An experiment in Z-listing I&#8217;ve stumbled upon (yeah, via StumbleUpon.com) this experiment in cross-linking. Have to say that the idea of alternative to A-list listing - that is what Z-list is about is quite appealing to me. What also appeals to me much is &#8220;generosity&#8221; concept of the action. If you run a little research you could see what there is no such thing as &#8220;master list&#8221; of Z-list blogs - there is NO forcing at all behind the surgace, typical &#8220;letter of happiness&#8221; it is not. If you like the idea - and I just LOVE it - you follow the rules and make the list which reflects your idea of real value blogs, and then post the list. In this post I&#8217;m just following the steps of Z-list participating kindly (and thoroughly) explained at Dosh Dosh blog. How can you participate in the Z List Meme? The exact steps you need to follow in order to join the meme. Create a new post on your blog.

(This isn’t compulsory, so you can either add as many blogs as you want or none at all.) Include the blog where you first got the list from, on the list in your post. Do not include your own blog links on the list in your post. Make sure that all links point to each blog’s homepage. Publish the Post. Do note that you can join the Z List meme even if your blog isn’t listed below. Just copy and paste any or both of the lists below, add Alles Normales and any other blogs you want to share on the list and publish it as a post in your blog.

Top Affiliate Challenge is being billed as “the web’s first real-time ... The Job that Blogging Built The Boston Globe has an article this morning called Blogging for Dollars. It is interesting, if rehashed (we&#8217;ve all read articles from mainstream media sources that look at blogging as if it is &#8216;news&#8217; and how some people, wait for it&#8230; actually make money from blogging). The article, written by Carolyn Johnson, a staff writer for the Globe and probably handed to her by some editor who still has no clue about blogging outside of the buzzwordiness, cites folks like Darren and Shoemoney as examples of success stories for the blogging industry and claims that most people will never money from blogging. She is right, however the scope of the article is so very shortsighted. Let me switch gears for a brief moment and talk about open source software (trust me, it&#8217;s related!). I was flying home from Toronto the other day and sat next to one of the guys from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition who owns a company that creates software for the &#8220;smart home&#8221;. It&#8217;s natural he would be called on for EM: HE because a brand new home given to a family in a high profile &#8220;look what we&#8217;ve done&#8221; kind of show will have the best bling available for the home. A smart home that is a well-connected computer to itself, allowing occupants to turn the heat on remotely, get the fireplace roaring or even kick the washing machine on via the internet, is a compelling sort of thing for a show on ABC. While talking to this guy about open source software, he posed a question about why he should turn his software open source. A lot of people have asked for it but they make their profit on it. One of my key responses is in the aftermarket for such software. Whenever there is a community around a product, there will always be a demand for support and technical expertise. While the open source model may not be the best answer for him, history has shown that even with products like WordPress, the aftermarket on such free software is more than enough to employ a few dedicated people who want to earn out for their knowledge. And thus we return to the concept of blogging for dollars. The Globe story limits the concept of blogging to websites with words written by people. I personally can attest to an entire industry surrounding blogging. The Globe notes that advertising is one of those markets. Technology and infrastructure is another. Content editors is a third. Blogging is not simply the writing. That is what people see. Effective bloggers build themselves reputations as Subject Matter Experts. It&#8217;s about blogs replacing resumés. Support personnel become necessary to help the non-technical blogger with their blogs. Business deals are worked out surrounding sales of blogs, advertising,  and content sharing. Blogging for dollars is not simply the writing. It&#8217;s all the little things that no one really notices but that can land people lots of money. It&#8217;s indirect revenue. I sure wish the Globe would look wider and see the bigger picture. But that&#8217;s just me. AdToll launches PeelAwayAds It seems today is the day for me to write more about PeelAwayAds!

I&#8217;m both appalled and titillated that my little tiny avatar follows me around while I surf.

Shoemoney&#8217;s Jeremy Schoemaker had posted about flaws in MyBlogLog&#8217;s service, and when he demonstrated how someone could easily pose as another MyBlogLog user when visiting other websites, he was banned from MyBlogLog. Anyone who might want to could have used a tip Schoemaker published to pretend they were someone else.The Yahoo-owned blogging community service used unique and easily located user IDs that could be placed in a MyBlogLog cookie in a browser. A couple of days later, Jeremy was reinstated and MyBlogLog apologized for the ban. Fun reading. I&#8217;ve noticed that some bloggers who placed their widget on their site have removed it.

