Truth be told: nobody is going to miss Rick Latona's AEIOU.com services

Quote:

Yep... The world is a better place without it. Now, as I am sure you already knew, I have been one of the most vocal critics of Rick's services over the past year. I have also been one of the biggest fans because I admire anybody who is involved with development one way or another. So, I am going to be brutally honest here and just tell it like it is and then we can all just move on and get back to business. Transparency is good. It is something new in the domain business and people do seem to like it... What a big surprise!

It is no secret that the AEIOU development service it self wasn't that good. It was barely acceptable actually. The content and search engine optimization was poor and the costs for the "minisites" that became so popular over the past 12 month's were way too high for the quality of work and what the client was getting for his money as the end result was an overpriced "quick job". There was really no long term value to the sites being produced whatsoever unfortunately and nobody can argue otherwise. If you failed to recognize this fact, then take it from an expert, they were never worth more than $99 max.

Yet you were happy to profit from his name.
Can't have it both ways...

**stock_post** · 10-23-2009, 11:42 PM

he is a big joke on this form and I always get to laugh.

We need people like that if not our lives will all be serious all the time.

Mike - I like to man keep rocking the form..

**mike031** · 10-24-2009, 11:05 AM

it was just my 2c worth anyways.....

can all just move along now, its a new day.

pcproffenno · 10-24-2009, 11:11 AM

What's the point making a thread like this? Couldn't you have kept this to yourself or do you have something unsettled with Rick? ..

**mike031** · 10-24-2009, 11:26 AM

i really have nothing for or against rick.. he is a smart and successful businessman... and he does not really care what anybody here thinks of him

i just shared my thoughts and provided insight into what has transpired on my website... i am sure you can appreciate me taking some time to clear things up, right

**wmloz** · 10-24-2009, 12:30 PM

Sounds like ur riding in on somebody elses coat tails or trying to steal his thunder. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. Why don't you make a name for yourself instead of trying to pinch off of someone elses? And when I say make a name for yourself, I don't mean like the "fine" name you have now...

**dninvest** · 10-25-2009, 04:15 AM

aeiou was a terrible service

glad it's gone they were real crap

**money-raker** · 10-25-2009, 05:24 AM

I dont think anyone would miss any of these mini site services, yours included.

nothing special is being done,
There all crap anyway.

stick a wordpress blog up, install a template and write a few articles.

nothing special.

Somebody start up the popcorn, here we go again.

**mike031** · 10-25-2009, 11:32 AM

ron jackson covered the domain development services out there earlier this year..

aeiou = out of business

site graduate = out of business

whypark = bought out by a domain parking company

devhub = spun off as epik.com to create some more excitement about the service

the only one who has been rock solid.......

**money-raker** · 10-25-2009, 05:33 PM

dev hub is the only 1 that will be here next year, thats for sure.

once there system is "dumbed down" a little for the mass developers out there it will nock you and the rest out of business once and for all. and we'll have no more crap lying around IMHO!

if rick latona strated doing what you do, charging $100 for a wordpress site 99.9% of your clients would switch to him.

whypark got bought out because it was a good service,

no one will be buying you out anytime soon IMHO!

once you get an offer to buy your buisness then you can brag about it, not before.

Truth be told - this thread is bullshit & should be closed.

**Johnn** · 10-25-2009, 09:47 PM

You can either advertise your service or products here or making comments about other site in the "other general discussion section" but you should not bad mouth someone else in order to promote your site.
