If you read my blog you have probably seen the interview I did with Markus Frind. Today Shoemoney made a post on his blog saying that Markus is a lier, he doesn't make 10k a day off of Adsense, and his site was nothing until he started saying he was making 10k a day.
Do I have solid proof that Markus makes $10k a day? No, the only way I could is if Google specifically said so. Unless there is an Adsense case study on his site I will probably never know.

Here is what I do know, his Alexa rank is 837 , Websearch puts him at 374 , and Hitwise ranks him as the 5th largest dating site. If that information is correct I have no problem believing he is making $10,000 a day. Of course it could all be faked.
I am looking back into this story and talking to some people. What I can say for certain is that Markus has been going around to a lot of different conferences telling people about his site and how much he is making. This is a far cry from Shoemoney's claims.
As I said, I don't have solid evidence that Markus makes $10k a day off of Adsense. But, I am kind of disappointed that Shoemoney blatantly called him a lier just because he solicited an interview (by the way, I went out of my way and specifically tracked down Markus and asked to interview him, not the other way around.)
The reason I am posting this here and not on my blog is because all of my readers don't need to be caught up in this drama. Once I can get some facts straight (is Markus faking the traffic data or not?), then I will make a post either apologizing to my readers for making a mistake or asking Shoemoney for an apology. For now I'll let it be.
For the record, I like Shoemoney and I have made some good money by following the advice on his blog. If you don't read it, I recommend that you do.