Shoe Money, u weet wel: een van degenen die zoveel geld verdient Lijstje der lijstjes of optimalisatie, aan de hand van tips, regels, methodes, overzichten one of 2000 bloggers Here's a cutout from a linked pictorial of 2000 bloggers. There I am, towards the left, circled. And there's my Danish friend Henriette Webber, where the red arrow points. These are 2000 random bloggers who signed up to appear with their pictures. It includes A-, B- and C-list bloggers. Of course, most of the other people I recognize are A-listers and they appear near the top of the list, meaning they were first to sign up. So do A-listers get wind of such memes first? Or is it because a couple of A-listers decided to sign up for this that this became a meme in the first place? How many B- and C-list bloggers passed by this page without signing up until some better know blogger did (and blogged it)? I would like to see the distribution of bloggers who joined this effort according to the their Technorati rank. And talking about rank, besides appearing next to a very smiley crowd, this project has dramatically improved the rank of participants. By the time Brian issued his mini-blog challenge, my rank was already shooting up. There's a separate question in here about what made A-listers sign up for this pictorial in the first place? If you want to see the rest of the pictorial with links to each blogger, click below; but it may take a long time to load.              2000 bloggers (I'm one of them!) and counting Ha let's have some fun. I really love this idea. Faces, faces, faces and links, links, links. I already wrote about it, but know I want to have some fun. Whoopy whopa. Include all of you: 2000 bloggers. Some slowness here now? Loading all these pictures? I know, I know. Well let's give these faces a little attention. And you know what? Ha Windows Live Writer could not handle such enormous mass of code ;-D 2000 Bloggers My Google Reader Feeds A couple months ago I noticed that I had subscribed to almost 200 feeds on bloglines. Although they were all good blogs I realized that I had been avoiding checking up on them simply because it seemed a bit daunting to login to bloglines and see that I had hundreds of unread items. As a result of my reluctance to check my bloglines account on a consistent basis I was missing a lot of good posts, so I decided that I would narrow down my choice of subscriptions to maybe only 20-30 blogs that I really felt were the most important. At the same time I decided I would also like to try out a new feed reader to see if they offered better features than bloglines. A few weeks ago I heard from Paul Allen that Google Reader tracked your reading habits and would generate reports of what you have been reading over time. I thought this was a cool feature that may help me prioritize which blogs I should stay subscribed to and which blogs I should drop in case my list got too big again. So I left bloglines and have been using Google Reader ever since. I decided I wanted to start off from scratch and only initially subscribe to the blogs that I could think of off the top of my head. Over the last few weeks I added a few more, but have still managed to keep the list down to a size where I could reasonably read every post if I wanted to (usually I just a select a few that seem the most interesting) even if I have been gone for a few days. I wanted to share my list of the blogs I have decided to subscribe to. Don&#8217;t feel bad if your blog is not on the list, it may have been on my old bloglines list, and may show up in the future on my new Google reader list (Google reader seems to help me organize my feeds a lot better than bloglines so I may be subscribing to a lot more feeds in the future). Here is the current list: Chad Blodgett | feed Chris Knudsen | feed Connor&#8217;s Conundrums | feed Don Loper | feed John Jonas Blog | feed Paul Allen: Internet Entrepreneur | feed Russell Page | feed Search Trends - Search Engine Marketing | feed The Carolynn Blog | feed Macalua.com | feed Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO | feed Pronet Advertising | feed feed SEO Book.com SEOmoz Daily SEO Blog | feed How to Change the World | feed Copyblogger | feed MarketingVOX - The Voice of Online Marketing | feed Seth&#8217;s Blog | feed Shoemoney - Skills to pay the bills | feed Andy Beal&#8217;s Marketing Pilgrim | feed John Chow dot Com | feed ProBlogger Blog Tips | feed In a few weeks once I have collected more data on my reading habits I will posting a ranked list of the blogs I read the most. Compete Toolbar Bug With Google Reader - Compete vs Alexa Stats I have had long term problems with the Compete Toolbar as I pointed out some time ago on my friend Paul&#039;s blog, I think I actually made that comment on my first visit to his blog. The only time I actually test the Compete Toolbar is when I get an upgrade for it. Firefox detects a new upgrade, downloads it, and switches the toolbar on automatically from its default state on my computer - off. The reason I keep it switched off is because with the Compete Toolbar switched on, Google Reader doesn&#039;t work. It has been a good 3 months since Paul noted a problem. I just downloaded a new version, and again it doesn&#039;t work with Google Reader on my system. Compete Statistics I have been disappointed with Compete Statistics for some time, especially within various niches that are technology related. I decided to do a little roundup of blogs in the SEO SEM & Make Money Niche - no disrespect to anyone I missed out, page load time is going to suck anyway with all these images. Some sites I checked out and they fell into line with others which have similar Alexa traffic, so I just kept one example. Problogger.net Current Alexa Rating:- 2309 Shoemoney.com Current Alexa Rating:- 1281 Graywolf Current Alexa Rating:- 4993 Pronet Advertising Current Alexa Rating:- 10015 Search Engine Journal Current Alexa Rating:- 4264 John Battelle&#039;s Search Blog Current Alexa Rating:- 7684 Search Engine Watch Current Alexa Rating:- 957 TopRank Blog Current Alexa Rating:- 7610 Andy Beard Current Alexa Rating:- 32K going on 20k Statistics Analysis The Alexa stats just don&#039;t tie up with the Compete stats, even in a similar niche. Why do SEJ and SEW do so much better than Problogger and Shoemoney on Compete scores when both have very high (and legitimate) Alexa scores? John Battelle stats are fascinating - he has a huge number of subscribers based on his recent stats from a few days ago after Google Reader was included but his Alexa score and number of comments doesn&#039;t match. John seems to have a different kind of reader. Do corporate intranets and default feeds on start pages (before you sign up) get somehow added to subscriber data? I have always looked on the number of comments as being a good indication for blogs as to whether Alexa data is consistant, and generally within this niche it is, with the exception of John Battelles stats. I can think of reasons for that, as he is a "trusted" news source. It should also be noted that Compete is a relatively new service, younger than all of the sites listed. I didn&#039;t include SearchEngineLand specifically because it is a new site and thus might not have been a fair comparison. As for my own data&#8230; wow, I am in the top 1 million now for Compete. I feel much more inclined to use Alexa data as an indicator over Compete, not only because I can actually use it without breaking Google Reader, but also because the statistics for Alexa at least seem to have some level of consistency. Time to close Firefox to switch Compete off again until the next update.

