them to an unfortunate customer.

The last crappy sample sites I received were: http://www.foreheadwrinkles.org and http://www.cycloneseparator.org

April 2017 update. Sample sites are now: http://bobcatrental.org and http://bestwirelessdogfence.net

Back to his private sales pitch...

He claims that he will seek out an obscure keyword that people search for online. Something that has a decent traffic volume, but has very little competition, essentially. Let me tell you something now. I've been in the Internet game for a very long time now and have developed easily 30+ websites for myself and have had success with them in the past. Now it's a completely different ball game. Google and Bing/Yahoo have changed dramatically over the last 3 or 4 years to the point that it has become extremely difficult, almost borderline impossible for you to rank any kind website, even those that focus on an obscure subject. Google and Bing are regularly changing their search engine algorithm to keep out poor quality/spam websites, including micro niche sites and exact match domains. From an English search point of view, Google and Bing are only really interested in aged established websites, while new sites have to gain trust, which usually takes at least a few years. Even if a site from Luhasr did rank for a certain keyword/s, the chances are the traffic volume be so small it just wouldn't generate enough income to cover the cost of the service, let alone a domain name and web hosting.

And if it did, Google would sooner or later, do a manual review of your website to check that it met there guidelines. I'm pretty certain a website that had been made purely from spun contents would not pass a manual or even an automated review and would be removed from Google search. You can read more on how Google de-indexes poor quality sites further down the page.

And let's be totally serious, why the hell would Google or any other search engine pay any real attention to website that has a measly 2 (yes two) articles. Out of the hundreds of millions or even billions websites now available on the Internet how many websites have you come across in the last couple of years that have just 2 articles on them? None, I bet. In fact, here's a thread from blackhatworld.com showing exactly what Google has been doing since 2011 to low quality websites that have very little pages and very little quality.

I should also point out that you have to do a lot of the hard work yourself such as buying a domain name, web hosting, and setting up WordPress before you hand over your username and password details to Luhasr. If you can do all of those things you might as well invest the $50 (or whatever he's charging) in some software that spins articles, because that's all essentially Luhasr is doing.

But Luhasr Has Lots of Positive Reviews, Doesn't He?

Umm, well, not really. Luhasr (just like any scammer) loves to post an excessive amount of positive reviews when he replies on his thread. Are these positive reviews genuine? Well, some of them may be, but if you look closely the majority of them are from at least several years back, probably before Google really clamped down on low quality micro niche website's. And even if those reviews are genuine, nobody is saying, look, I just made 3, 4 or even $5000 in the last month, just as Luhasr advertised with my micro niche website that has just 2 articles.

Bogus Positive Reviews

Let's move on to the fake positive reviews that I know Luhasr himself is posting on Blackhatworld.com.

How do I know this? Well, despite Luhasr sales pitches appearing like they have been written by a person who speaks, or the very least types English fluently, he himself most definitely does not. Luhasr uses the email address paybhw@gmail.com, and from the footprint he has left on the Internet he is from India and even though India has English as one of their official languages, his English is piss poor and has a distinctive style, where he constantly types sentences without leaving a space, every time he uses a period.

He also constantly copies and pastes "Am waiting for your response and order" every time somebody asked a question on his thread. Would you trust somebody who doesn't publicly engage with potential buyers and constantly copies and pastes pidgin English to build you a quality website? I wouldn't.

If you look closely through Luhasr micro niche website thread, there are plenty of unsatisfied customers who are basically saying their website isn't ranking and isn't making them a single dime.

Luhasr, true to form, doesn't publicly engage or offer any real useful advice other than the usual "you'll be all right, "or I can help you with that, check your PM". He more than likely just directs people to existing threads on Blackhatworld.com that offers advice on ranking a website.

Almost every time a negative comment about Luhasr service is posted on his thread a positive one magically appears from a new user that has very little posts to their name. That's where Luhasr cocked up a little while back, as I discovered a user who went by the name of "outlooker" who, despite being a BHW member for only a few weeks and claimed he had no idea how to make money or run a website with his first post suddenly became an expert on how to rank a website provided by Luhasr in just the space of a few weeks, and even posted an AdSense screenshot of his earnings.

Surprise, surprise, Luhasr quickly thanked outlooker and posted another one of his sales pitches. While clicking on outlooker's public profile and viewing his posts I noticed something very, very fishy. He was deliberately bumping up his post count by copying and pasting random things from the Internet that were related to the post he was replying to. This initially kind of made him look like a pro. When he did decide to use his fingertips, his typing style was absolutely 100% identical to Luhasr, i.e. piss poor pidgin English that couldn't leave a space when they use a period. I publicly replied to outlooker and politely asked him or her how they became an expert in such a short time.

