News Farticles Move Over To Television Advertising

Tuesday, Oct 20th, 2009 by Jonathan Volk

If you’ve never heard of a thing called a Farticle, it stands for fake article. These fake articles usually resemble news sites and are used to sell CPA offers and work very well from what I hear.

They are slightly deceptive in the fact that the reader thinks they are reading legitimate news from a news website. Here is a common example of what one would look like (blurred text to prevent copying):

The other day, I was sitting and watching television with my beautiful wife during dinner. We like to watch the news while we eat.

This commercial played and at the end I had to do a double take. Thanks to DVR, I was able to rewind this commercial (about 4-5 times haha). I decided to record this onto my phone to keep for future reference.

What do you think about this commercial?