Normally when I get up in the morning, I have to check all the spam Akismet caught to see if there were any false positives. However, thanks to the implementation of yesterday&#8217;s spam countermeasures, there was just one new spam to delete! Shortly after making last night&#8217;s post, I added two more countermeasures to really can the spam. Kill Tor Anonymous Proxies Many spammers send out their spam through tor proxies to hide their tracks. By denying access from these proxies, you prevent spammers from being able to comment spam your blog. It also means normal people using a tor proxy are blocked out as well, so you&#8217;ll have to weigh the pro and con of doing this. Proxy.org maintains a blacklist of known tor proxies used by spammers. Copy the list to your .htaccess file and you&#8217;ll deny a ton of comment spammers from accessing your site. Credit goes to Shoemoney for this tip. Shut Down Comments To Old Posts The first comment spam I ever got was done to an old post that had gone to page two. Comment spammers like to target older posts because the search engines have indexed them and you may not see it since the posts are no longer on the front page. The way to prevent this is to shut down comments after a set number of days. You can do this manually but the easier method would be to use a Plugin. Comment Timeout is a Plugin that will automatically disables comments on older blog entries after a certain period. It also gives you an option to keep comments open for longer periods when there is an ongoing discussion. The Plugin is extremely easy to install and use. Right now, I have the Plugin set to disable comments on all posts older than 20 days but you can set whatever value you feel is appropriate. The combination of all these new spam countermeasures has reduced the number of comment spam I get each day to single digits. I can now concentrate on producing content instead of checking through the hundreds of comment spam that I normally get. MyBlogLog Open To Attacks This morning, while I was checking my MyBlogLog community, I noticed that another site has mysteriously appeared on the list of sites and blog I author. I don&#8217;t know what site that is or how it got there but it seems someone has figured out a way to get their blog listed in the Sites and Blogs I Author section of MyBlogLog members. Checking out the mystery blog shows the spammer managed to get himself listed onto other MyBlogLog accounts, including Shoemoney. It&#8217;s clear the spammer is targeting popular MyblogLog communities to get his site in front of as many people as possible. So far, it looks like I&#8217;m the only one who has removed the offending blog. No doubt the spammer planned his attack on the weekend thinking the blog owners will be away till Monday. MyblogLog seems to be growing faster than the Yahoo can handle. Spam is becoming a major problem and there are countless exploits that a spammer can use to gain access to the community. Yahoo needs to shut this crap down before MyBlogLog becomes another MySpace. Web Revenue Blog Rankings According to Pat McCarthy over at Conversion Rater, I am number 3 on the web revenue blog rankings. While I like to think the means I&#8217;m the third biggest revenue generating blog on the Internet, that is not the case. What is a web revenue blog? Blogs that focus on affiliate marketing, display advertising, contextual advertising, and actually helping people generate revenue in these ways by running their own site. This blog is a good example, as well as others in the list. I’ve intentionally left out company blogs in this area like the YPN Blog, Inside Adsense, and others. I’ve also left out blogs that really just only cover news, or blogs that are really heavy on search engine news and optimization tips. The blogs in these rankings spend a lot of their time talking about making money from a website or blog. The ranking calculations are based on information from Technorati, Alexa, Complete, Quantcast, Google PageRank, and Yahoo links. Darren Rowse of ProBlogger is the number 1 with the best rankings in 4 of the 6 categories. He was followed by Shoemoney in second place and me in third. The list is far from complete and Pat understands that. The list was compiled based on the blogs Pat visits or knew were popular. If want to be included in the list or know of a blog that should be included, let Conversion Rater know. You can do so in their comments. John Chow vs. Matt Coddington Daily Blog Tips has posted another Blogger Face-Off. This time, it&#8217;s Matt Coddington of Net Business Blog vs. The Root Of All Evil (me)! Unlike the first Blogger Face-Off that pitted Darren Rowse against Shoemoney, this Blogger Face-Off against me and Matt has a voting system so you can decide who the winner is. While the initial purpose of the Bloggers Face-Off was only to provide an interesting reading for everyone I recognize that a voting system could make things more funny. Secondly it will also make it possible to create second rounds where we match the winners of past challenges against each other! Since there was no voting session on the first edition both Darren and Jeremy will receive a free pass to the second round. Amazingly enough, I am actually losing right now. But I think that&#8217;s because Matt posted it on his blog the instant he found out about it. I just found out now. Anyway, head on over there and vote for me please. Vote more than once if you have to (we are evil after all). New Ad Network - AuctionAds Today is the grand opening of Auction Ads (aff). AuctionAds displays live eBay auctions to visitors based on the website owner’s keyword preference and pays out on a CPA (cost per action) basis. The new network is the work of ShoeMoney and MediaWhiz (the owners of Text Link Ads (aff) and ReviewMe(aff)). Leveraging eBay&#8217;s Affiliate Model In a nutshell, AuctionAds is one big eBay affiliate. eBay does their affiliate payout based on volume - the higher the volume, the higher the revenue share. The exact payouts are shown below. Now, the chance of a single small publisher signing up 3,000+ new eBay accounts or doing over $1 million a month is revenue is slim to none and slim left town. Therefore, most eBay affiliates receive the minimum affiliate payout ($12 per sign up and 40% to 50% of revenue). What AuctionAds does is put all their publishers into one big &#8220;collective&#8221; to go after the higher revenue share. By ourselves, it&#8217;ll be hard to get the top tier payouts because we can&#8217;t generate that kind of volume ($1 million a month? Are you kidding me?), However, as part of a collective of AuctionAds publishers, it could be doable. Publishers can leverage AuctionAds&#8217; creative delivery of eBay’s auctions and AuctionAds&#8217; ability to achieve the higher performance incentive tiers with the aggregate volume of traffic to make more money than they could with their own eBay affiliate relationship. How Does AuctionAds Make Money AuctionAds will not make any money off their affiliates at the start of this program. Right now, affiliates will get 100% of any money they make from the system. As the collective moves up the eBay revenue share tiers, AuctionAds will start to take a cut of revenues. The goal is for you to make more with AuctionAds than directly with eBay&#8217;s affiliate program, which will be the case as the network increases its volume. In order to build their network as fast as possible, AuctionAds has no minimum entrance requirements - anyone is welcome to join. The bigger the network gets, the more volume it can generate, and the faster it moves up the eBay payout tiers. If the network doesn&#8217;t grow, then AuctionAds will never make any money since they&#8217;ll be paying out 100% all the time. The AuctionAds Ads The AuctionAds backend features an intuitive, easy to use system for showing targeted eBay auction listings on a publisher’s websites. The system features 11 different size banners with adjustable background, border, heading, description and link colors. You can also add custom campaign to track different parts of your site. To create a banner, just enter some keywords that best match the target of your readership, adjust the colors and hit the Create button. A preview of the banner will be shown. The ads are triggered by the keywords that you enter. Because it is not contextual, AuctionAds can be used alongside Google AdSense. You just have to makes sure the two ads don&#8217;t look the same or you may run afoul of Google&#8217;s new &#8220;look and feel&#8221; rule. Publishers also have the advantage of a referral system built into the ads. There is no need to sign up separately for the AuctionAds affiliate program because their affiliate program is built right into the ads you display. If a user clicks on the &#8220;Ads by AuctionAds&#8221; that is displayed with each ad and signs up for the service, you earn a bonus 2% of all revenue generated by that user for 6 months. Not a huge amount, but every little bit helps. Who Should Use AuctionAds Because the ads are mostly product related, AuctionAds will work best on shopping or product review sites like The TechZone. However, the service maybe used for non-product sites and blogs. eBay sells enough stuff that you should be able to find something that will match your site. Because AuctionAds is CPA based, it will require more tweaking than CPC or CPM advertising. A publisher should stick with it for at least a month or two to give it a fair chance. I will be running AuctionAds as a Google default. I want to run them as a main banner but simply don&#8217;t have the free ad space right now. I am going to be running them on The TechZone as well.

Here&#8217;s a screenshot of what i found- While I was trying to read what was posted there by the Turkish Hacker, it redirected to some other malicious site and tried to install something on my PC. I quickly closed Firefox but since then my PC has been slow. Maybe it&#8217;s infected now with some Trojan The hacker was just lucky that I did not even have an AntiVirus installed at that time. My friends who used Opera to visit the hacked site was not redirected to any site. And I though Firefox was a safe browser!

