Viral Marketing For The Win

Posted April 5th, 2006 by Jeremy Schoemaker

I was idle in the webmaster radio chat room when I saw oilman post a link to this website.

Evidently this guy has a bet with his Girlfriend that if he can 2,000,000 hits she will have a 3some with him. Sounds fishy to me…

After looking over the site You see the only place to check out pictures of her is on There Metrodate profile… Metrodate profile? I thought she was his boyfriend… anyway its a affililate link anyway.

I had to call the contact listed for the whois and get the scoop!

    I should make a similar bet with my husband (I get to choose the sexual favour). Might make him pay a bit more attention to his websites and write some content for a change :)

    Get well Shoemoney, I have been waiting to see you eat something so I can get a t-shirt and so far all I’ve seen is your out sick sign.

    Great interview, the guy seemed clueless, I wonder how much money his friend made off of the dating site and the donations?

    LOL This guy is lying! I reckon it’s a scam. Their form is just a spamfast as well.

    Good idea though, wonder how much he’s making at metrodate?

    That was great & not something many people seem to do (that I’ve seen) – getting contact info off the Whois and actually phoning up for an interview! :-)

    I’d just heard of this story today and your interview here really authenticating the “event” for me – although I’m not 100% satisfied it wasn’t done to chalk up some affiliate money by using that dating site (via an affiliate link) as a means to contact the guy in question.

    But their explanation is just possible enough to make me give them the benefit of the doubt. :-)

    Great post as usual!
