Is Adam Dicker a criminal? You decide.

[S-B]

This story starts with DNF; a barren wasteland that once was a leading forum within the domain industry. While the forum itself played a huge role in propagating the myth that is Adam Dicker, the story really begins with DNF College in the summer of 2011.

From what I understand, Adam still owes north of $33,000 to previous customers and business partners. As I receive more information, I will update this figure.

 

[WPM]

Apparently life is as life does.

I am not saying that those who worked for Adam and did not get paid don't deserve to be compensated. Nor am I saying that those who have legitimate complaints and are due refunds shouldn't get them.

Regards,

WPM

 

[DomainGist]

the long term affect they may have on those who may lose there jobs because of it.

That's other families outside of Adam's household being affected.

There were only two genuine people listed on the 'team' page of the WebCorp website, and I doubt either are short of cash considering one was Adam Dicker and the other was Vice President RW, who seemed to have enough money to buy a ticket to The Domain Conference and fly from the Netherlands to Florida earlier this month, so who is it you are worried about exactly? What people? What jobs?

 

[GermanRaven]

Just to register my interest -- I have a larger refund due that Adam has promised to resolve this Thursday or Friday. Hopefully, he will honor his word on this and I can put the money into getting my site properly built. I am *very* grateful for Shane's actions in support of those of us in this unfortunate position.

 

[AllieO]

That's other families outside of Adam's household being affected. The word "criminal" was a bad choice and slanderous.

Just a small point of information, but slander is spoken defamation. Written, published defamation is libel.

usacordbank.com is going to a sales page. All that cord blood is going to thaw.

Adam here's a easier question then my last two...

 

[Derick R.]

It would be more informative to this thread as to what you were promised and what your agreement says? And before making an opinion, JMO.

I was asked What I want in the site when purchased..
I replied with basically a response in the context of "I watched Adam Dickers videos on Domainsherpa about Building out domain names into successful bussineses with Affiliate links,Adsense Lead gen etc.,so Whatever would be the most optimal for such"
The Description on NicheWebsites at the time of purchase said "Original
Content from how team of professional developers". But yet :
http://www.copyscape.com/view.php?o...cles.com/las-vegas-rental-cars/&w=126&i=2&r=6

I'm not trying to shame anyone or start shit. I saw numerous pages about people coming out,mostly aimed to victims.I just felt like voicing my honest experience(whether horrible,normal,or whatever)I'm not looking for a war,or investigation.I don't have an in depth,time stretched "Victim" situation like LannyB and few others. Numerous posts explained they cringe and do not recommend doing business with NicheWebsites etc. Numerous things and have been brought to light,I just want to whipe it clean to be honest and move on,like many others are trying to do.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

I appreciate everyone's contributions to this thread.

However, I think it's time to stop with the banter.

Let's allow the victims to post their complaints and allow Adam to post when resolutions have been made.

Good luck on that one buddy
Hope you get your money GermanRaven

Another new product there from Adam Dicker - SEO Insurance

Wonder what happens when you make a claim?

http://seobrokers.ca/seo-insurance.html

SEO Insurance
We pride ourselves with the quality of our link building and network members. We want to provide quality, relevant linking that is effective and safe. To do this we hand review all new members before allowing them to join our platform.

We keep a close eye on low quality sites with spun content, sites that are part of a bad link neighborhood, sites that contain malware, sites that are loaded with spam, and many other quality control checks.

We even keep an eye on multiple sites joining the same category on the same IP address.

We have a strict no spam, no link farm policy. We only allow real websites with unique content that adds value to our platform.

To top it off we give you full control over your link partners. If you don’t like a site that you are linking to, or a site linking to you, simply disable the link at any time.

We have been developing and tweaking our platform for a little over a decade to include every SEO safety factor that we can think of. With each new change in the search engines algorithms comes a new change in our methodologies. This ensures we stay up to date, and more importantly our service remains effective and safe.

Well that link to Copscape says that page is 97% Duplicate Content. That and a bunch of affiliate content is likely to get a site de-indexed in Google. It is then very unlikely to make any money at all, if it even ever was in the first place.

The comparison below was created by Copyscape, which searched for copies of this page:

http://lasvegasvehicles.com/las-vegas-rental-cars/

The page below has 458 words matching 97% of the page, as highlighted below:

Like Shane said leave this thread for the victims but people have to continue to critisize and lay blame.
Shut up and let the victims speak

WHAT!?!?!?! Who do you think you are to tell anyone to shut up?? People are free to say whatever they want. I you don't like it, there's the door...

Well if you are not a victim why are you speaking?

I have encouraged victims to speak up and have thanked them for doing so, but there are a number of valid reasons why people may not be able to speak up publicly. Not least of all the risk of ending up on a Suckers List - these are known lists of people that have been scammed that conmen sell on to other scammers:

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Your turning us all into victims, listening to you. Shane wants the truth, the victims want their money.
You keep doing what your doing, blabbing off, is only gonna make it harder for the victims to get there money.

Ya i am a victim, i had a niche websites affiliate banner on numerous sites. Now i must take them down. As you can tell by this post my time is valuable so i will be invoicing Dicker

If you haven't already, make sure Shane adds you to the list of payment claims at the start of the thread.

 

[Jeff Markus]

Everyone that has had a nichewesites.com made for them needs to go to copyscape.com and test your site right now.

I might start a new post for this as this might even effect more people than the ads scandal.

Go test your sites people!

 

[Adam Dicker]

Since this thread is turning more and more into a witch hunt I will no longer be positing in this thread.

Feel free to email me at [email protected] should you have any questions or issues.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

No ya, anyways. I had Affiliate banners on my websites. For nichewebsites.com.
I was promoting this... Disease
Thang God i never made any affiliate sales.
I would have felt so guilty that i was responsible for someone's pain and suffering.

Can someone send the link to the template Adam was using to build his sites?

 

[Jeff Markus]

You couldn't have known masterfomains all you can do is prevent it and not allow him to con people again using domaining as his platform.

Spread the word about copyscape.com others may have had stolen text put on their domains. Putting those domain assets at risk as well.

If you built a website using ANY of Adam Dickers companies you need to test your site on copyscape right now. You might have stolen text on your domain putting it at risk!!

This is the lead gen theme which he used for most, if not all of the sites in the DNF College course.
