Discuss UFC Forums - Free Shirt Friday

By Jeremy Schoemaker 48 comments

The forum for UFC talk - discussufc.com sent me this black shirt.

Discuss UFC

Discuss UFC

On the front it say “Lets discuss this like gentlemen” and shows 2 rocked up MMA dudes smakcing eachother around. Pretty rad! So I was checking out the Ufc Forum website and they have quite a loyal membership. With only 500 users they have manage to have almost 20 thousand posts of high quality MMA content. I particularly liked the UFC News section of the forum site.

One thing I was not big on was to see the big fat adsense square that takes up half the page. I have a feeling one of the reasons there membership is so low is that people find the site and click on adsense and are gone forever. I would recommend this site go after direct advertisers (have your people call my people) as I know a few that are dying to get market penetration in the UFC arena and would probably jump on sponsoring your website.

About Free shirt friday: companies or site owners send me shirts for free and I take a pic in them and write about them. If you would like to send me a free shirt contact susan at shoemoney.com and she can give you the address. BTW I wear a XL t-shirt (cause they shrink) or normally a large dress shirt.

    Rumor has it that your going to take a stab at the UFC, if you were going to give it a go who do you think you could take on? Would make a great promo!

    I have wrestling background and I actually was going to goto the BJJ local school here but my training partner “the rooster” owned the main guy there so I think I have more to learn from him (he defeated Frank Trigg in college wrestling and his twin brother defeated Matt Hughes).

    Other then a few boxing lessons and like 4 street fights as a youth I dont have much of a standup… Also keep in mind I was always a HUGE GUY and most fights were either 1 punch knockouts by me or I got my ass kicked.

    Hey Jeremy glad you liked the shirt my good man. Ole Lee Dodd said I should send one to yah. And thanks for the remarks about the adsense I may change that!

    BTW I’ve tried contacting you about UFC stuff but never a reply. Hit me up sometime

    I love the quote, “lets discuss this like gentleman”… that’s the way I feel like talking to my contractors.

    Looks like Rex beat me to getting you a shirt. I knew you were a big UFC fan but we haven’t had our shirts printed yet.

    Also, I contacted Susan about the UFC advertisers. I was not sure if she was the person to contact but seemed like as good of a guess as any.

    Have a good one…

    Jeremy-

    When Kris sends you a shirt and you do a little write up on his blog, be sure to keep in mind that he is a convicted plagiarizer … caught red handed more than once.

    His site is a bad knockoff of some of the best UFC blogs on the net. He doesn’t have an original fiber in his being.

    Just thought you might want a little forewarning before you go ahead and talk about a site that is a fraud and possibly hurt the credibilty of your own site.

    Here’s just ONE link to consider:

    Thanks.

    I’m sure you have already considered it, but why haven’t you put a catalog together on this blog to sell your shirts? I know I would be interested in buying one.

  18. Andrew Johnson said on June 2nd, 2007 at 1:47 am

    Alright, I think I am going to have to have a WebPublishingBlog t-shirt made just for you! And if get a 1 year backlog from other web sites before then I’ll just have to go the leather jacket/mink fur coat route (or would that make me look too desperate for links?)

    Hi, I would like introduce you the sec.un.dum (http://www.secundum.com.br). It looks like a Brazilian Technorati which pays for post’s bloggers. In the last month, sec.un.dum paied 2.4 dollars for each post in the 100 more visited list. This month it will pay 5 dollars. The site is a blog community for portuguese content.

    Screw traditional fighting styles… do you think there is currently anyone in the UFC that could take you in thumb-wrestling?

    Whoa, I see you just launched your shop… super cool super shoe. I wish my intuition for pulling in pay per leads is as dialed in as I was on this one. Let me know if you need some help with the shirt store. I think I have an hour a day b/t 3AM and 4AM that is unspoken for… Seriously, let me know if you need a hand, my dad’s a printer.

    I used to own a mixed martial arts business. Nice looking forum no doubt, but I never understood why these sites and forums would limit their marketability by having the first three words of their site “UFC” when there is a whole wide world of Mixed Martial Arts beyond the UFC, all around the world.