Did I get a reply back? Of course not.

It's the same thing all the time, every time a serious question about the legitimacy of his service, or a bad review comes in some random user either asks for a sample or gets all giddy and starts praising his micro niche website service. And don't be fooled by screenshots of supposedly AdSense earnings, as there are plenty of websites out there allow you to create fake AdSense earning screenshots.

Luhasr Even Begs Customers Not to Post Negative Reviews

I've only actually been monitoring Luhasr thread for 3 or 4 months tops, but in that time I've come across plenty of dissatisfied customers. One of these was "Galleta", who posted the following:

"Hello community!

So after luhasr begged me to edit my review/feedback and remove it fully, he did not fullfill my expectations at all (even after telling me so multiple times), so I will now post my full review about his service.

I purchased one page of him. I have to say, I'm kind of a noob in SEO/IM, so I was glad for having this "cheap" chance to get to know the whole thing more and he was also kind of helpful with his tips/guide etc. (at the beginning)

After a quite long period of time my order was finished, I was not really informed about it and thought he would be still working on the blog (everyday for around a week I saw very slowly progress taking place, like one post / image a day). After I asked him, he said it would be finished...

All was fine (logo, design), though the content seemed a bit "poor", meaning every menu point contained the keyword again and again (seemed like auto-generated?) and unlogical ordered. If I would be a visitor of the site, I don't think it would help me at all to find the desired information, also because of the unlogical order of menu/categories, I would get tired fast of finding the content needed and would leave the site.

Except the one blog post, he embeded some youtube videos (without any text/description around it), one of those was a very weird guy showing only his face for about 7 minutes and talking about something he never showed / did ... (also very bad ratings in youtube).

Thought to myself, well, for that price you can't really expect much more.

Until some days ago... When I googled one of the methods explained in the article (a shortcut word in a tech niche, of which I did not know the meaning), I found the same article already in the first 5 results in google!! It is nearly 1:1 copied from ezinearticles DOT com (just some phrases changed position and some words were replaced with worse synonyms (not making sense), I guess that is also the reason why it is hard to read), from an Expert Author in that niche.

I'm scared about Copyright issues, as he also told me I can do it all on real name etc. And if AdSense would not approve the site, just resubmit it until they do ?

I checked again his whole offer here, and really, he does not say anywhere it would be unique content, so I guess everything vent fair here, and as I said, there is not much more you can expect for that price. The Design is ok (probably the best about the whole site), but you will have to invest much more time to get it all right and logical ordered.
In the end this website costed me so much time, I could had done it from the beginning myself, except for the Keyword research and the logo.

Also he installed many plugins of which about half of them were not even supported/checked by my wordpress version and last time updated in 2007 ! After hours of research I was able to replace them all with other newer / supported / better plugins serving the same purpose.
On page SEO was very poor.

I contacted him again in Skype days ago and waited like the whole day for some reply / explanation from his side, but nothing happened. Then I posted my old feedback and he contacted me already after some minutes begging me to delete all of my review, saying he is very sorry and explaining that he is outsourcing content creation to a big company. And promising he would add for free two more articles.
He did so the next day and they were kind of "OK", though a bit repititve. In the process of adding these two new articles he "accidently" deleted the old article, even though he told me I should keep it and it is no problem. (luckily I had a backup )

I guess except for finding a nice niche/keyword and a nice Logo (I hope this is not copied as well...) all of his work can be easily done by anyone himself (also inside wordpress there is not much customized, seems all pretty standard to me), but for noobs like me it is probably worth it to get to know the whole IM thing and how business is made in in BHW marketplace. ;-)

And, according to the other reviews here, I am looking forward in earning some money with this at least (as said the keyword/niche really seems good), and maybe even place another order. But I will be prepared with all I have, that I will receive duplicated content. Maybe it only happened, because my account looks like I'm a noob and I also told him so... I don't know.

Funny thing I saw today this thread here on BHW, a guy selling a script that automatically creates WP-Sites (fully automatized), they seem to look better than what I got here. Everyone may think about this what he wants, but for me the case is clear.

So this was my honest review of luhasr offer, and also my first here. Would be interested in hearing others' thoughts about this and how to deal with the copyright issue!

Thank you.

Have a nice day!"

That review wasn't too good, was it? Overall, I think this pretty much sums up what you'll get if you buy one of Luhasr's services.

