After some serious back and forth debate amongst my peers, and a serious look at what I’m up against, I’ve decided to respond to Vic from Blogger Unleashed. I know through both comments and e-mail… this response is well anticipated. I’ve taken the time to not respond in an unpleasant manor, but in a manor that is deserved. So without further ado… here we go. I’ve linked dictionary.com to certain words I feel you may have a small deficiency in understanding so please, by all means feel free to click them for a more clear understanding of this letter.

The Official Reply

Vic,

I’m writing you today in response to the rude, crude, arrogant, self centered, pusillanimous e-mail you sent me the other day. I’d like to just take a moment to let you know that I harbor no ill feelings towards you as I am sure that you cannot help being so insecure. Your mental instabilities that were once questionable in my book are in deed now certifiable, so for that, I commend you. It takes courage to step out of the box, and show the world the inferior side of ourselves… and you my friend nailed it. 10 points an a sympathy vote earned.

You missed my point

In regards to my initial inquiry, I was simply being amenable to the possibility of a future challenge of sorts. However, you’ve haphazardly taken my offer, and turned it into a conquest. A Crusade of sorts… to rid the blogging community of useless amoeba like yourself who seek to do nothing more than destroy the very community that has made you the person you are today.

You abuse those who made you

Frankly Vic, it’s a bit pathetic. It’s pathetic, that people like myself… look at “self proclaimed business men”, like you and wonder what it would be like to be afforded the opportunity that you have been given. You no longer can be trusted to hold a valuable opinion after this awesome display of professionalism. You’re fake comments of gratitude towards your fans is a total joke… as you have now shown your community what you think of us… and yes… when you spoke to me… you spoke to everyone who is like me. It is obvious by your reply that you hold no regard for the people who put you on that podium you squat so proudly in front of.

Listening to you is suicide

You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I feel sorry for those who follow you with such passion and intent. They have no clue who you really are, but I sir, have gotten a taste… it is rancid. You my friend are a glutton. A greedy little man pissed at the world for not being cut out to live amongst the people, and survive in the real world. I Congratulate you for finding your curtain to hide behind… Ha ha, the best pat is that it’s behind the safety of a sandboxed XBox360 website. Wow.

I need to address “Son”…

Vic, I’m not sure if it’s a limitation in your vocabulary or simply a comprehension deficiency due to old age, but I am not your son… and I don’t appreciate being called such. In fact… it’s a bit demeaning, but I’m sure that was your intent. So, please correct that and address me as PB… got it “pops”?

In a league of your own

You made it quite clear that you feel as if your in the major leagues, while I’m still in line for a dizzy bat contest. Fair enough, but I find it interesting that you assume you know something about the work that I do… or that I have done. I also love how in all of your genius… you really think I’m dumb enough to let the cat out of this bag… LOL. Yeh!

Your “early judgment” is what the real world marketeers call a fatal flaw “pops”. You’ve sized up the enemy before you even know where the war is… ask Napoleon about that. But for a guy with 800 websites… having 8 worth mentioning is piddlings in my book so I’m really not impressed. In fact, if they are anything like your Xbox site… Wow, I see why you’d need 800… hedging your bets on a few would be to risky. the spamming of hundreds on the other hand… remarkable.

Your amazing 1% success rate

You made it clear that this is a topic on SEO not making money so personally, I’d rather have 10 sites with only 5 SEO worthy ones worth mentioning. That would be a 50% success rate. Sounds like your teaching some pretty good stuff over there at “Blogger on a Leash” if it’s okay for 1 in a 100 sites to be a winner… that my friend is 1% success rate… but wait… only 7 or 8 good ones in you “cluster”! There is something wrong with that picture for sure.

Playing by fair rules

Vic, I almost said it’s not worth fussing with… then I thought about taking your challenge, your pride, your ego, and your money… hell let’s up the anti… I’d want your blog too. None of this should be any problem at all considering you are so confident in your win.

In the end Vic, I’m more that willing to take the “pops” challenge… make it interesting and include Blogger Unleashed while your at it. If you want to play fair and show off those skills… I’m game. Hell I’ll even come to Vegas. From here… I’m open to discussion, but we are both very busy… so let’s not play games. You want my 20 grand? You’ll earn it fairly… if I want yours… I’ll earn it fairly.

Alright people it was about time that someone offered up another contest! When I saw the post go up on Bryan Clark’s Site Flipping University… I was THRILLED… and then… I was INTIMIDATED! Even though you guys should go read the full contest rules on your own… I’ve put the points system up just to show you guys how well thought out this contest is.

Contestants will be given points based on the following criteria.

• 10 Points for each Feedburner Subscriber
• 2 Points for each unique visitor
• 1 Point for each pageview
• 5 Points for each unique visitor from an ORGANIC source (i.e. Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc.)
• 10 Points for listing the auction
• 100 Points for a successful sale (price doesn’t matter)
• 50 Points for having the MOST traffic
• 100 Points for having the most ORGANIC traffic
• 100 Points for having the most Feedburner Subscribers
• 50 points to anyone who opens a new Hostgator account under my (his) affiliate link. The proceeds will be split with the winner of the contest. Pretty good deal right? And it’s $10 a month for unlimited domains, and the best host on the market… (I’m actually the best host on the market)

I Need a Brand New Domain?

After you start reading… you start to understand that this isn’t your normal contest. No way… this sucker has got a twist in the pickle like none other! Holy smokes Bryan… I’ve got to register a brand new domain name? You’re really making this a toughie aren’t you? As if domain names aren’t already hard enough to find we’ve got to find a good one… that’s never been registered before… build a blog around it… and sell it in 30 days!

Who Needs Money When You’ve Got Traffic?

Okay so we all know by know that Bryan’s no push over with his “rules and regs”… but he’s kicking up a notch by not giving ANY credit to the blog that sells for highest price. C’mon Bryan can’t ya give a guy a break! We only get points for organic traffic! When this thing is all done, I’ll never want to sell it after all that bloody work!

Get Over There and Register!

Well I must say that just reading Bryan’s post is bringing out the competitor in me, so I’m seriously thinking about getting on board and joining up even though I’ve now officially got NO extra time! All in all, I think that this is a sweet contest with some pretty sweet prizes that every blogger would want! Let me know if you guys and gals plan on joining… you never know… I might just beg Bryan to let me donate some sort of kick ass prize!
