Seriously, because he’ll blow his fat mouth on Tech Crunch. The only saving grace of this article is that Tech Crunch readers are the same demographic that generally have ad blockers installed.
Dear affiliate marketers: Stop letting Dennis Yu guest post on your blog.
On to the article …
If you haven’t read it, it basically accuses any affiliate offer on Facebook as being spam. Or scam. Apparently the two words are interchangeable, so it doesn’t matter. (Paying for clicks = spamming somehow…) He goes into great detail on the Facebook ecosystem. Almost painful detail.
The gist of the article is Yu hating on game traffic. This makes no fucking sense. Either pay money to update your three-legged goat in Farmville, or sign up for some fucking Blockbuster. If you’re playing the game then the designers have a right to make money. You think those developers and designers for the game are free? You think those server costs for millions of hits a month are going to pay themselves? The developers of these games do not come up with them out of the goodness of their own fucking heart.
You don’t pick up the latest Madden at the store and walk out without paying for it, do you?
Stop Snitching: The Dennis Yu Agenda
If you haven’t noticed, Dennis Yu has popped up almost everywhere. He’ll guest post on your blog like it’s going out of style. His only agenda of course, is to get readers to his blog where he tries to leverage the traffic into his local lead gen company.
So if you’re chatting it up with Yu, make sure you keep a lid on anything that might be deemed as “scammy” by him, cause he’s sell out the whole industry for personal gain.
Give Back the Money!
Dennis Yu’s local lead gen division isn’t profitable. Fact. Inside sources bitch. It can’t be profitable until it’s scaled to a certain level. So how does he keep the wheels turning …?
Gee… could it be affiliate marketing?
BlitzLocal is no longer in the business of spam, but they do specialize in Facebook advertising and are now using the platform they’ve developed to run campaigns for big brands and small businesses.
When did that happen? 2 days before you wrote the Tech Crunch article?
Now all the sudden, Yu is too good for affiliate marketing. Maybe he hit a tipping point in his business and doesn’t need it anymore – so shit, might as well sell out the whole industry to get some visitors to his local lead gen blog. So you used affiliate marketing as a stepping stone – perfectly fine. But if you are going to shit on everyone on the way out, give the fucking money back. Seriously. Or donate it all to charity. Shit, you could’ve kept it too and no one would’ve cared but you had to go yappin on Tech Crunch.
This would be like me, working for the mafia for a few years. I made some money breaking knee caps, and after a while I retired from the game. But I need money to pay the mortgage because I’m not smashing bricks into people’s heads anymore. “OH!! I’ll write a best-selling novel on my experiences – naming names, outlining the shit I did, and generally pissing off everyone I’ve ever worked with!”
Don’t get me wrong… plenty of shadiness in this industry that needs to be exposed. But this is just too far.

Best fucking barman post I have ever read in my entire life. I am serious too.
Dennis Yu is a dumbass anyway. He should focus on promoting his own stupid lead gen shit, rather than naming industry names and calling out Facebook. What a dickhole.
I’ve heard from tons of people he’s broke ha ha
his fake ass cartoon picture is googlyeyed
Dennis Yu = Fuck Yu
Fuck da-Police and Fuck Dennis Yu!
Great post Barman…
I’m involved with a community of local technology guys. They all know I do Facebook advertising and some lead generation but I don’t tell them anymore than that. They are so nosy trying to get at what i’m doing and all read tech crunch.
This article fucks me in a few different ways.
who the fuck is dickspice?
Barman is the man.
I knew I could count on Yu, Barman.
barman FTW again dawg.
BARMAN IS THE FOREMOST AUTHORITY ON AFFILIATE MARKETING NEWS. LET IT BE KNOWN!

That article REALLY pissed me off when I read it yesterday, I didn’t even notice that it was Dennis Yu. Now I’m even more pissed. How lame of an “ex-affiliate” to out people making a legimate business on Facebook. Screw him.
Used to work for them. full of high school dorpouts and fags.

Re:Who is this Dennis Yu cat anyways?
Hes a homo who runs a local seo company charging $2-3 an hour
ohhhhh the draaaaaama….
quit crying you bunch of fags.
Who gives a fuck about what Yu said or his fucking blog posts.
@GrowSomeTesticles. No one reads his blog, but quite a few people read TechCrunch.
Good to see someone step out and express their opnion.
It’s clear that Arrington has less than stellar motives in outing the incent networks for FB apps (linkbait) and aside from his “how to make $100,000 in a month” guest posts, Dennis seemed an ok guy.
He could have taken the high road when talking about SuperRewards’ Chickenhole and OfferPal’s Anu, but unfortunately he took the low road and gave a Fox news account of them.
I expected much more from him. Sad.
ARE YOU GUYS RELATED??? I HEARD YOU WERE??? CONFIRM OR DENY THIS RUMOR PLEASE!! I HOPE NOT ANDREW I REALLY LIKE YOUR BLOG AND PODCASTS!!!
Go eat some sushi and die you shit bag. Dennis Yu Asshole…
Tell Dennis to stop snitching, funny how the ones who normally hate are the ones who ain’t making money.
HATERS GONNA HATE, RIGHT BRO
The article did have some painful details for sure.
I DON’T LIKE YOU
Motion: Yu is a chinese name, not Japanese as I guess you were implying.
Ya someone talked about how crappy the ads are on FB, big surprise. They have been crap for over 10 months, the last time I used it much.
There is Adtech NY this week and someone that is probably going to be there did some linkbait, another huge surprise.
This is not the end of the world and you really should not count on one site or platform for income.
BTW I dont think any policies have changed at FB or anyone noticed any drop off in CTR yet. Why dont you all go ballistic when that happens?
I have no hatred for anyone but I will say goddamn this post made me lol in more ways than one.
DEFINE LOL
So I guess we’re supposed to get cartoon avatars made in our likeness and when we fail at marketing, snitch on Techcrunch and tell everyone how it’s done? That seems to do the trick…
Damn, if he’s going to Adtech in NY I sure hope he keeps his head down.
YEAH ALL THE DUMB BLOGGERS DO IT. TYLER CRUZ HAS ONE. THAT GUY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
BARMAN DOESN’T HAVE ONE BUT I BET HE WILL AND I BET HE WILL WRITE A STORY FOR FOX NEWS OR SOMETHING AND I BET HE WILL PUT HIS CARTOON AVATAR ON IT AND I BET HE WILL CRY AFTER. I THINK HE CRIES A LOT.
Dennis yu, smells like poo!
I know this is history but I need to look up this sellout article.
This isn’t the smartest of moves by Dennis Yu. IMO he should focus on his own lead gen product rather than resorting to cheap tactics.
