This website was created to promote health and wellness. This is done to glorify the Father and the Son. This site belongs to God to do with as He sees fit. This site will promote the word of God.
In other words, I am only a messenger. Whomever seeks to attack Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM), through impersonation, theft or any other malicious act, know that you are not attacking me, you are attacking God. For though whatever happens to this site happens, the word of God will go forth to all the peoples of the world.
Operating content media websites is not an easy profession - just ask anyone in the business. It requires long hours devoted to topic research and content creation. By the time you see the finished product, a good writer has spent several hours preparing, drafting, editing, re-editing and finally publishing the article.
This work requires a considerable amount of patience, devotion and love for the job. Some writers create this content as a hobby, others operate for - profit websites. For profit websites monetize through a variety of means including PPC ads, affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, sponsored advertising, product launches, etc.
Because internet businesses can yield a profit, some people have decided to take an easy and dishonest route to money making: content theft for posting on made for ad (MFA) websites. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines plagiarism as the following: "to commit literary theft: present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source".
Those aren't the only bad apples on the internet, some people enjoy creating malware and spyware to infect unsuspecting computers.
As publisher and administrator of Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM) it is my responsibility to produce and publish content which is most useful to you and your family. I publish articles under the pen name "healthy_blogging" and post articles from article directories (isnare dot com, articlesbase dot com, ezinearticles dot com) and guest post submissions. The articles that you read have been carefully reviewed and vetted for accuracy and honesty.
In order to spread the word about Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM), I also submit abbreviated versions of some of my articles to article directories such as GoArticles dot com, Ezinearticles dot com, buzzle dot com, etc.
I have also noticed that dishonest parties have scraped my content for use on their own websites. I've also been contacted by spammers/scammers who wish to install bad code on the pages of Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM).
When someone operates in the dark, the deception must be brought into the light. Therefore, I've created the "Hall of Shame". This list will include the names of individuals who have scraped my content or contacted me for spam/scamming intentions against Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM).
Hall of Shame
- Josh Trent - on 29 July 2009 without permission he posted my article "Why Do Some People Give Up Before They Even Begin?" on a wordpress powered blog which he operates. Josh Trent did not provide a back link to Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM) nor did he give any noticeable credit on his website that I am the author of the content appearing on a specific page of his website.
- Carolyn Pinker - on 20 December 2011 an individual identifying herself as Carolyn Pinker contacted me to install advertising code on this website. The individual is located in the Ukraine and has been frequenting certain articles on the website then contacted me to install ad code on an unspecified "old article" on this website. When I asked the individual to provide information about the ad code such as linking information and content, as well as her Google+ profile, Twitter handle, and other verifiable information, she could not provide any information that would confirm and validate her identity as a legitimate business contact.
- Saurabh Katial - on 7 November 2012 an individual identified as Saurabh Katial posted a spam link on the Facebook fan page of Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM).

Spammers are not welcome on Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM) nor on our fan page.

- Rohan Kumar - on 21 January 2015 an individual identifying himself as Rohan Kumar contacted me via a gmail address claiming that he wanted to write paid articles that include backlinks to his site. But when I asked him for specifics i.e. the url of his website, the content of his articles, if he was an SEO agent and how he learned about Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM) I received absolutely no reply. The timing of Rohan Kumar's email coincides with an new increased volume of traffic from India where I've received a lot of spam messages from black hat SEO operators.
- Evelyn Golston - On 9 Feb. 2015 an individual identifying herself as Evelyn Golston contacted me via a gmail address claiming that she had a team of writers and wanted to write guest posts for the website. She sent this email knowing well what the policy is regarding companies seeking to get free advertising on Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM).

After responding to Evelyn Goltson's email wherein I asked her if she was truly serious about submitting content to the website and informing her that we frown upon black hat SEO operators and add them to the Hall of Shame, Evelyn Golston did not reply. This leads me to conclude that Evelyn Golston was attempting to get me to change or ignore this website's policy barring companies from posting articles on Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM) using black hat tactics.
- Jason - On Feb. 19, 2015 and individual going solely by the name of Jason contacted me via a gmail address claiming that he wanted to submit articles to the site yet he did this even though we have a policy in place regarding guest posts from other webmasters.

Yet in that email as well as the first, the individual going by the name of Vee Cecil was only interested in guest posting for a back link not for advertising. Vee Cecil knew these things and still selfishly submitted the guest post with attachments, thus Vee Cecil has earned a place in the Hall of Shame.

When I asked Dr Mehjabin Ahmed Prodhani if he had read the requirements, Dr Mehjabin Ahmed Prodhani contacted me on Monday February 1, 2016 saying that he did not read that writers are required to be Christian - which is the very first thing that is mentioned in the Guest Writer Submission Guidelines. Furthermore, Dr Mehjabin Ahmed Prodhani said that he read points 1 - 11 and yet still did not know that writers must submit articles that promote the Christian bible.
