Reynoso posted this response on Belkin's site: They even backed up and ran over him again a few times, just to make sure. When word of this leaked up the chain to Belkin prez Mark Reynoso, Bayard was thrown under the wheels of the Belkin bus. According to TDB, Bayard posted his own glowing reviews under different aliases and was also recruiting people to say nice things about Belkin products at Buy.com and Newegg.
As TDB discovered, the ad was placed by one Michael Bayard, a biz dev guy at Belkin who is probably wishing he was someone else right now. That's the jist of an actual advertisement placed on Amazon's Mechanical Turk site, which offers low wages for scut work that can't be done easily by a machine - or at least it was until a blog called The Daily Background found it. Just need to spew a few sentences worth of meaningless praise in its general direction and you'll be almost 70 cents richer. You don't need to own one, use one, or even know what a Belkin router is. Looking for a fast way to make a buck 65 cents? Log on to Amazon Reviews and post a glowing recommendation for a Belkin router.
