Thanks Jay...honestly I don't mind my affiliate getting that number one spot. If somebody can pull that off, more power to them. But I had already began the process of working on optimizing my search engine stuff for the site last week. My graphics guy finally got the new images I needed last night and we got the text off the images and onto the page itself as "real" text.
I'm not trying to hurt my own affiliate. I was sort of impressed at what he did and being an old school guy...and remembering when it used to be cool when a program gave me a public pat on the back for a job well done, I had no idea I would be crucified by some people that I don't even know on here.
Hell, I have no idea if half these people who are calling me an idiot are even in this business and/or how successful they are. So, I'll just leave it at: No, I don't think that saying an affiliate garnered the top spot on Google for my wife's name for her site of the same name is giving away any "secrets" I can't even fathom the thinking that would lead to that conclusion or that somehow I have "fucked over' my affiliates.
BUT, if ONE person that I know in this business and respect comes on here and says: "Robbie you fucked up by saying one of your affiliates has a top Google spot for your website" Well, then I WILL listen to that person. But so far, everyone who has attacked me in this thread are people that in 10 years of running a content company, one of the biggest tgps' in the world, and now a paysite...I'm unaware of what any of them do... And the people who have sort of "defended" me in this thread are pretty much all successful players in the biz.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful to the people on here that called me a "prick" and a "douchebag" and followed up by telling me how successful they are as affiliates and how they would never work with me because I'm obviously a piece of shit...but come on you guys. I'd like to know who you are and if ANY of you have ever been a whale. I have.
