Kim Rowley thought she found her soulmate in 2006 when she met Patrick Reikofski. Hoping to live happily ever after, Kim taught Patrick everything she knew about affiliate marketing and paid for him to attend many industry events to learn more.
Kim, a fellow Nebraskan, was raising four kids while building her affiliate marketing empire from her home. Kim created several affiliate sites for Patrick to maintain in hopes he could quit his day job in Denver and join her.
Patrick failed miserably at maintaining the websites and broke up with Kim in 2008 saying a long distance relationship will never work. Kim was devastated.
Kim turned to her friends for comfort from the the break-up, one of those friends being Aunesty Janssen. Aunesty was an affiliate manager located in Kansas City, and Kim had actually introduced Patrick to her. Aunesty consoled Kim and vowed to help get the two back together.
Aunesty convinced Kim that Patrick felt like he was working for Kim, instead of a business partner. Aunesty’s advice was to transfer some domain names into Patrick’s name to show him how much she really did believe in him and love him.
Blinded by love and willing to do anything to make the relationship work, Kim handed profitable websites from her affiliate empire over to Patrick. (I will never understand women).
Within a week, the sites were all updated with Aunesty’s affiliate id’s. Not only did Aunesty screw Kim out her websites, but Aunesty, who claimed to be a lesbian, was also literally screwing Patrick. They ended up having a kid together.
The whole ordeal was a nightmare for Kim. In the blink of an eye, she lost her boyfriend, a best friend and thousands of dollars. But with her back against the wall, Kim came back stronger than ever. In less than six months, she had rebuilt her career and was cemented in the Internet marketing community as an industry leader.
Fast forward to less than 6 months ago. Kim is a very successful affiliate marketer and performance marketing consultant. She is on the board of advisers for the Affiliate Summit, and is often quoted in the mainstream press. She also contributes to Suze Orman’s new Money Minded Moms project.
But during this time her ex-friend Aunesty Janssen had a massive series of setbacks and financial failures. She tried to start a forum for affiliate marketers and even partnered with Webmaster Radio to start a new conference called the Affiliate Convention. After the first event Webmaster Radio revealed to me they would no longer be working with her as she brought little to no value.
Looks like Aunesty’s plan had not quite worked out as planned…. With zero help from Kim the couple were complete affiliate marketing failures. In the last couple years the sites they had conned Kim out of were not producing any revenue and they both had to now get day jobs working 9-5 for…. guess who? YAHOO!.
Aunesty continued her infatuation with Kim and stalked her everywhere.
Last fall we hired Kim to be our affiliate manager for the ShoeMoney System. Kim managed our program in Shareasale.
When Kim announced we were now in Shareasale, one of the first affiliates to sign up was Aunesty Janssen. Now Kim had told me about how this girl still stalked her, but I told her she was just being paranoid.
Aunesty registered the domain “shoemoneymethod.com as her means of promotion but never did anything with it. As of the time of writing this its still a basic wordpress site.
Fast forward to one week ago. I get a random email out of the blue from Kim saying that when the new Affiliate Summit Forums opened, someone was using Kim Rowley’s online moniker of “KIMarketing”. When she inquired to the owners about who had already registered her trademark they said the email was affiliates@shoemoneymethod.com and assumed it was her because of her relationship to our company. When they realized it was someone impersonating her, they turned over the account to her.
Then… the next day (January 21’st 2011) a new blog popped up with the domain Kim-Rowley.com.
There was like 90 posts on the site with titles like:
Kim Rowley – Kimarketing – Slut
Kim Rowley Affiliate Slut
The Whore that is Kim Rowley
Just tons of really scathing things written about her. The site also contained personal stuff about Kim and Patrick’s intimate relationship that only someone close to Kim would know. Someone like Aunesty.
Then at the same time *someone* created the account @kim_rowley on twitter and a fake account on FaceBook both using the real Kim Rowley’s face. The accounts were used to spam the kim-rowley.com website to all of Kim’s friends.
The domain was registered using GoDaddy’s proxy service which keeps the owner anonymous so there was no way for sure to know who the owner of the site was, but Kim was sure that it was Aunesty Janssen and Patrick Reikofski. I told her again she was just being paranoid, but I told her how to get it removed. I also advised she contact the local police and FBI agency and gave her contacts here in Nebraska of people we knew from our own cases.
Long story short-er is that the law enforcement officials were able to get the site removed from GoDaddy. Interestingly enough not only did GoDaddy take down the site but also removed the privacy.
As of today the whois says the following:

Aunesty Janssen and Patrick Reikofski are scum and I am telling this tale in hopes that they get a taste of their own medicine. Except I am not going to hide behind some anonymous registrar.
Anyone who has ever met Kim knows that she is a complete sweetheart and will do anything to help out anyone. There are people out their like Aunesty Janssen who pray for your downfall.
Now, will they fuck your boyfriend, steal your websites and try to character assassinate you until you die? You tell me.
