At our meet market table yesterday, we got quite the reaction from WF members regarding the full page ad we've placed in Revenue. I'm only posting this because it was quite unexpected and I was surprised with the reactions. If you are at the show, stop by and check it out - it would be interesting to see if all of you thought the same thing.

No, not really. I've been in WF for quite a while and if you look at my posts you'll see if not a self-promotion whore.

At first it made me laugh then I thought about the motivation behind it and the points which were implied.
Attacking a competitor on a personal level is lame. I'm with EWA and although I've yet to run traffic with them I respect what they do and the way they do it. It tells me more about the company flinging the mud and it's obvious how threatened it feels by the service and approach offered up by the birdman and crew and other boutique style nws. God I sound like a fanboy or something but I couldn't give a shiiiiiiiiit. Last edited by mediastar100; 01-18-2010 at 01:36 PM.. Reason: Typo |

Hey Steve, any chance of a photo for those of us who were unable to make ASW this year? I'm rather interested to know what this is all about. Thanks.

That guy looks like Ryan Eagle. I can identify birds.

Meh, I don't really see any implied distinction of the guy in the photo being Ryan Eagle. It just looks to me like a typical CPA company advertisement comparing their company to a pseudo "loan shark".
Ergo: more of a shark, less of a bird. -Jay

Can someone ENHANCE that photo so we can read the text? Thank you. I can't resist a good drama.

But from the general look of things, this is exactly what the whole affiliate industry has basically come down to - dealin' and wheelin'. And that is what I relate to in this ad... Hey, I am not complaining -- god knows what all people call me when I send them back the domain offers... or when I peddle other stuff.

I loled when I saw that picture, but I'm currently using EWA and not MaxBounty because they have an offer that is working for me that no one else has. Not sure if this is right but since I haven't gotten a response from EWA I'll post it. After I asked some questions about if some education offer ad text was allowed or not my representative there threatened to cancel my account and has not responded to any of my emails afterwards. The representatives I worked with from MaxBounty have always been professional.

That's funny cause the email response was 'I had to just fight to keep your account from being terminated...' implying a couple people discussed it. The ad text I sent was not compliant, but I hadn't even sent any traffic for that offer - I just noticed the ad and wanted to ask. MaxBounty has at least one problem with their network as well. Every night their servers stop working for 15-30 minutes, and it's been going on for at least a year. So I don't think it makes sense for them to make an ad like that when they could be spending the money and time on fixing their server issue; even though the ad is funny.

I'll keep this short and simple: I have MaxBounty in my target now, you just dug your own grave - and at your age that's probably not a good idea. Intended or not, this was a planned attack. If it was not an attack towards me - then who were you targeting? Is your business doing that bad?
I was under the assumption that when we did do business, it was good business. Nobody trusts your "proprietary" technology and I encourage anyone to split test between us and come back with who you trust. But shiiit, I'll take it as a compliment. Haters gonna' hate.

Sure, we could have gone with a generic "stack of cash" style ad, but why bother? Successful ad campaigns require creative that people stop and take notice of, and tell their friends about. We found an image that fit that bill and it seems to have worked. If you feel offended and/or targetted, that certainly wasn't our intention and I do apologize. But don't turn this into a "MaxBounty vs. Eagle" thing, because it isn't. But something tells me you're enjoying the attention and will continue to play it this way.

My guess is that the Google search results for Max Bounty are going to get really interesting in the coming days / weeks. Should be funny when the #1 listing is Max Bounty Are Fucking Scammers grabbing popcorn.

I can totally see what you mean! Seriously, you are obviously the first person to have tacky taste, that is why you copy righted that signature pose. </sarcasm> Dude, it shows me a lot more about you that you automatically assume a poke at a stereotype is a poke at you. Get a life. Instead of showing you have sand in your vagina, you would have done a lot better putting out an ad like: 2 Pictures: A Guys Setting in His Underwear and A Tacky Taste Guy Type Picture side by side. Underneath it could read: One of the Above has a 7x Higher Conversion Rate. Could you tell who by their attire? Then Give EWA a shot and discover the difference. And dude, to this: Quote:

As Seen on FTC.gov

When I first saw the ad, before this thread was made, I liked it. I viewed it as kind of a shot at Ryan, and EWA, but that's business and nothing personal was said. The ad is very well written, has good graphics, and is overall very impressive.
I actually went over to MaxBounty and looked around a bit and was going to sign up but didn't have enough time. Then this thread was created for seemingly no reason except for shameless self promotion. ...If the ad was that good other members would've posted about it. In fact some guys took pics and Tweeted them. It was inevitable that someone would make a thread about it eventually. But instead, by starting this thread yourself, you look like a douche trying to gain a little publicity with those of whom aren't at ASW. (Which lets face it are those of whom more then likely can't afford to go there.) All in all this was a fail by Steve and I'm sure MaxBounty, in the view of a lot of people, has been taken down a notch.
