Those contest winners unhappy with the script they got as they feel it is insufficient, post here and when I come up with something to replace it, I'll send it to you guys. I feel bad that a lot of you don't like what you got and are overlooking the sheer power and potential of it. But fine, your choice.

If you have any new ideas to replace it, do post it here. The $25k thread is for a contest on it's own, not for clashing with anyone. So post your gripes here from now on please.

Alright, first 10 users to hit 500* posts gets a free site made by my team. Trust me, you will want this in your arsenal of sites. They require little or no updating. I will either pick out a niche for you, or you can give me one and I'll have the site created for you. These sites do VERY well because their content is constantly updated, and all of the ads don't look like ads at all, so they get tons of attention (clicks and sales).

Seems pretty obvious it was not a niche site with unique content. Frankly I would think by know people would know that these sites are what Jon does well. He has repeatedly said replication is what he believes it. Even over the whole 500 words script thing, Jon made it very clear he would make 1000's of niche sites using that script.

I am rambling - but a script that is easy to install, run and replicate is a good prize and can give you some extra pocket change along the way.

I think that I made my feelings on this pretty well know in this post: http://www.wickedfire.com/showpost.php?p=15910&postcount=90

Here's an idea. Give us what you said that you were going to provide, which was a site created by your team with niche content.

I would also be interested to hear suggestions from peach and VinSVT since they are the only others who have had the nerve to admit that the prize was seriously lacking.

Damn I wish I had that script :)

Go read the thread. You can download it for free with a link that peach posted.

Its nothing more than a WP with RSS feeds.
 
I'm not necessarily unhappy with the prize... because I haven't seen anything yet. I was, however, a bit shocked to read about what was going on.

I participated in the refer 30 members contest, which was by far easier than making 500 posts, so I don't feel too cheated. I managed to refer 65 people, but my name still says that I am "pending confirmation". Surely 30 out of those 65 have to be "valid". As a note to Jon, I have sent you a PM and an AIM message regarding "futher action" for the prize fulfillment, but haven't heard anything back.

I am fine with not getting anything in return, but I will learn my lesson and not participate in future contests.

That is not to say that I am getting angry at Jon or leaving WF, I still enjoy reading the posts over here. I will also still be subscribing to the "Premium Section" when it is launched... at least to give it a chance.
 
I haven't recieved the price yet :) Haven't bought a domain for it - and I've been offline for a while.

I'll get thinking tonight j0n, then I'll PM you requesting a copy of the script. I'm sure I'll be happy :)
 
I'm fine with my prize although I wouldnt' have minded a unique content niche site instead ;)

For all you complainers have you actually tried making a site with the script?

Hey Payton, why don't you try toning down the ass kissing a little? I mean for Christ's sake the amount of hero worship from you and some of the others is just unreal.
 
For the 30 referrers. I'll be going over it this weekend. My apologies for the lag. If you are reading about the script and it's unhappy winners, and think you may not want to try it and want something else instead, let me know here please and I'll put you on the list for a secondary prize instead. That's the best I can come up with at the moment too. I need some time to think of something else instead.

Just because he's happy with the prize and not bitching about it doesn't mean he's kissing my ass.. Check yaself befo you wreck yaself, booyakasha!

I did. Everyone figured it was something insane and great with all sorts of bells and whistles that the world had never seen before. It should be a well known fact that I make a lot of money using super simple scripts and building sites that don't take much work at all. Here's some food for thought.. if the script doesn't work, then why do I have a 2 million niche project lined up for it? Do you honestly believe that I would be investing so much time and money into such a huge longterm project like that for something that doesn't work? Some of you are living in la la land if you think that it doesn't do what I've said it is capable of doing. All you need to do is try it before you start bashing it.

I'd be 100% satisfied to get the script and simply see how you implemented it on one of your sites.

And as a bonus... how about some of the steps you take to promote each of the 100s or 1000s of sites you churn out. It has to be a systematic process... correct?

Well, if he wasn't so blinded by his hero worship for you then he would be able to recognize the fact that the prize is nothing to be happy about.

Oh, and Jon, you might want to read up on how to provide customer service, because when your prize winners come to you with complaints it's a good idea not to attack them as you did with peach or to be dismissive by stating that they are merely bitching.

You can ask Jon, I was probably one of the first to email/IM him and ask him why the prize wasn't as expected. Did I get what I was expecting? No. Do I feel like I got something of less value? Yeah to some degree. Can I still make some money with this script? I hope so. How much did I lose because of all this? A little time.

Instead of whining on the forum about how the prize sucks, I'm playing around with it and seeing what I can do with it. If you visit the other big forums you'll see that people sell/buy these sites all the time. So you could buy a domain, build up the site, and sell it... rinse, repeat. Ooops, I let out a big secret.

The type of sites that this system builds can hardly be called longterm. They are nothing more than splogs. I hardly think that they will stand the test of time.

We aren't whining. We are just stating the truth. If you are satisfied with receiving a sub-standard prize then so be it, but some of us would like to receive what was promised.

Unless RSS feeds are considered "spam" I think these have great potential on the mass-scale. I think what Jon is doing is amazing, he is giving out some of his biggest money making secrets, and the winners are still complaining. Try them out! He's telling you they work so believe him.

Well, the last time I checked you weren't a winner, so your opinion is uninformed.
