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.

Maybe lone wolf just needed some of Adam Dickers SEOInsurance for copyscaping?

Lol.

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

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!!

 

[dordomai]

anyone got their post deleted?

Yes, I have a few deleted and was told to not post anything unless it is exactly related to the topic.

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

Maybe you did make sales but he never told / paid you.

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"

I'm not trying to shame anyone or start sh*t. 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.

That website will never make you a penny and you might even get penalized / banned from Adsense. I hope you didnt pay a lot for it.

$500.

$500.

Ouch. A wordpress template with a couple of links, you could have gotten the same for 50$ / 100$

Well they say, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen...."

BUT, you started this fire here dude and the way you've handled it speaks volumes about your character...

Well they also say, "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."

Food for thought...
