We got approached by the same group of people from bitcoingg. Our links on their site do not work either, and we think the idea of us being there without working links is bitcoingg trying to catch our "brand" search traffic and convert it into other operators, such as bitoomba. It is a very common black hat practice. What is funny is we got approached by another directory site few weeks ago, which also asked for a similar advertising fee as these guys, and again had bitoomba on top of them, and was again brand new with no traffic, claiming to have traffic from SEO. Both bitcoingg and the other directory claimed their traffic comes from SEO, but it is impossible, because we rank #1 and we don't see the traffic they describe and they don't have any real rankings. It smells like a scam to get some bitcoins out of the gambling site operators.
This was the previous website that contacted us. As you can see they claim 200 visits per day from pure SEO.
Same layout, same owner as the one approaching us now.

Introducing - Bitoomba
June 28, 2013, 12:13:39 AM
Just 10 days after the launch of the site, this particular group is working with them exclusively..
Now what is their actual relation with bitoomba we don't know, but bitoomba also tried to schill the forum with fake accounts in the beginning, so it wouldn't be much of a surprise if they are involved in these directories
Just way too many coincidences.
