Hi,

It was written in oddly phrased English, including phrases like "the buying of stock photography supplies" . I didn't know there were such things as "stock photography supplies". So, that's why it came across as spam to me.

Ah, I get it. It's one of those sites where you open a "store", branding it with your name, basically getting some sort of commission for driving people to buy stuff from the company selling the products.

Funny, as I was writing, I thought - this reminds me of that scam MLM my in-laws got into. What was the name of it? YTB - your travel business. Lo and behold, turns out the zamzuu link ends up at ytb.com. They're sort of the Amway of the internet. Well, hope it's working for you.

You should be clear what you're offering when you post things like that.
