Show Me The Money

Want to know what really annoys me? People who talk out their ass. It happens at conferences a lot... and I love to call people out when they make claims at conferences. Really your a super affiliate making millions with AzoogleAds lets go to their booth and you can introduce me =P. STFU! Why do people lie anyway? Especially at conferences. What do you possibly have to gain by straight up lying to people. This also goes for networks. I busted out a network (ironically one of the top 3 biggest networks right now!) years ago that told me they were eBay's top affiliate. I called bullshit cause I knew all the top affiliates. Shawn Hogan was one of them. We were 2nd or 3rd with AuctionAds... lots of others in the top 10 but not this network. Anyway long story short after they insisted their network was #1 for eBay for hours I texted the director of the eBay program. She instantly texted me back and said:

"Not only were they not even close to top FIFTY(50) but they were going to be banned the next monday cause like 100% of their traffic was fraud".

I turned my phone around to them and they were speech less. My phone went off again and it said:

"Please don't say anything!"

OUPS! But at least in person you can call people out. Ive been called out 3 times over the Adsense Check. People were like cmon you know thats photoshop'd. I was happy to let them login to my AdSense account to verify it was real. (Keep in mind this was before the lawsuits in which Google stated under penalty of perjury that it was real). But unlike conferences in blogs its super annoying. All these assholes talking theories about how they make money. But never put up any screen shots or show any direct proof. And they are like assholes cause everyone has a theory on how something should work... and for the most part it makes sense right? But the tragedy is that it waistes so much of peoples time (and probably money too) with unsubstantiated crap. The funny part is if you try to call them out online they will say "I don't need to show off". Right.... I get labeled a show off for routinely flashing checks and also take a lot of heat for walking people through stuff step by step that actually works... But whatever. When I goto a conference I hear from a lot of people who thank me for routinely giving them stuff of substance. My Facebook Advertising Guide, Affiliate Legal Issues, and countless other free resources people cite all the time. What do they say? Those who cant do teach? With blogs its like those who can't do sell you a $97 ebook on something they have never done themselves... GTFO
