Rumors About Jon Fisher Debunked :: Where Do They Come Up With This Crap?!?!

July 05th 2008 Posted to General, Industry Bullshit, News, Personal, Things That Piss Me Off

Just a small post for you kids..

I hear A LOT of rumors, everyday, for the last 2+ years for our industry. Most of them are crap. Many of them are just network drama that I care about less and less. But then there are those few times where people contact me or approach me at a conference and ask me what has to be the strangest questions ever. (well, not as strange as the ones I’d get in the adult industry, but that’s another story for another time)

I still have never found the source of these rumors, and I really want to, because it’s the type where the person always heard it from a friend, who claims to have heard it from a very reliable source… but no one can ever provide this magical ‘reliable source or contact’, hahaha!

Okay, so the rumors I get are the following (and these are just the more memorable ones). I’ve collected them in a neat little text file, and just heard another outrageous one, so I really want to get to the bottom of these, and find out who the hell comes up with this shit???

Rumors about Jon Fisher and/or WickedFire as of 2006-2008:

Search Engine Optimization Bet - Gaming Google For Fun!

June 30th 2008 Posted to Announcements, Creative Marketing, General, News, Niche Marketing, Personal, SEO, Traffic

So the other day I was shooting the shit on AIM with this kid I met at the Azoogle event a few months ago. His name is Jonathan Volk. Some of you may know him, most don’t. Not being mean about it, just the kid has been in the game for almost a year. He’s actually been very lucky to get to where he is, but he’s also a well bankrolled PPC affiliate. He’s doing around six figs in profit. Whatever, his accomplishments have nothing to do with this post, and I’m not promoting him nor am I going to bitch about him.

The reason I’m writing about him is because we made a little bet. We were talking about WH SEO (white hat search engine optimization for you slow folks), and since I love to gamble, I proposed we try and rank for eachother’s names. So that means, aojon.com will rank for Jonathan Volk or Jon Volk, whichever I guess, and his blog will rank for Jon Fisher.

My Once In A Lifetime Project - Domains.org

May 06th 2008 Posted to Announcements, Domainers, Forums, General, Industry Bullshit, News, Niche Marketing, Personal, Promotion, Traffic

I’m going to keep this brief and to the point, so not to bring up any crazy and/or stupid questions.

This has nothing to do with WickedFire.com.

This project will be completely on it’s own.

Internets.. let me introduce you to Domains.org. Domains.org, meet the internets.

The domain was registered ONCE in 1996, and has been held by the same owner since then.

It currently ranks as #9 in Google for the coveted keyword - domains

It gets a pretty impressive amount of typein traffic, and search traffic.

It makes more annually than most affiliate marketers do, and this domain hasn’t even been developed the way it will be over the next few months.

We’re currently looking for partners. If you provide any type of service or product, and you’d like to pitch us, contact me.

We don’t need developers/designers, so if that’s your gig, there are plenty of other outlets for you guys.

I just want to tell everyone who got pissed off at me over the last week due to me not being around to respond to their emails or messages, THIS is why I have been so busy and secretive. I still have to finish writing out the architecture project plan for it, but this is THE project that I’ve been looking forward to. Big thanks to my new partners on it too.

In a few months or so, we’ll start dropping more information on what our plans will be for developing it. I can say that we’re going to be creating services for both the everyday naive business owner that just needs a domain, and also for the secretive domainer market industry.

I won’t be leaving WickedFire, but I may end up taking a less active role in posting and dishing out information. I still have plenty of big plans for WF, so I can’t just cut myself off just yet.

Domaining - The Project Of A Lifetime & Some Other Junk Too

May 04th 2008 Posted to Announcements, Business Related, Domainers, General, News, Personal

Well, just when I thought this industry couldn’t throw me anymore new surprises, I get a bunch of curve balls tossed my way, one after the other. Finally though, it’s really good news for me.

I’m not going to say just yet what it is, but it’s in the nature of the domaining industry. So for all of you who were waiting to hear how I cracked the Google algos over the last year, tough luck. Maybe I’ll sell that info on ebay someday, you know, just to go out with a bang, and hopefully no more lawsuits! Haha!

Having Fun With Politicians Online!

April 30th 2008 Posted to Creative Marketing, Personal, Promotion, Things That Piss Me Off, Traffic, TrustRank

If there’s one group of people we can all poke fun at, it’s got to be politicians. It doesn’t even matter which country you’re focusing on, although, as an American, and a right winger at that, I have to say the politics here just get worse and worse every damn time. It doesn’t even matter who’s running anymore, because they will never make good on what they promise for the most part anyhow!
