This is a direct quote from this blog I came across -
The Top 10 Affiliate Marketing Forums

And the fucker ranked WF at #8 ahead of DP and Warrior

xmcp123

Well, let's be honest here. Wickedfire is NOT for everyone. If his biggest complaint is cussing, we're not doing too bad

He didn't call us unprofessional. He said "non-professional".

non-professional = More casual, A casual atmosphere or aura. Not requiring formality

unprofessional = Not a qualified member of a professional group, Characteristic of an amateur; inexpert

We can be non-professional experts but we definitely are not casual amateurs

Kinda looks like he ranked them by number of members. Maybe just a coincidence though.
Of what he listed I've only been to abestweb (or whatever it's called) and 5 star.

Never even seen Warior and I've only passed by DP.

WickedFire is for the open minded Not the closed and controlled!

Well, I come here for info, the other forums I go to get hitched up with new sub-affiliates.

I'm surprised that Revenue Source is on there.
It's great for aggregating news and blogs, but every other section of the forum is dead or spamtastic.

I'm amazed DP makes it to #2, simply on the basis of the amount of noise on the forum. A forum isn't useful if you can't find the informative posts, and whilst there ARE SOME on DP, they get buried so fast and have so many stupid replies I'm fairly certain the people with some decent info to share give up.

And TWF being #3, or on the list at all, is just dumb. It's NOT an Affiliate forum... It's a ClickBank circle jerk and incest-fest.
Other than the copy writing section, the entire site is useless unless you've got a scammy WSO... like "How to Make a Top Selling WSO"...

The only reason I see to be professional on a forum is if you're either trying to sell something or sell yourself. Wickedfire members aren't really after each others money or professional admiration so it's kinda mute.

If we had a bigger marketplace like dp or sitepoint or warrior there'd probably be a lot more bitching about nonprofessionalism from other members. Personally I like it best when everyone is just themselves.

Do Wicked Fire members really have to care about that? In truth, people already have an inkling of what to expect in here. And I agree - the blogger said "non-professional" - meaning this forum is not for the STIFF.

I'm glad this forum is #8.

So I visit Sitepoint and the first aff post I read is from some guy "giving away" his 101 secrets e-book and some other stuff. No ban hammer, just fawning n00bs.

I have the sense here that the WF forum is about making money. Not talking about making money -- actually doing it, with the realization that one just might have to do some work to get there.

And that's why I keep coming back.

I will say that since I joined WF, I went from 0$ to actually getting a campaign going that's pulling in conversions, which is far better than I've done before. Feel free to put that in the testimonials box on the WF landing page. :-)

Speaking of, one of the best sigs here introduced me to the Firefox LeechBlock plugin and that's made me FAR more productive.

<-- turns leechblock on

Bofu2U

I hear ya. The thing I like most about WF (money aside) is the people ya meet. ASE Boston will be the best Affiliate Summit by far (YEAH BOYS (and girls)!)

if you ever feel WF is full of boobs curse words and trash, you are spending too much time in shooting the shit.

go to any other part of this forum you will see useful tutorial & direct and thoughtful answer to most of the question (if the op ask the right question)

you don't need tie and suit to be professional

turbolapp

And yet it still falls behind dp. Who cares about that creative ideas and bh? No one wants to make money, we just want to be where all the sheep are!!

johu

Well, at least he thinks WF has the best material, it seems.

All I know about this guy is that he's been running a bunch of diet offers through Advalant lately, and also runs 2 different offers (wu-yi and ultra green tea) on the same keywords. I wonder if he found out about those offers from... WickedFire?

AdHustler

FUCK HIM

You know I am trying to go to DP and there is a bunch of noobz make moniez here threads. I hate that shit and the people that fall for it.

On WF it is not allowed and even though people on here are all about boobs and the gay webmaster forum I think it is for good reason.

The members on WF weed out the morons and idiots. Flame them and make them go cry to their mommy.

amanda11

Warrior forum = big name ebook hustling gurus's hang out, where they shake each other's hands (read: joint ventures) and celebrate with a gay orgy after a big ebook launch

turbolapp

Tis true. Survival of the fittest.

And let me tell you, I would rather be in a forum with the fittest.

gerMAN

Too bad because I actually hate your mom (don't tell her).

acemenace

I am sure this actually is a really good comeback if you say it in German, but in English, that didn't quite do it.

Tim Schroeder

acemenace, Thanks for the link.

A couple points:

1. That post was created like a year ago.

2. The ordering was "in Order of Total Members" at the time. It has nothing to do with which forums I like the most."

3. This thread pretty much proves my point.

johu, Yea, I'm not really trying to hide that fact or I wouldn't be redirecting the traffic through that domain. I found out about them from Alla at Advaliant. It's only two MANY other offers I run.

I figured you weren't trying to hide it. I found out about those offers from Geoff's posts here, so I wondered if you had, as well.

I do quite a bit competitive research, especially in the diets industry, so I try to keep on top of who (either named, or just which unknown entities) are playing in certain areas.