I’ve met Todd Malicoat, Graywolf and Shoemoney (awesome down to earth dudes) and have seen the other rockstars in attendance like Oilman, Martinibuster, Barry Laughing and Bleeding My US trip is winding down. I&#8217;ve been here for exactly 2 weeks and have traveled to both coasts, including Las Vegas for PubCon 2006. I still have a few days to spend with family (and Mickey Mouse) in California, then it&#8217;s back to the Philippines on Tuesday. Overall it&#8217;s been a great learning experience for me. The trip has some low points too, but that&#8217;s to be expected. Here are some key takeaways from this trip: Meeting &#8216;grounded&#8217; people is a joy - Matt, Aaron, Jeremy and Todd were extremely down to earth fellas. You get the feeling that they too are genuinely interested in meeting other people and hearing their stories. This is why their stars shine brighter. B-listers with A-talent abound - oftentimes the real action happens outside the session halls. There you meet guys with fresh ideas and excellent anecdotal SEO stories that can only help your own optimization efforts. Don&#8217;t supersize it - regular meal servings are huge. If I wanted to make sure I could finish a meal, I had to order the kiddie meal version. No wonder you have a lot of obese people here. Filipinos are psychic - Why is it that when I see people around I can tell right away that they&#8217;re Filipino and vice versa? Do I emit an &#8220;I&#8217;m Filipino&#8221; signal? It did help me a few times at the airport and at the hotels I stayed at so I&#8217;m not complaining :) If you have money, things are cheap - trips to the local Costco, CircuitCity and BestBuy are really an exercise in &#8220;puta bakit ang mura dito!?&#8221; An AdSense UPS club member would be able to buy a lot of things&#8230;but that thought disappears as soon as you realize you really can&#8217;t bring all these items home because some enterprising customs clerks might eat you alive when you arrive. Technology addicts - it was the first time I saw GPS navigational tools at work and they were impressive! But people rely on them too much to get around and still get lost. Nothing beats smart Manila-style driving sense. You&#8217;re different - I was able to watch Borat in New Jersey and saw the Kramer scandal unfold on TV. I think these politically incorrect examples relate well with my own encounters of being treated as a &#8217;second class citizen&#8217; for the simple reason that I&#8217;m different. It&#8217;s one thing to hear or read about these things, but to experience discrimination first hand&#8230;it just blows. So are the Starbucks cashier in Princeton, NJ and the Google booth bitch in Las Vegas just ignorant or do they really hate the likes of me? I miss the office, my family and the Sharmskee already. I&#8217;ve still got a lot of pasalubong shopping to do. If you think you deserve a gift, leave a comment :) I picked up a few conference schwag to give away to lucky SEO Philippines members.

If you don’t Adsense Scam Expose: The Lengths People Go Through to Deceive Email scams are not at all new. They come in all forms and from all corners of the globe. They may or may not be tagged immediately as SPAM but nonetheless, their main purpose remains the same: to deceptively claim money from unsuspecting online users. Lately, an Adsense email scam has been circulating the Internet containing the following details:- The email starts with a threat disguised as a warning: it asks the recipient of the email to pay a certain amount of money in exchange of keeping his Adsense income safe from further harm. - The sender is backing up his threat with details about "robots" that are able to hack into other people&#39;s Adsense accounts.- The sender then adopts a conciliatory tone by explaining his urgent need for money. In most cases, the sender refers to himself as an inventor who has invented something special but requires funds to be able to create a model he can present to investors. - The sender even provides a website address where all other details about his supposed invention can be found.- The sender ends with a promise and another threat. If the recipient pays amount of money requested, the sender promises to return it as soon as his project is completed. If the recipient refuses to pay then the sender will proceed with his threat and close the recipient&#39;s Adsense account. Even Jeremy Schoemaker, a popular Internet entrepreneur, had also received a similar email. Such email scams may seem obviously fake to many, but it can still successfully fool people who are easily threatened. People who receive the same email should report the incident to Google Adsense immediately. Pubcon Day .05 I have finally settled in. I bumped into Jeremy Schoemaker when getting off the plane - I had not met him Elite Retreat - Take Your Online Business to the Next Level I mentioned this in passing last week after my interview with Shoemoney - but today we&#8217;re officially announcing the next Elite Retreat San Francisco which will run between 19-20 March. I&#8217;ll be one of the leaders/speakers on this 30 seat conference and I&#8217;m really excited about it. Other Speakers are Jeremy Schoemaker (aka Shoemoney and Mr six figure earning in a month), Lee Dodd (aka $222,718 man and forums/social networking expert), Aaron Wall (aka SEO Book author), Neil Patel (marketing consultant) and Kris Jones (aka online media expert). The last time Jeremy and Lee put on Elite Retreat I was quite jealous of those attending and wished I had the time to get along as an attendee. The idea of spending two days with 5 or 6 experienced and successful webmasters was something I thought was worth the expense (and no - it&#8217;s not cheap). So when Lee asked me if I&#8217;d consider being involved in the next Elite Retreat I jumped at the opportunity. The fact that I&#8217;d be in the US with my family at that time anyway was a bonus and made it possible. Before I said yes I asked a few of last year&#8217;s attendees what they thought about the event and they gave me some very positive feedback. Some said they are coming back with friends. What I love about the concept is that it&#8217;s not just one person talking at the front of the room but that many of the sessions are interactive and based upon the needs and experiences of attendees. There&#8217;s also plenty of one on one interaction with leaders. So what do you get for your money? a 1:5 ratio with speakers (very intimate) 2 days of teaching, conversations and working through YOUR online business ideas an Apple iPod Nano (with lots of content pre-loaded) no sales pitches from any speakers allowed one on one coaching calls with each leader after the retreat access to a private forum for ongoing networking and collaboration Apply to come along here - it&#8217;s a hand selection process (ie not first in best dressed) so put a little time into your answers as our aim is to put together a great team of attendees, not just leaders.

