Affiliate Summit, Put Shoemoney Back On The Facebook Panel

Posted by: Ruck under Convert2Media News

UPDATE – Apparently the board is still reviewing whether or not Dennis Yu will be speaking (out of his ass). So I hope this post helps for the Summit to do the right thing. Although, from what I know, I have no idea why the hell it needs to be discussed. Let’s do the right thing here and have Shoe, who’s been doing these panels forever and helps more and more affiliates with each speech make more money. The only thing Dennis has been doing is pissing people off and anyone that is making serious money, knows he’s full of shit. Over and out.

This is an open request to Affiliate Summit asking that they put Shoemoney back on the Facebook Advertising Panel. I just got word that Shoe is withdrawing from the Affiliate Summit Facebook Panel. I’m going to keep this as civil and as professional as possible which I hope Affiliate Summit will appreciate because if Dennis Yu stays on the panel, I assure you what comes from me next is going to become SERIOUSLY ugly.

Let’s cut the bullshit right quick and get right to it. No other Affiliate Network is going to step and say anything. Lack of balls, or “my brand will be tarnished” comes to mind very quickly. However, my company is exhibiting at Affiliate Summit, we love the Summit. I’ve got plans on sending employees to this panel personally and AS ALWAYS, Convert2media is recommending certain panels to our affiliates to attend.

I cannot recommend this panel. As a matter of fact, I have to condemn it. Has it seriously come to Jeremy dropping out and listening to a liar? I’ll put this plainly without revealing confidential information that Jeremy dropping out and Dennis staying on is a monumental mistake by the Summit.

As the days go on, if Dennis continues to stay on this panel, I assure you that I will be releasing information showing how monumental this mistake will be. I dont know how this shit has gone on for so long or why he would even be considered. I wont put anyone on the spot here, I dont want an answer to that question because any one that you might offer is quickly going to be shut down and I assure you, you will get embarrassed. So how about it, can we do the right thing here? If not the RIGHT thing, do it for the people going to Affiliate Summit because allowing this man to talk out of his ass and AFFILIATE SUMMIT approving it will be an enormous mistake and the syndication of such a mistake will be enormous.

So let’s sort this mess out please.

PS – We need comments here people. I dont care if you want to participate or not. Allowing this scumbag on the panel is like listening to someone who doesnt know what they are talking about. As an affiliate you are probably PAYING to attend the Summit. Should you pay for information that is going to harm your business versus improve it?

    I won’t be recommending anyone buy a pass until they kick Dennis Yu off and bring Jeremy back. What the fuck are they thinking?

    Having him on the panel is such garbage. He *may* know something about Facebook advertising but some attendees view people on a panel as an ‘authority’ on the subject (Whether it’s correct or not).

    Even if the panel is COMPLETELY on Facebook and not this other drama it will just end up with him ripping more people off.

    Having him on a panel makes me question ALL the speakers credentials…

    especially after all the stuff he ranted about (blackhat) tricks and facebook/myspace ads. I can’t believe they’re seriously considering.

    They need to put Jeremy back on. I can’t believe it is even an option to go forward with the panel the way it is right now.

    I like Jeremy and Shawn Collins a lot, but this is all a publicity stunt.

    Collins knows the buzz surrounding this incident will benefit the conference long term. (Assuming it doesn’t backfire, letting Yu stay.)

    Shoe is smart enough to monetize this situation as well, in any number of ways, and I’m guessing he will.

    This whole thing is nothing more than a bad Nancy Grace episode, complete with flashing ‘breaking news’ alerts every time one of the players in the storyline breaks wind.

    This what really needs to be done

    -Allow anyone over 18 years of age and not 21+
    -21+ means strippers,booze flying around,smoking and etc..
    Is affiliate summit got any of those?

    Down with Yu. This is ridiculous. He should be hog-tied and dragged out of the industry once and for all.

    This is the biggest publicity stunt ever…. I understand that he should not be there. ( no one wants to pay to hear a liar) but I have a strange feeling that they are building this buzz to pull out the plug in the very last minute and bring back Jeremy.

    Strange feeling about all this…. Sounds dirty… It is true that if Dennis is in then this affiliate summit it’s a wrap……

    I used to recommend the platinum pass to first-time attendees. Not any more.

    WTF are they thinking? It has to be a publicity stunt. Why would they keep this guy on there?

    I have already switched from buying a platinum to hanging out on the floor and going to parties to network with HONEST PEOPLE I know.

    Shawn you should be embarrased you wont let 14yr old hackers in but you will let this evidenced scum-bag in ?

    Virtually everything I’ve heard or read about Jeremy Shoemoney = good.

    Virtually everything I’ve heard or read about Dennis Yu = bad.

    And the saying “where there’s smoke there’s fire” is true more often than not.

    Choosing Yu over Shoe is epic fail, imo.

    Why any event would want a reputation for giving a known liar and fraud a panel to speak is beyond me.

    The panel is going to be pretty much useless without ShoeMoney on board. I’m surprised they didn’t drop Dennis Yu from the panel a long time ago. I still think they will.

    If Dennis Yu Is not kicked out, I will get a $100k media buy on the Affiliate Summit being a waste or time and money.

    This is some crazy PR. May be they’re gonna kick Yu in the balls publicly and make a music video out of it? Weird.

    Ruck you have my full support and I agree completely with your points. If there’s a way I can help let me know (if that’s 100K backlinks, that’s 100K backlinks. If that’s a post on Contempt, it’s a post on Contempt).

    Hit me up bro.

    I’m not going to ASW, but if I was I rather listen to Shoemoney over Dennis.

    The bottom line here is that the Summit Panels are supposed to be educational for those paying to attend – If you want to see smoke & mirrors in Vegas, go see Penn and Teller. Get rid of Yu, bring on the Shoe.
