Revenue Magazine Is FRICKING NUTZ Or Maybe Just Lisa Picarille

By Jeremy Schoemaker 32 comments

So 1 week after I asked for my interview on Revenue Magazine to be pulled now they have posted a blog entry saying that I am a fraud or something LOL.

They even quote my blog but the chicken sh*ts do not mention my site or name. They do claim that they have sent me legal papers (total LIE). WHAT IN THE HELL is there deal? I mean is this mag run by total wackos ?

The gutless wonders said they will be at the affiliate summit in Orlando next week and even though I was almost 100% sure (as I mentioned here) I was not going I am pretty sure I will now.

I guess this is why I never even heard of Revenue Magazine when Azoogleads approached me to do the interview in the first place.

The hilarious thing is that they say they wont mention my name or site cause it would give me more traffic…. yet accourding to alexa and other stats shoemoney.com gets about 10x the traffic of revenue magazines website.

    shoe i think they are just link baiting you. Obviously your request to remove your interview from there magazine upset them. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone as successful as you in Revenue Magazine.

    Take down there links as you will only give them traffic (as I am sure you know).

    Well, I think people wouldn’t mind seeing the offending blog as well. its here, revenuetoday dot com/blogs/index.php, the link cunningly disguised by me. If they interviewed you, and you gave them answers, how could it be an ad?

    Don`t know why you`re so angry man ;o) Obviously they don`t know what else to do then switch the thing in your direction and tell anybody you are the fraud even if they are.

    You know it , and a lot other people know it too… Their behaviour isn`t professional in any meanings and it will come sometimes back to them.

    So dude, sit back relax and drink a cup of tea with me. (or coffee, whatever…beer?)

    I can’t find the post about shoemoney. Did they delete it or am I just blind?

    Why did you ask for the interview to be pulled? Was it an advertisement from azoogleads, I think that is what the blog was implying…?

    When I had my baby I started having nightmeres about like just publicity and stuff like that… so I asked to have it pulled.

    Well, Jeremy - if you are in Orlando, maybe we can hook up for a bit. I am leaving for Orlando tomorrow and will be there 8 days or so.

    I am not sure what kind of stuff their legal department could be sending you after reading that post?

    Shoemoney, settle down dude! Anger is causing you to misspell words and have grammatical errors. The reason I point this out is the fact that I do not want the jerks over at Revenue Magazine to have any reason what so every to trash you. The second paragraph needs to change there to their, and run needs to be ran. I apologize if this offends, just looking out for you. Maybe it’s because I’m a teacher as well.

    Funny…I was thinking about putting in a half page ad in order to get a few targeted affiliate sign-ups; if they’re not good business partners as seems to be the case, I’ll use the money elsewhere.

    It happens to the best of us man. Stick it to the punks at the magazine when you get the chance! If you ever get to looking for someone to read over major publications, news articles, etc. let me know. I’d love to work with you. It’d be a GREAT opportunity for me to learn a few things as well. I am trying hard to do something different in life, since the dreams of being a rock drummer never came true. :-) I trying a few different ideas right now, who knows something just may happen that will allow me to make a little money. Since that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it. Call me a poser, but I’ve taking something that made some cash and built upon it. The following links are suppose to open in a new window, The Blog Roll Call – blogrollcall.com, 500 Ads - 500ads.com, The Ad-Word Network - ad-word.net, and last but not least MySpace5000 - myspace5000.com. Like I said I hope this comes through for me, at least until my blog plans are programmed and rolling. Thanks again for being so accessibly.

    From what I understood from the revenue blog post, is that it was an ad and it was rejected by revenue magazine. Looking at the pdf it sure looks like an interview, it even has the name of the interviewer and his photo. But then you look at the big AzoogleAds check in the picture.. why do that if its just an interview? and you even say in this post that AzoogleAds approach you to do this interview… well I don’t know, but I think the article/ad was good.

    Everyone should understand that Lisa does not represent at all how the rest of us feel about Shoemoney or AzoogleAds. She goes off the deep end and posts before thinking about it.

    If you do make it to the affiliate summit please look us up we will buy you some beers

    It kinda looks like you’d probably be able to sue the buggers for publishing false and defamatory allegations against you (from I read of your post).

    These people are getting too personal about the matter.

    I was at the Revenue office today for a meeting and heard way too much about this situation. Everyone seemed to be yakking about it. I was also privvy to emails from Azoogle executives and Revenue sale reps about the advertisement several weeks ago when there was heated talks.going on. Based on that information I can assure you this is an ad made by Azoogle to look like a Revenue story. I guess it really worked. But Revenue made a choice not to run it. Any one who says differently is out of the loop or fibbing. Revenue has emails from Azoogle (including head honcho Joe Spiser) to prove all claims they are making. As for Lisa, she’s a little crazy in a good way.

    I was at the Revenue office for a meeting today and overheard too much about this. Over the past month or so I also saw some emails between Azoogle execs and Revenue reps. This was an ad not an interview. Azoogle made it to look like an interview. I guess it really worked. But Revenue opted not to run it. Anyone that claims otherwise is out of the loop or fibbing. Revenue has the emails (from Azoogle higher ups including Joe Spiser) to back up every claim they have made.

    Greg Cherry, shame on you for correcting shoemoney about grammatical errors. You have 3. Let us see if you can find them, hmm?

    [Reply]

  24. JonRambo said on July 7th, 2006 at 8:02 am

    Here was the original article.

    So really the bottom line seems to be that its a paid advertisement that shoemoney asked to be pulled and now (as revenue people said) that revenue magazine cant sell out they make up stuff about shoemoney.

    A funny thing is that this “advertisement” contains the best advice I have ever seen in Revenue Magazine. Anyone disagree with that lol ?

    I thought Shoe was being paid by azoogle, all the promotion of the almost-dead ringtone niche. It got pretty obvious and this confirms it.

    This is why it is so important to get someone else to read over your work before releasing it. Although, there are times that this is not feasible.

    Let’s see if I found the ones you found. I found additional “questionable� mistakes as well.

    1.) etc.,
    2.) I am, instead of I trying
    3.) ? after isn’t it
    4.) last, but not least,

    Now, I’m starting to question the content in this post. LOL
    Are you listed?

    By the way, I never once said I am a master at the skill of writing. I was just looking out for someone as well known as Shoe!

    Rev Mag sounds like it is run by a bunch of tools. ANY reputable magazine that has “special feature length advertisements” says so somewhere in the article. They don’t try to make it look like all their other “editorialâ€? content. This is an egregious mistake on their part. It sickens me that they would play this off as Azoogle and Shoemoney’s mistake and not their own. You’re in the right here Shoe, not them.

    Stick it to them in Orlando Shoe!

    Hi Shoe!

    Think about this: THE COMPETITOR TO BE FEARED IS ONE WHO NEVER BOTHERS ABOUT YOU AT ALL, BUT GOES ON MAKING HIS OWN BUSINESS BETTER ALL THE TIME.

    Those people are just envious of you LOL