What I learned at Shoemoney University As many of you already know I am currently a senior in college and have around 9 classes left. Some people think I must graduate even if it takes me a couple more years to finish and others say I should drop out. And then there's Jeremy Schoemaker who told me to drop out of my current college and attend University of Nebraska, Shoemoney (UNSM); so I decided to take Jeremy up on his offer and attend his university for a few days. Here are some of the things that I have learned from Jeremy: How to easily make 1,000 dollars a day (if not a lot more) from PPC arbitrage. The only upfront cost involves building/buying a scraper, potentially putting up a website or two and spending a few bucks on PPC with Google, Yahoo and MSN. There are 3 categories for marketing: white, grey, and black. When you do marketing you never want to go into the black range because it could lead to jail time, but according to Shoemoney, there is nothing wrong with doing some grey stuff if it does not hurt anyone and has the potential to create a lot of buzz. Companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have certain rules that protect them, but these things can actually be used against them to help you make money. And just like any university, the experience is what truly makes it a great college: Business trips - Jeremy picked me up in his hummer from the airport and showed me all the fun things you can do in the snow with a H2 such as jumping over curbs, sliding on ice, and ramming into the snow. Business meetings - One day we had a business lunch at Hooters where we learned that Hooters waitresses live off of tips. Eating at Hooters is a great way to make sure that the meeting does not get dull. Opportunity cost - Some things are not worth doing yourself such as washing dishes or cleaning the house. If you can make a couple hundred an hour why not work those extra hours and pay people to do all the work you don't want to do. There is no such thing as a free lunch - Everything I did in Nebraska was paid for by Jeremy and J (his wife). I tried to pay for meals and stuff, but Jeremy said that if I tried to pull that stuff off he would get very upset with me. So after trying to pay a couple times he told me that I should not worry about it because when he comes to Los Angeles I am going to be spending a lot more money wining and dinning him. Overall, I learned a lot from my experience at UNSM and feel that it was a better learning experience for me compared to any of my current college classes. I will still probably end up getting a bachelors degree, but hopefully one day there will be a college like UNSM that will be available to everyone who wants to learn how to make money online. At least for now you can get some of this great knowledge from Jeremy Schoemaker by attending Elite Retreat. Elite Retreat San Francisco A few weeks ago I blogged about my trip to Shoe Money University where I learned how to make money through PPC arbitrage. It seems that a lot of you are interested in making money from arbitrage and trying to get into the whole online marketing space. Well, if you are one of those individuals here is your chance. Elite Retreat is having a conference from March 19 - 20 in San Francisco, California where 30 lucky people will get to learn about affiliate marketing, SEO, social networking, blogging, social media and all other forms of online marketing. The best part about it is there are no sales pitches or boring power point slides, instead you will be learning first hand from Shoemoney, Lee Dodd, Aaron Wall, Darren Rowse, Kris Jones and myself. If you want to be one of those 30 people click here to sign up for the Elite Retreat. Monetizing Your Blog with Auction Ads Auction Ads is a new service that has been launched by MediaWhiz and Shoemoney Media. With Auction Ads you can place eBay listings on your website and get paid for driving traffic. It is pretty easy to use and you can see an example of an ad below. Would love to hear what you think about Auction Ads. **Disclaimer: I am an evangelist for Text Link Ads which is owned by MediaWhiz. The Estimated Value of Affiliate Marketing Industry Websites Loren Baker pointed me with his post at SEJ about domain names and website appraisals to an online tool called dnScoop.com. dnScoop.com looks at the age of the domain, its PageRank, Alexa rating, number of inbound links and number of indexed pages in the big 3 search engines Google, Yahoo, MSN and two smaller search engines, Altavista and AllTheWeb and calculates an estimated value for the domain and its current website content. It also throws in as a little bonus the estimated value of a text link on a single page with max. 8 paid text link. This estimate is provided by Text-Link-Ads.com, a link broker. I ran the tool for a bunch of sites and the results made me create a little list with a number of affiliate marketing resources, news and community sites, affiliate marketing blogs and of course affiliate marketing networks and the value for each based on dnScoop&#39;s evaluation. I broke the sites into 3 groups and sorted within each the domains by estimated value,"Affiliate Marketing News Portals or Resources Sites","Blogs and Sites of Individuals in Affiliate Marketing" and "Affiliate Networks" I only show the rank, domain name and value. For everybody who want to take a closer look or crunch some numbers himself are the detailed results with all numbers to every site available for download in Excel 2007 Format and PDF Format. Don&#39;t take this data too serious. It does not say anything about the business or person behind the website. Think about it as if all physical world property was sold over night and everybody who was doing anything related to the site was taking off to an island in the Caribbean without a computer or cell phone to spend the rest of their lives fishing and drinking long drinks in weird looking glasses decorated with funny hats. Okay, better. All that is left is the domain, the pages on that domain and that&#39;s it. It is do be sold and the profits from the sale would be donated to a non-profit affiliate marketing organization. Kidding. Charity, okay. However, similar methods are used today by domain name appraisal services. I would suspect that those services use also other 3rd party providers such as compScore or Hitwise traffic to get some other important and a bit more reliable data. It is never easy, if you don&#39;t have access to the real data such as websites logfiles and that sort of things.

Some sites might want to check the crawl-ability of their site and also other search engine optimization related issues. Some sites are missing a lot of content (pages) in some of the search engines. Others might want to work on their sites "link-ability" and also get the word out a little more. A positive example is Scott&#39;s BUMPZee project that is brand new but already gained a lot of inbound links, content and traffic. It is already ranking #11 out of #18 sites checked. It does not even got a page rank from Google assigned yet.

Really? Mhh. a personal note to Wayne. I know him and he will not rip my head off the next time we meet for this one (I hope) hehe. Just kidding. Wayne: PR1 for a 7 year old domain. How did you do that? Couldn&#39;t Google make up their mind if they should ban your site altogether or not? Maybe, Yahoo! shows over 7,000 inbound links from other sites. Must be links from either questionable sites that are owned by somebody you hunted down in the past or destroyed their "creative" work ... something along: "this guy was killing my nice little worm...schnief" hehe, or from people that link to you via a links using the "nofollow" attribute, because they are still not sure if they were drunk or you when they talked to you the last time ;) No hard feelings Wayne, but those data just don&#39;t make sense at all and I felt that I have to say something ;). Look at the Upstart Bloggers Sam Harrelson and Andy Beard. Good Job guys. Wade and Durk, look at these guys and do something. There are some reputations on the line here. Show the newbie&#39;s some veteran power, you are not too old for blogging yet. ;) Okay, enough of motivational pep-talk and time to take a look at the affiliate networks, where the results are really wacko.