Luhasr's Amazon Affiliate Website Package Doesn't Sound Too Promising Either

As I mentioned earlier, Luhasr offers several (crappy) services on blackhatworld.com. One of these includes an Amazon affiliate website. This thread is nowhere near as popular as his ready-made AdSense package, despite advertising a potential income of $500-$5000 per month. Upon reading some of the reviews I came across this one, which pretty much proves that at the very least, this service of his is a complete and utter waste of money.

So there you go. Amazon does not tolerate Webmasters creating or automatically generating low quality websites that promotes their products. If you bought one of these ready-made Amazon affiliate websites from Luhasr, it will most likely get reviewed by Amazon and blacklisted because it offers no value to its users. This is exactly why Google and other search engines have tighten their belt and clamp down on individuals such as Luhasr, because they are literally filling the Internet with useless crap.

Has Luhasr suspended or removed his Amazon affiliate service now that it has been deemed useless? Nope.

May 2017 update: The Amazon service now appears to be dead and is no longer available.

No Central Website, No Terms, No Conditions, No Contact Details, Luhasr Lives off the Grid

You would think that any genuine and legitimate website creator would have their very own website, not just showcasing their work, but having standard information such as terms and conditions and contact details.

Naturally, when you buy a service or product from a legitimate website on the Internet, there are terms and conditions you need to agree to and contact details, just in case you need after-care and advice.

Luhasr has none of these and effectively lives off the grid. In fact, I had extreme trouble due to blackhatworld.com censorship (more on that later) when asking the very question. It took 3 attempts until Luhasr stopped reporting my legitimate question to the corrupt BHW moderators, and eventually decided to offer a reply.

It went like this:


http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/web-design/374935-5000-mo-google-friendly-micro-niche-adsense-websites-micro-niche-upgraded-198.html#post8807375 

He says that he has proper terms and conditions to build a site for his services and that's a reason he's been on BHW for the last 4 years. Umm, no Luhasr, that's not proper terms and conditions and you're selling your service (virtually anonymous from India) on a corrupt and highly censored forum.

Notice as well how Luhasr wants you to respond to his email address regarding questions or concerns rather than posting them on BHW. Why? Doesn't he want an open and honest discussion regarding his massive moneymaking website package?

He claims that he will give you a 100% refund if you're not satisfied, but that's simply his word and there is no guarantee that will happen. As for PayPal, yes, you can make a claim if you believe you have been deceived or fraudulently ripped off, but since you bought the service without actually agreeing to any terms and conditions PayPal may not agree with you and your money will forever remain in Luhasr hands.

When you also click on the "buy now" button on Luhasr 5000+ a month thread, you're taken to PayPal page with the email address "shameedr@yahoo.com" which is completely different from the one he is using to sell his services. There's no way to check whether this email address is verified or belongs to him, which is just a perfect example you should only ever by services or products from legitimate individuals/companies with physical contact details.

Your Ready-Made Site May Even Get De-Indexed by Google

While browsing the Google product forums recently I came across a post where user is asking why his site got de-indexed from Google search, despite his site containing unique contents. He received a message via his Webmaster search console, that there was a "Major Spam Problem". The site in question was called healthmelange.com, that focuses on health-related subjects, which is exactly the kind of site these ready-made sellers like Luhasr will sell you.

Upon examining healthmelange.com, it initially looked like a good, well designed website. However, as soon as you clicked on an article and started reading it, it quickly became apparent that the contents was extremely poorly written and had clearly spun from an article site. The site also kept on repeating the same keywords over and over again in the hope that it would fool search engines into believing it was a quality site about a certain subject.

It just goes to show that no matter how good a website looks, it is contents which is king, and if that isn't up to scratch, then your site may be automatically detected by Google and swiftly removed from their search results, meaning you'll never get a single visitor from the world's biggest search engine.

Censorship, Censorship and Even More Censorship

I would personally never buy any service from Blackhatworld.com because they do allow users/customers to fully express their disappointment or concerns towards a service that's been sold through the forum. To my surprise, you can only leave one mildly negative comment towards a service you have bought or are suspect about. I received a warning and a threat that my account would be disabled after mildly criticising Luhasr micro niche website service, by simply replying to a user who said they had only made a few cents in the last month by replying back in a friendly manner and saying, you will not cover your domain costs, at that rate. So if you're wondering why buyers are not regularly commenting on a service that they have been disappointed with it's because they can only do it once and then that's it.

