Anybody know who this is?

So I was starting my long holiday week-end with some surfing. I wanted to find class schedules for Hitomi so just typed her name into google.

This page came up. It sounds interesting, but I could not help notice that it is surrounded by sponsored ads by og's. I am not at all tech savvy so don't know how you go into this to find who owns the domain. I am HORRIFIED that this exists if it is only og's. Flower Experts my patootie!

I went to find them on Twitter, but they do not follow anybody, and those who follow them are not familiar to me.

That's an affiliate site, not an OG. Looks like a pretty good one at that.

If you click the links you get this link for PF.

They still get a nice cut of the order.

Duane's right. The site is a collection of affiliate links and AdWords ads.

Much of the content was copied from other sites - without proper attribution or linking. Wikipedia, DMOZ, etc... Copy and paste a sentence ot two of one of their 'informational' texts into Google and you'll usually see the original source.

Note NONE of the florists profiled on the site even get a link to the own site from the profile page. Link hoarders. Ugh.

It's been a long time since I looked at the site - and it appears they have changed their monitization method. All the pages used to show products from an OG site they also owned. Now, they're using affiliate links and LOTS of AdSense ads.