ClickBank.net: what is MSN seeing what nobody else sees? Brian: Altavista, AllTheWeb and Yahoo! are the old search engines, okay. What did you use ShareASale.com for before it became one of the leading U.S. affiliate networks, or does Slurp encounter some issues and got lost on the site (wouldn&#39;t be the first one)? Kolimbo: Guys, stop talking about MyApp and do something about the Network or I will buy it (for the estimated value ;) ). Performics: When did you start offering search marketing again? Oh, only PPC? I thought organic search too. My bad. Okay, no hard feelings. I was just joking. It&#39;s a tool that provides a number somehow and not made transparent or public, based on unreliable other numbers that are not made transparent or public. If you feel bad about the returned number and are unable to take it as what it is, contact Badi Jones who created the tool and asked politely if he could hard code a more favorable number into the tool for your domain and send him a nice gift afterwards for doing you this favor. For everybody who loves the number and wants to show it off to strangers that visit your site, get the widget that shows the value of your domain for everybody to see. Also available at dnScoop.com :). Cheers! Carsten Affiliate Marketing Success Stories and Heroes It is good to report about success stories in affiliate marketing. It shows not only the possibilities and potential, but also encourages newbie&#39;s to the industry to work hard and become successful as well. I am personally not a fan of Idols, but I recognize the power and usefulness of poster child&#39;s and heroes. Some people need a figure like that to get themselves motivated others need them too, but only to nitpicking about the flaws and mistakes the idols have (like everyone else) to draw attention and feel great about themselves. Idols must have other properties in addition to success. They must be media friendly and visible. Grumpy, Nerds that hide at home and lag some of the basic social skills can be as successful as they want to, but not become an Icon or Idol until hell freezes over. Jeremy Palmer, super affiliate and author of the best selling eBook "Quit Your Day Job", fits the profile of a poster child. So does Jeremy Shoemaker aka Shoemoney, host of the popular radio show and podcast "Net Income" at WebmasterRadio.FM. I would also like to add Vinny Lingham to that list. Vinny is a fellow ReveNews blogger and also writes his own blog at VinnyLingham.com. Vinny is also a Super Affiliate and CJ performer, living in South Africa. That&#39;s right, not the US or Europe, Africa. He is co-founder of the successful internet businesses IncuBeta, Clicks2Customers, Synthasite (beta) and supports other projects like Sekamo, a local south African search engine. Why am I adding him to that list? I just blogged in November about InCubeta winning the prestigious South African Technology Top 100 Award and the background setting which makes the accomplishment even more remarkable. Just 2 months earlier did the InCubeta company Clicks2Customers win the Commission Junction Horizon Award 2006 at the annual Commission Junction University (CJU) Event held in sunny Santa Clara, California, where the corporate headquarter of CJ is located. It is 2 months after the last great news about Vinny, his partners and their team, which means it is time again. IncuBeta caught the eyes of the venture capital company HBD, which was founded by Mark Shuttleworth’s with the goal to find young companies in South Africa and elsewhere that show potential for global success and helps them to realize it. Obviously does IncuBeta fit that description and got $3.7 million US dollars in capital to help their business to grow. Plans for the use of the money exist, but are not made public yet. I guess we have to wait a bit, lets make a guess, 2 months before the project will be made public. Congratulations again and keep it up! What does IncuBeta do? Let&#39;s see the what their "about us" page states. Paid search (Pay Per Click) Media buying (traffic) Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and web development Affiliate Marketing Affiliate Management (not anymore as far as I know. Vinny, update the site! :) ) Site conversion rate analysis Let me make a guess about the project where the $3.7 million are for. I think it has to do with item 4 of the list, Affiliate Marketing and specifically with the SynthaSite project. If you want to see what SynthaSite is and how it works, check out this Video. Who else wants to bet? An Interesting Interview with Jeremy Schoemaker (G-Man) from SEOmoz recently interviewed Jeremy Schoemaker. You can check it out here. It was an interesting and worthwhile read. The comments about the interview Can Google Wipeout Arbitrage Sites? Bitten by the Google Spider : Google is working on cracking down on arbitrage sites which are using Google AdWords to send traffic to there affiliate sites. I really have to agree with Shoemoney on this, because it is going to be impossible to stop arbitrage. The only way Google will be able to stop it is getting rid of AdWords all together, because they are going to have a hard time deleting the sites out of the index. Spread the word: My Take on the Top Ten SEO Leaders Posted by randfishDidier Bizimungu had a post on his SEO News Blog that circulated around the industry. The subject was the top 10 SEO leaders, and since Didier asked for my opinion, I thought I'd share it publicly. Here's Didier's list: Daron Babin Matt Cutts Rand Fishkin Jim Boykin Aaron Wall Danny Sullivan Barry Schwartz Bill Slawski Todd Malicoat Andy Beal These are certainly influential and important folks (except for number 3 - that guy's small time), but by no means do I feel this list is accurate in any sense. I think that in order to come up with a list of influencers, it's first critical to think about the criteria you'd judge. These are mine: Ability to Reach a Large AudienceWhether through blogs, feeds, a forum, traditional media, or podcasts, an influencer needs to have a sizable reach. Ability to Influence Decision MakersA person with the ability to speak directly to people at the search engines, from the advertising side to the search engineers to the executives, as well as important folks in media, advertising, and related businesses (think Amazon, IAC or IBM). CredibilityThere are plenty of folks with large audiences who have a credibility gap - if you don't have the belief and trust of your listeners, you may be entertaining or even valuable, but your influence wanes. Credibility in our industry is about more than just telling the truth - it also includes a component of importance; thus, while you might consider SEOmoz "credible" in the usual sense of the word, for these purposes, I'd give a low credibility score. Unless some other folks write about the same subject and spread our ideas, we're fairly insulated.  Based on these criteria, here's who I'd rank in the top ten in the search marketing industry and my relative score levels (out of 10; higher is better) for each. Note that I've opted only to include those folks who regularly participate in industry gatherings (SES, Pubcon, etc.), thus excluding obvious list-toppers like Eric Schmidt or Jerry Yang: Danny SullivanAudience Size: 8/10 (used to be even higher at SEW, and probably will again soon - this also includes the entire SES conference audience and surrounding media)Decision Makers: 10/10Credibility: 10/10 Michael ArringtonAudience Size: 10/10Decision Makers: 9/10Credibility: 7/10 (while Techcrunch matters, it doesn't have the same level of impact that Danny does with the search industry specifically) Matt CuttsAudience Size: 7/10Decision Makers: 9/10Credibility: 8/10 John BattelleAudience Size: 7/10Decision Makers: 8/10Credibility: 8/10 Brett TabkeAudience Size: 8/10Decision Makers: 7/10Credibility: 8/10 (the only reason I'd put him behind John is because he contributes so infrequently to the search world's dialogue) Tim MayerAudience Size: 4/10Decision Makers: 8/10Credibility: 7/10 Barry SchwartzAudience Size: 7/10Decision Makers: 7/10Credibility: 7/10 Shawn HoganAudience Size: 8/10 (all of Digitalpoint is included here)Decision Makers: 4/10Credibility: 5/10 Philipp LenssenAudience Size: 6/10Decision Makers: 6/10Credibility: 6/10 Jeremy SchoemakerAudience Size: 7/10Decision Makers: 6/10Credibility: 5/10(I struggled putting Shoemoney here, as there may well be some quieter, behind-the-scenes folks who have extraordinary influence in the search world. I also suspect that someone like Greg Boser, Mike Grehan, or Andrew Goodman might belong here, despite their smaller audiences, simply because of their ability to connect with decision makers) While my list has preserved a few of Didier's choices, it's largely unique. While owners of SEO/M firms like myself, Jim Boykin, and Aaron Wall may have significant audiences, it's my general belief that the folks above all have a greater power to influence. My scores would probably look something like: Rand FishkinAudience Size: 6/10Decision Makers: 6/10Credibility: 5/10 Now, Didier's criteria could easily have been based on other crtieria like exposure or name recognition, in which case I'd still dispute a few of his choices. He noted in his post that it was predicated on "influence and the amount of time they&rsquo;ve sacrificed in the industry." By that criteria, I think my list holds up fairly well, though folks like Arrington and Battelle are slight outsiders to the specific field of search marketing. Your opinions?View Comments Social Media Traffic Isn't Useless Posted by randfishLast week, Kim Krause's Cre8pc blog got Dugg. She wrote about her experience, which she described as largely negative: In addition to the negative comments and free for all party over at Digg, I had to close the comments to my own blog post. I&rsquo;ve never been forced to close comments here before. If you own a blog, you know what this is like. The worst in human behavior comes and sits on your front porch, begging for your attention. I had joined Digg last year, buying into the hype that this is something we must do in a Web 2.0 world. The belief is that the traffic that comes is great for your marketing efforts. I&rsquo;ve already written about my dislike for Digg and how some Diggers gang up to get sites banned in industries they don&rsquo;t like. I seem to be unable to unjoin it. As a general advocate of all things social media, linkbait and Digg (at least from a marketing perspective), I'm inclined to stand up for the value driven by these tools. I'm also a huge fan of Kim herself, and of Matt Bailey, who also wrote about the issue on his post - Social Media Under the Microscope: For a search engine marketer, social media traffic can be a proof that they know how to build quick attention for a site. However, beyond that shot of traffic, what is there to show? For those in the SEO business, there is not much else, traffic sells. For businesses that make their living on and off the web, traffic like this is not helpful. It is not direct, and the numbers show that there is even less engagement and branding impact than any other source of traffic. So besides a quick influx of visitors who don&rsquo;t stick around or even read the full page, what is the benefit? That's what I'm here for, Matt, to show you the benefits. In my opinion, there's no debate - this social media stuff has incredible power. Let me show you what I mean. Last fall, we asked Ruud Hein to do some research for us about the effect being on top of Digg, Del.icio.us/Popular, Reddit or Netscape might be. We scraped the number of results for a Yahoo! linkdomain command (which pulls from Site Explorer) at the onset of a page making the social media sites and then re-scraped 3 days, 7 days and 14 days later. We did this for two solid weeks (gettting thousands of data points). Here's a few rounded averages (with some outliers and bad data points removed): Average number of links to a page 14 days after being on: Digg.com ~2,500 Del.icio.us/popular ~800 Reddit.com ~500 Netscape.com ~400 My hope is to eventually release all of this data in a large article on linkbait, but we've been overwhelmingly swamped with other things and I've let it slide a bit. If you're looking for a few more narrative data points on traffic numbers from being Dugg, look no further than this post on the linkbait bump effect at SEOmoz or, more recently, Danny's discussion on Search Engine Land's statistics, which show a parallel effect from linkbait. Linkbait can build a brand - it built YouTube through the Lazy Sunday video and Zillow.com through their real estate home pricing system. Linkbait can help brands become more popular, like SEOmoz, SearchEngineLand, Shoemoney, Drivl, ArsTechnica, ReadWriteWeb and many others. Linkbait can help sites and pages rank well at the search engines, by serving as a catalyst for inbound link popularity. Linkbait can even push you in front of the offline media, as has been the case for many folks in the tech world, specifically and folks like the red paperclip guy or the million dollar homepage guy. Linkbait has limitations, though - it's no good for: CTR-based ads Conversions Supportive, emotionally sensitive comments Positive re-inforcement (in most cases) Instant subscribers It's great for: Inbound links (if you have an effective piece) Search engine rankings (if you can achieve the aforementioned links) Publicity (people will start to know who you are and remember your brand after seeing your site several times through social media) Branding (growing awareness and a reputation) Getting the Attention of Influencers So to Kim - I'm sorry for your negative experience. It happens and will happen many more times. The most active population on Digg is a negative, condescending and disruptive group. The traffic is greedy, seeking immediate gratification and something that will connect with them. When you get Dugg, plan on being judged in the harshest, most negative light and then remember that the real value comes later.View Comments Matt Cutts Hacker ShoutOuts Revealed Here is the official decoded list: Shoutz to Dan &#8220;the man&#8221; = Danny Sullivan the 302 hijack t33m = dark seo team NYC SEO gang = those NYC seos who are doing the SEO class pentazilla = quadzilla daxster = dax boogybonmot = boogybonbon at http://www.boogybonbon.com/ Earl+Duke = Earl Grey and Jason Duke davenator = David Naylor monkeyboy = Greg Boser the canadian crew::J&T = Jensense and Todd/Oilman spamhuntress = spam huntress LB = Loren Baker jb = John Battelle NW = Nathan Weinberg of Inside Google L/S = Larry and Sergey Z-man = Zawodny scbl = scobleizer RandomFish = Rand Fishkin huZZah = The Lisa (Lisa Barone) from the Bruce Clay blog chivesmack = dillsmack Shchoeoe+npMMo ShoeMoney + Nebraska People Making Money Online lejackalgris = graywolf theGUY to GoTo = Joe Holcomb at http://www.agotoguy.com/ phenssen = philipp lenssen Romanian Brothers = Ionut and Alex Chitu, but Cristian Mezei is an acceptable alternative 2000 Faces of the Blogosphere What happens when you place the faces of 2000 bloggers in a one huge collage?

