Who is an idiot? I am getting free advertising for my site! You also don’t know what I had worked out with John and Jeremy.

Joke is on you.

It’s all hype. That’s the game that both of them play. I read both and take everything with a grain of salt. It is how it’s going to benefit them in the long run. It’s just like their inflated website stats with the same people over and over again, not all uniques.

If you really want to know how he did it, i’ll tell you.

Autosubscription using JS. Of course, the moment ppl realize a bogus feed is present they out it.

Which is why the numbers dropped.

Oh wait a minute.. I shouldn’t be posting this.. someone of significance in FB circles might notice.. or was that how he explained it ‘behind the scenes’ – a demo

Hm,

To be honest I think they don’t really care who cheated, and who didn’t.

All they care about is the extra subscribers they got due the whole hype that surrounded this latest marketing ploy.

I am sure they will exaggerate their war of words further with new contest – pretending to one-up each other… but all in all it’s a matter of getting more publicity.

Full credit to them though, good ideas – all of them.

For a post slamming Shoemoney, You call John Chow cheating twice and a cheater once.

Subtle, man…subtle…

Shoemoney is thanking you for all the subscribers you gave him.

I really do like this post, it has a lot of opinion based information that bases on how some of us think too.

Thanks Thor! I am not sure why the few comments. Possibly Shoe viewers don’t convert as well as mine.

The press is good, but actually the amount of visitors is lower than I expected.

I am sure tomorrow many more visitors will come and with them more comments.

No the 130 was from the day before. It often fluctuates 10% in any given day.
