The Guy Behind the Fake AI Halloween Parade Listing Says You’ve Got It All Wrong
An SEO agency owner says he is “very depressed” after one of his AI-assisted Halloween parade listings misled revelers in Dublin, Ireland….
I appreciate that.
We own this mistake.
So your name is Nazir Ali, but when you say “we”—
We are not going to give you any personal information that might be harmful for us. Everyone is writing about us, and they are telling us that we are scammers.
Would you be comfortable telling me about the reports that you’re based in Pakistan? Is that true?
We hire some of the content creators, and one is from Pakistan, and others are from some other countries. But I don’t want to actually reveal their nationalities. People will blame the country if I say I’m from Dubai, then whenever you write an article, if you say that a guy from Pakistan, a guy from India, guy from Ireland, a guy from the UAE, it actually hurts some of the citizens of that country.
Would you be comfortable telling me how long you’ve had this Halloween website?
You will be shocked to know that we ranked our site in three months on the Google first page.
So you’ve only been in operation for three months?
Yes.
Why holiday events?
It’s a huge topic, but only for one day. So it is easy for us to generate revenue for that one day—then we don’t have to put in effort throughout the year. We just do work for three or four months, and then we’ll get the revenue.
Could you explain more about your business model. How do you make money?
Our business model is Google Ads. Google Ads and affiliate marketing.
Has this made you reconsider the ways that you operate? Will you change how you use AI going forward?
It is our mistake. We should double check it. Not only double, but triple check it. One more thing I want to add is that people should not consider Google as the standard. Google is just a search engine, and any person can post anything on it. Don’t just believe it. Just cross check!
Are you concerned that Google will downrank you now?
Definitely. We are expecting Google will derank.
Is there anything you could try to do to prevent that?
No, there is nothing. And this is because of all the misinformation provided by the journalists. They don’t actually know what our intentions are, but they are showing that our intentions are wrong. But right now the guys are very depressed. Listen to me. If we wanted to scam people, we can easily do so by selling fake tickets. But we never mentioned any tickets on the That would be very simple, but we didn’t even mention the ticket thing.
