Errrrrr....these websites drive me nuts!!!  Another one of those 'advertiser-
based' websites in which the sole purpose is to get people doing a search for 
legit info to click the advertisers links and buy the products.

There ought to be a law against these sites!  They crowd out the legit info 
and confuse the consumer.

FWIW, I did a Google search on the two authors quoted on some of 
the 'articles' on there:

"Kristi Patrice Carter is an experienced and professional copywriter and 
published writer who has a BA in English, a JD and is currently pursuing her MA 
in Creative Writing. Kristi is the proud owner of KPC Writing and Editorial 
Services and is available to assist you with your copywriting/copyediting 
needs. For more information about her services, please visit her site at 
http:www.kpcwriting.com."

So, apparently, writers are now qualified to tell mothers what to do to 
increase their milk supply.  Yipee.  

This website is especially deceiving because the first few articles are written 
from a first person perspective, as in "I am ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT that you 
will find my report worth your time..."  There is no credit given as to WHO the 
report is authored by, but it gives the reader the impression when looking 
through the website that it just might be KPC.  Very, very sad.

Also, they appear to actually be attempting to MAKE money off breastfeeding 
specific information...see this link: 
http://www.breastfeedingfenugreek.com/breastfeeding_power.html

I clicked the link and it indeed is generated by KPC.

The other author (Jacqueline Harris) has too common of a name to find out 
her qualifications using Google.  But, like KPC, she's likely a writer and has no 
experience with breastfeeding.

Do any of the writers here know if there is an organization that handles 
complaints of this nature?

Blessings!