SEO Class Launches New York SEM Workshops So, as you may have heard by now, The Workshop Whore, Greg, Stuntie, Jeremy and I will be doing a SEO workshop series in good old Manhattan. The first class will be held for non-profit groups only. If you read my blog at all, then you know I hold a special place in my heart for charity groups. I know through personal experience what even the smallest of groups goes through in trying to serve their members. Additionally, they have to take an active stance in being found online by those who need them. So, I was pleased to be asked to take part in something that would make a habit out of giving back to organizations who serve all realms of various New York communities. If you&#8217;re not a non-profit, never fear - there will be a New York SEO Class open to the general public, for a fee, in May. You can pre-register for that class by filling out the contact form here. Be sure to subscribe the the blog as we will all be taking turns putting up some useful information there from time to time. Auction Ads - New CPA Ad Network Yesterday, I came across a new ad network called Auction Ads. As you can probably guess by the name, Auction Ads displays live eBay auction based on the keywords that you fill while generating the ad code. Payout is made based on Cost Per Action, which means you’ll get paid, if someone buys the product shown in the ad. Auction Ad was built together by Shoemoney and MediaWhiz (the company which recently bought Text Link Ads (aff) and ReviewME (aff)). How does it work?Auction Ads is completely based off the eBay Affiliate Model, the network can be considered as one large bunch of eBay affiliate. As you might be knowing, eBay affiliate program’s payout depends upon the sales factor, more sales = more revenue, so if Auction Ads can collectively put all publishers together, they could earn better, which means we could earn better. Will it work for you? Now, that depends. I personally didn’t have any previous success with Cost Per Action Advertising Network, but that doesn’t mean that Auction Ads sucks! Since Auction Ads is based off eBay auction, it might work well for product related sites. John Chow wrote a brilliant paid review, which suggests that their current goal is to increase their publisher base. No requirement cap has been set, anybody with a website or a blog can get into the network without any delays. How much revenue share will Auction Ad eat? Surprisingly, Auction Ads currently pays 100% of the revenues earned by the publishers, without keeping any profit, but in the near future, as Auction Ads moves higher in the eBay payroll, they might take a share out of your revenues. Auction Ads Referral Program I believe that the success of an ad network depends on their strong referral program. Take Text Link Ads as an example, they pay 25$ per referral and that is why they are so successful today. Auction Ads has a similar referral payout program, you don’t need to sign up for their referral (heck! they call it Affiliate Program) separately. If your visitor signs up by clicking on “Ads by AuctionAds” that is displayed below each ads, you get 2% out of his revenues for the next 6 months. Auction Ads + AdSense on the same page? Yes, you can display both AdSense and Auction Ads on the same page. If you take a closer look at AdSense TOS, they mention that you can’t place any other contextual ads which resemble Google Ads. And Auction Ads isn’t contextual! Share This SES NY Wrap-Up It was a great week with lots of great photo opportunities.

