RSS clear up fake Readers?! Frauds possibly exposed! - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

Anyone notice that on shoemoney his RSS reader ship has dropped nearly in half?

same with on tyler cruz. I went to visit the uber affiliate blog which i know has true numbers because i've seen it rise at a steady pace and it seems within the norm.

Shoemoney has lost over 7,000 RSS readers and tylercruz has lost about 700. Did RSS clear up the fraud accounts? If so this is huge, Frauds caught in there own act and i have a feeling theres gonna be a angry crowd of advertisers a knocking.

Shoe and Chow had an RSS reader number contest a while back. Chow mentioned that Shoe cheated using fake emails to subscribe via email. It's probably just a correction from all that nonsense.

of course he fucking cheated on the last day he got a couple thousand RSS subscribers what a crock of shit i hope this destory's his "image" if nots not just a rss fuck up.

fair play to shoe for cheating, i would have done the same. improves his image if anything

i doubt tyler cruz has the technical know how to fake his stats, he's a retard

Its not hard to do,

1) Get spare domain and catch all email account
2) Setup gmail account and forward all emails there
3) Register 500 times on your site
4) Confirm 500 times

You now have 500 readers

Could be Feedburner have been logging I.Ps or domains
