Shoemoney attacked

[blogenhancingtips]

One of my favorite forums to go to as of lately has been Wickedfire. The reason why is that it has been giving me a lot of laughs lately. The reason why? The guy that runs the forum has been completely tearing ShoeMoney apart. Supposedly they ran a forum together and their relationship completely went haywire. ShoeMoney has since been saying that he is been making a huge amount of money with affiliate programs and just plain advertising. However, the owner of Wickedfire called it a joke. So here is what has been going down lately:

Jon (Wickedfire owner) completely blasts ShoeMoney and John Chow in the first part on February 5. Here's the link of that article: click

Then on February 5 ShoeMoney sent the owner of Wickedfire a C&D to take down that posting and give him an apology. It is actually kind of funny that he is trying to scare this owner away. Here's a little bit of that article: click

Then another guy on the same forum decides to post the ever so popular picture of ShoeMoney with his $132,000 adsense check. However it is different in this photo, it actually says $132. It is a little weird that the one Posted on this forum still says ShoeMoney all over it. He claims that it is actually the real check and that ShoeMoney Photoshopped it. I'm really not sure which one to believe but here's the link to that page: click

I also found on Digg that the C&D thread was on there. It is actually is at 150 diggs. You can check out at this link right here: click

Overall I'm really not sure who to believe of the two. I'm just laying out the groundwork and I'm going to let you guys decide for yourselves. All I can say is, that it all just makes me laugh.

Vs. this one: http://www.shoemoney.com/gallery/d/5...sensecheck.jpg (I didn't want it to stretch the frames, so just linked it).

Interesting indeed, hehe.

Hmm... still people out there that get bothered by stuff like this? Isn't this the same as photoshopping your feedburner numbers? It is to me, you are representing something that isn't you in both cases.

**maybe they are two checks, but the date was photo shopped?**

But with the popularity of nextpimp.com, the "big check" still makes sense to me.

Seems to be an ethical issue....maybe that should be the content of my new book...Ethics and blogging or should it be Ethics OR Blogging.

Wow that's a lot of interesting stuff here. I have to add my piece too. I got this assignment on one of my paid ad sites to write a +ve post on shoemoney, I did some research for the post and found some other links that painted this guy in black, then I stumbled here. So now I have declined the task.
What it implies is that this guy shoemoney is trying to buy people write positive stuff about him to counter the accusations.

That's really interesting. TBH I'm not sure what to believe because let's get serious people are ENVIOUS of others success some get jealous. He's widely successful so many many know about him. The fact that (He?) is paying for positive reviews is interesting though.

I never heard of shoemoney before this assignment. I went to his site to see what should I write( in case I accept it). He is full of himself. Every post is me me me me me. I like problogger. The blog/site has really good tips, but this shoemoney talks only about himself in each and every post.................Am I getting too loud here...ok I will stop.

After reading the threads (links in post #1) on WF I now know why I have never posted on that site.
