Indeed, it's the same company behind eHow.com and other SEO spam. I'm frankly a bit surprised that Lance Armstrong's organization would partner with such a company.
Here's an excellent Wired article about Demand Media:

- bdickason 16y agoGood call! I'm familiar with Demand, but didn't realize it extended past blog posts to copy/pasting google maps entries. I agree with you on the organization partnership. It really surprised me when I saw it, and the content never actually gets surfaced to their homepage. I was googling for my business' name to see where we came up in search (note: the link I posted is not my business) and was surprised to see it surfaced on the second page of results. Super shady, especially coming from Lance :\
- noarchy 16y agoI can't say that this surprises me. Though I don't necessarily share what may be the dominant opinion regarding the guy's character, Lance probably has nothing to do with any of this.
- spacemanaki 16y agoActually, it's not that surprising. In that article, we learn that the founder of Demand "is also friends with cyclist (and Demand investor) Lance Armstrong, a fact that he mentions frequently. (“I’m supposed to go to France Wednesday with Lance, but I just can’t,” he confided, sighing. “It’s a lot of travel.”)."
