Confession: I FAILED the WARRIOR TEST Allen Graves has SO Embarrased

41 replies
I just did Allen's test, and only got an 80. That is a FAIL

He has a test here: Members of the Warrior Forum - Are They Really Who They Say They Are?

I do have to reconsider from his post - is everyone for real here? I consider myself a scam expert of sorts, and I have to say, some of those pictures have me thinking now.

And after the hairy chest video Jason put on FB a couple of weeks ago, I really have to wonder.

But we are about making money in this part of the forum, so I will indulge.

Do you really want to find out who is for real?

Here are some simple basic things to do.

Start with the website of the person in question. Do a whois search on godaddy or where ever. Look up their information. If it is private, move on.

Go to a back link checker and type in the domain with and without the "www" cause you will get different results.

Take note of the sites linking to the main site. Go to the sites, and see where the links are stemming from and what are the keywords used to link to those sites.

Snoop here in the WF - click on people and look where they've been posting and what advice they've been dishin' out. Are they really giving good advice?

Google till your fingers bleed. Yes. Google the name of the person, check out every networking site they are involved with and just keep digging.

These are just some starter techniques, but you will not only find out who is for real, but you may very well figure out how they got "there."

    Don't feel so bad, I only got a 70.

    Thing is, he doesn't tell you what the correct answers are, so it's impossible to remediate.

    I got 90%! I didn't know what the second most popular forum was. I got the rest though! I thought I was going to do terribly, as I have only really been on the forum for a few weeks (despite my join date).

            Will there be an official score card of all this? Or is it all on the honor system?

              Hi,

              100%

              Most people will trip up on control panel, because it's not your avatar that shows, it's your profile picture (which is different) - but most people won't realise.

              Which is why we get lots of people who put in their profile pic and wonder why they have no avatar showing in their post.

              Also the copyright date is a tricky one.

              I see you didn't put the picture of Frank Kern and shaggy off scooby doo Allen...and Bev and T.....

                  Some funny look-a-likes too and there's a thread of mine that's been going a while in the Off Topic forum that has a few more:

    Glad you are all getting a kick out of it. Peter, I SWEAR I didn't copycat this from your thread. The idea just popped into my head when I saw HeySals pic and thought she looked like Loretta Swit. LOL

    Anyhow, here are the results so far - average score 80%. #6 is kicking everybody's butt.




    Sean - I'm still on the fence about which Baldwin brother you are...I just couldn't resist posting the chia version! LOL Now I'm scared because I know you're gonna get me back for that one.

    Jagged - I thought about posting your pic with James Hetfield but couldn't find a good matchng pic. I also had Peter and A.W. Thompson on the preliminary list but couldn't find a good match - funny.

    There are some really good ones in Peters post as well. http://www.warriorforum.com/off-topi...ted-birth.html

    Let's not overlook the real reason behind the article...it's an article at an article directory! This is what I've been calling Media Article Marketing and I think it's starting to take off! It seems to be loved by Social Media sites as well. I'm gonna do some more of these and continue testing the waters.

    The article has only been live for 11 hours and I tweeted it twice. Since then it has gotten over 1,200 hits, it's all over Twitter and Facebook, been digged over 30 times, it's getting tons of email hits and is getting about 5-10 Stumbles an hour.

    It's also on page 2 of Google for "Warrior Forum" and has 3 positions on the 1st page for "Warrior Forum Members" and #1 overall for "Warrior Forum Celebrities." The latter are probably not good money-makers, but hey - it's ranked! LOL

    Sometime overnight it even hit page 3 of Alexas "Hot Sites" which I never even knew about. It's the top pages ON THE INTERNET at the time based on their toolbar.

    Then there are the clickthroughs and conversions...but I won't get into that. I'll just say that spending an hour on the article paid off.

    The point is, you can do this for your niche if you come up with something good and compelling, then add some good media and piggy-back off another site's established Google love. Just Tweet it and it goes from there!

    Respectfully,
    Allen Graves

          No, actually I clicked a wrong answer by accident (wasn't paying attention)
          and got the control panel one screwed up.

          I can count the number of times I've looked at that control panel in 2 years
          plus on one hand.

          The member question I thought was a trick as technically, Allen Says isn't
          a member. He's the owner of the former. I wasn't sure if that was going to
          trip me up, but then I couldn't for the life of me figure out who Jeremy
          Taylor was. I know we have a Jeremy at this forum (right now can't think
          of the last name) but I was pretty sure it wasn't Taylor. So I crossed my
          fingers on that one.

          Anyway, it was a fun quiz even if I did fail.

    Hysterically funny. I managed a 90% fail after accidentally clicking a wrong answer to the easiest question there, and making Jeremy Taylor a legend in his own lunchtime. Allen Says? Never heard of him...

    The comments raised a few laughs too, especially the idea of Kevin Riley as Borat. Brilliant