In fact, (small update) Blackhatworld.com is even worse when it comes to censorship than I initially thought. Recently I've been asking a series of sensible questions when it comes to the legitimacy of the services being sold on the forum, such as the ones Luhasr is selling. My questions were swiftly deleted, even though they were civilised and about the legitimacy of the service and the advertised earning potential. Blackhatworld.com really doesn't want any of the services being sold through their website being put under the microscope. Not one.

Blackhatworld.com charges sellers to create threads that promote their services, so it's in their interest to keep them happy, even if they are misleading and don't deliver what is advertised. Blackhatworld.com regularly has threads started by users who have been ripped off by sellers using the forum, which just goes to show you that it can be a cesspit full of unscrupulous individuals.

 

A Prime Example of the Crap BHW Moderators Approve of

If you thought that BHW had rigourous rules in place when it comes to selling services or ventures, then just take a look at this ridiculous offer.

http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/joint-ventures/832240-my-hosting-your-website-70-30-profit-split-12-months.html

A user is proposing that an experienced Webmaster builds a website for them that makes a nice income, and in turn will split the profits 70/30 for the 1st year. After one year the Webmaster who built the site is then cut out of the deal and will received nothing with 100% of the profits going to the person who owns the domain.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous offers I've ever heard of, yet a BHW moderator approved of it without any questions whatsoever.

Internet Services from India Don't Have a Good Reputation

It would be unfair for me to say that all Internet services provided via Indian citizens are pure garbage, but the truth is Luhasr home country India is the spam capital of the world when it comes to Internet related services. If you have shared or made your email address public, then you will inevitably receive spam and scams emails, and if you do a little bit of research in most cases, those emails come either from India or Africa. One of the main reasons why so much spam and ready-made website packages come from India is because people can make quick and and healthy buck. Average monthly wages in India are just below $300 so if you could make yourself $30-$50 by just creating a crappy website with some automated article spinning software then you can live a relative life of luxury with minimal work. You can see why Luhasr is so keen to sell his micro niche AdSense websites as he can make some serious money and knows because he sells it virtually anonymous, on a dodgy and censored forum that he won't have to face any questions about the legitimacy of his service.

Final Verdict

I wouldn't mind if Luhasr advertised his services in a genuine and honest manner. If he said you could make anything from $.01 to $100 per month, but the figure would completely depend on yourself doing a lot of search engine optimisation and promotion, then that's fair enough.

He should also at the very least provide a website that has quality unique and grammatical correct articles, but he doesn't.

Luhasr does nothing but tell lies and relies on gullible people to buy now and ask questions later.

For example, he claims on his sales pitch that:

1. Google is making it harder for Webmasters to rank micro-niche sites
2. Google is favoring only bigger sites with authority and lot more
3. Exact match domains don't have any value
4. Your AdSense will get banned if you use it with Micro Niche Websites


The truth is, Google (and other major search engine) have made it difficult for Webmasters to rank any kind of new website, regardless of its size or subject.

The truth is, Google has been favoring big established websites for at least the last 4 or 5 years now.

The truth is, exact match domains very rarely appear on the 1st few pages of Google any more, and those that do are big established domains that have been operating for years.

The truth is, Google doesn't want their AdSense advertising platform being used on poor quality sites, and if Google did detect your poor quality side either automatically or through a manual review, then there's a real possibility your AdSense account would be banned or at the very least, your domain would be removed from their search results.

That's the honest truth, but Luhasr doesn't want you to know any of these things.

So, should you buy or consider buying his $5000 plus a month micro niche website deal? The answer is no. As always with the Internet, just use common sense and if an offer seems too good to be true then it probably is. Nobody in their right mind is going to sell you a website package that could potentially make you $5000 per month for just a $50 investment when they could do that themselves and make considerably more money, all without the hassle of dealing with customers.

The real reason why Luhasr doesn't make these "massive moneymaking" micro-niche sites for himself is because he knows they are utter waste of time, or he would have to invest a lot of time and even money in trying to build high quality backlinks, which after all the Google search engine updates is unbelievably difficult.

Maybe Luhasr has in the past provided website packages to customers that have made them a nice profit, and I'm not doubting that he doesn't put in 34.5 dollars worth of work, but the Internet has dramatically changed over the last several years and it's very difficult to rank any kind of website, especially some crappy two-page website that has nothing but spun contents on it.

If Luhasr was a genuine and quality website creator, he would have his own website detailing and showcasing his work, as well as some proper terms and conditions, you need to agree to. He has none of these and sells his services on some dodgy Internet forum. If you also do an Internet search on Luhasr and the email address he uses (paybhw@gmail.com and shameedr@yahoo.com) you can see has a history of providing poor services under different usernames on other forums.

Buy at your own risk!
