It is always a pain to pull links for someone that shuts down a site. Fellucia Blow was shut down in order to take over a year of Mr. Peabody's hard work, not to mention the affiliates that pushed the site and made the Fellucia Blow girl a ton of fucking money. And it wasn't just that, they shut him down after they had got all their new sites in place. OK, that's their business, but then they showed that they had tracked all of his traffic sources and, behind his back, went to the source owners to cut him out and basically try to steal all of his traffic and sources. So all of you affiliates, including me, that wasted months of promotion on this girl, take a look. Now that they have managed to get out of a solid contract with Mr. Peabody, they are going to come around GFY to try harvest his old Fellucia Blow affiliates. You reap what you sow. Absolutely no reason to fuck Mr. Peabody over considering the huge amount of money he made them, well, except greed. So keep in mind, Mr. Peabody wasn't the only one fucked over, so were all his affiliates that pushed the original Felllucia Blow model. I wonder why they wouldn't have continued a successful business by merely negotiating with Mr. Peabody to switch to an affiliate position. They could have protected the income, the brand and the affiliates. I guess greed is a fucking priority with some people. I think I will stay the hell away from them.

They tried their best to get the domain name, as it was they bought a bunch of different variations of Fellucia Blow to try to siphon as much traffic and SEO as they could. This is the primary reason small webmasters like me or Mr. Peabody require ownership of the domain. At least it is some form of self-protection. There is a lot of crap that has gone on in the last few months not mentioned here. Mr. Peabody runs a pretty decent operation, everything is documented and contracted. Doesn't leave a lot of room for debate when everything is on paper and completely legal. Affiliates that are pissed need to know that this is not Mr. Peabody's fault.
