wickedfire.com — Well, as promised, I am posting the Cease & Decist I got from Shoemoney's lawyer in regards to that thread I made about him and some other bloggers.When you read it, you're probably going to ask the same thing that everyone has asked when they have seen it.. which is.. "Wait. Didn't he blog about that himself about a month ago

My favorite part of the C&D:"Specifically, you have accused Mr. Schoemaker of "lying." You have stated as a fact that Yahoo! "banned" Mr. Schoemaker and ended their business relationship."Yet, as another poster on WickedFire points out, here's the Shoemoney posts where he talks about getting banned from Yahoo for sending s**t traffic:"Hi Jeremy,We performed another quality audit of your YSM sign ups and we are still receiving the same results. 65% of your YSM sign ups are fraudulent which is 10x more than the average affiliate in our program (coming through PID xxxxxx and xxxxxxxx). Unfortunately, we are going to have to end the relationship. Our partnership through CJ will expire in 7 days. Keep in mind that we do not believe you are intentionally generating the fraudulent sign ups. However, we can?t continue with this partnership as we are losing money.Give me a call if you?d like to discuss further: xxx-xxx-xxxxThanks,Michelle"<a class="user" href="http://www.shoemoney.com/2007/12/14/yahoo-search-m">http://www.shoemoney.com/2007/12/14/yahoo-search-m</a> ...Wow, Shoemoney...just...wow. And to think I even let you be my MySpace friend. *tear*

As far as I know, ShoeMoney, some sort of internet advertising 'expert' is up against Jon from WickedFire, because Jon posted something 'slanderous' about Shoe being banned from Yahoo, which Shoe clearly states on his own blog ...

He is from Nebraska?! I am from Nebraska :) As you now there are only 10 people in this state, so next time I see him I will ask him what the deal is :)

I'm pretty sure this is all about attention. This is marketing, after all....

Just us mentioning his name negatively or positively is creating more press for him. In the online celebrity world, where we make money off traffic, all press is good press since it all results in creating a buzz and essentially traffic. He's already on the back end of his 15 minutes of fame and the recent surge of negative press is just breathing life back into his efforts. Best way to get back at shoe is to not link him, mention him in a post, or even spell his name right in the post.
