Stories from the people who were there
Each card goes to the original publisher, post, transcript, or interview.
Why she uses Dollar-a-Day
Liana published a favorable explanation of my Dollar-a-Day method and paired it with a photograph of us together.
A new day of filming together
Liana’s post says we filmed content together, then describes my passion and kindness in the industry.
A recommendation from the early affiliate era
When Murray Newlands asked Scott whom he recommended in 2009, Scott named me and mentioned that my company had moved into their building.
A historical referral that still makes me smile
Murray sent readers to me for Facebook application promotion. The service dates the story perfectly; Facebook apps were a very specific season.
“Bang on the money” in Banff
George called me a good friend, remembered what I taught him about personal branding, and used that phrase for the strategies we discussed.
The airplane seat that became an episode
Jaime’s episode calls me a “content and marketing genius.” I remember that we met by chance on a plane and immediately found mutual friends.
The conference wrote up the method
After my Dubai session, Affiliate World described me as a search expert and explained the Content Factory and Lighthouse approach from the talk.
An early campus description
The university newsletter described me, in Spanish, as an “expert in measurement and marketing through Facebook” while documenting my lecture.
What his class took away
Matthew called me a “true industry leader” and wrote that his students left our session energized and inspired.
Three days she kept writing about
Ai described three days with me and BlitzMetrics as “life- and business-changing” and wrote that I had “mastered his craft.”
A textbook, an interview, and a kind description
Karen called me a “highly knowledgeable” interviewee and included my work among the digital-marketing voices she teaches.
A two-day visit students documented
Eagle PR called me one of the most in-demand experts in using Facebook advertising to increase organizational impact.
The complete record
The full inventory — every mention we have collected and verified
People say kind things about Dennis in posts, recommendations, comments, and interviews. Most of it scrolls past and disappears. His team collects it instead: every mention gets read at the source, written down with a link, and scored.
This is the whole list, not a highlight reel. 192 mentions, strongest first. If someone praised Dennis and it is not here, it is because we have not found it yet or could not verify it — the hunt is still running, and this page grows with every sweep.
How we collect and score these
A mention only counts if it is real praise from a named person, with the words as they were actually written and a link to where they were said. Name drops and event listings do not count. Dennis's team sweeps Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, X, YouTube, podcasts, and call recordings on a running cycle, and each new find is checked at the source before it lands here.
Each mention gets an authority score out of 30, from four parts:
- Who said it (0–10). A founder people listen to counts for more than an account nobody knows.
- How specific it is (0–8). Naming a result beats "great guy."
- Where it lives (0–6). A recommendation sitting permanently on a LinkedIn profile beats a comment under a post.
- The relationship (0–6). A paying client beats a stranger; a mentee or teammate sits in between.
That is why a one-line thank-you from a client lands around 16, and a client who names the number — his agency hit six figures a month within six months of hiring Dennis — lands at 26. The scores are ours and the method is published with the list, so anyone can argue with them. The full method is written up in our positive mentions process doc.
Authority score 24–30 (1 mention)
Nicholas Collins — reputation specialist
LinkedIn · December 5, 2022
"Our agency hired Dennis and team in early 2014 to help us take our Agency to the next level. The amount of value, insight, and guidance we got from him was invaluable, it easily took our agency to the 6 figure /month range within a 6-month window. Without giving away too many trade secrets we found his 'Digital Plumbing' framework invaluable among other things. We highly recommend Dennis Yu and will continue to utilize and consult with him!"
Authority score: 26/30 — The inventory's single highest score, and it earns it: a client since 2014 with the hardest number in the set — his agency reached the six-figure-per-month range within six months of hiring Dennis — on the permanent LinkedIn profile surface.