Yet another intriguing meme hits blog play! Developed by Tino Buntic, this one highlights 2000 bloggers and includes celebrities and the "rest of us" with equal abandon. You'll see Seth Goden and that Trump guy. Hundreds of other folks, and well, me. You'll see me, too. This whole social/viral marketing thing fascinates me, hence I like to play to learn more about its nature, how it works and for how long. As someone who continues to benefit from business/work contacts made 25 years ago when I first began work in DM, I know the long legs of personal networks. Social marketing? Maybe it's all about our 5 minutes of fame. Maybe it's the ultimate in self-absorption. (Andy Warhol made famous the 15 minutes of fame remark. But those we're the pre-internet days. I often wonder how Andy, known for his reclusive nature, would express his art today. Wouldn't that have been something!) I do know it's fun. In any case, here's the 2000 Bloggers photo compilation and their respective links. My, my, what an extraordinarily good-looking bunch o' bloggers we are!                2000 Bloggers featuring The Copywriting Maven and that Trump guy somewhere belowHow many folks do YOU recognize?              Not Necessarily The News: Writing Effective News-Based Blog Posts parenting tips and tricks, or bad parents, or making money on blogs, you’re helping collect and shape information. But most of the time, you want to do Getting The Best Info – First! One of the great things the Internet offers is the ability to share information almost instantaneously.  If you have an RSS (Rich Site Summary / Real Simple Syndication) reader you can get web site updates as soon as they’re published. You can educate yourself quicker and faster, provided the information is legitimate. The topic of online legitimacy was covered in a previous post: How Accurate Is Online Information? One of the largest online information hurdles is determining what information is good and which should be ignored.  Anyone Can Become an ExpertToday anyone can buy a domain and have a web site up and running within a few minutes.  This allows people to publish worldwide at little or no cost.  Online information can be used to control and create either positive or negative outcomes.  There have been presidential elections impacted by what a person posted on their Blog. In the last US presidential election a Blogger challenged the traditional media when it came to President Bush’s military records.  How many times have you received an email or been given a link to an article that’s supposedly legitimate? A few minutes later someone is trumpeting around the office with the “shocking news” they received. Unfortunately all the junk floating around dilutes the credibility of the legitimate information.    It’s Online FirstProvided the information you find can be legitimized there is some great info to be found online.  Top experts write some of the most up to date information on their Blogs before any information gets published in traditional mediums.  If you’re reading it in a book, chances are the information is at least 6 months to a year old.  Some of the best information I get is directly from Blogs I believe to be highly credible. There are reasonable steps anyone can take to make sure the information they’re getting is legitimate.  This allows you to be at the forefront of new and helpful information.Ask yourself the following questions in regards to the information you find online: How long has the web site been operating? What are the author’s credentials and experience? Is the author of the web site or Blog published elsewhere? Is the web site updated on a regular basis? Does the information come from a .gov or .edu extension? Has the author been featured as a keynote speaker? Does the web site provide good contact details? Is the information presented in a balanced and objective manner? With what organizations is the author or web site affiliated? Be vigilant in making sure you’re getting the best information possible.  Below is a short list of Blogs that I trust and visit on a regular basis: SethGodin’s Blog SEOBook.com ChaosScenario Firetop Seomoz.org ShoeMoney DIYCashFlow CopyBlogger SES Chicago '06 Ends, But The Memories and HATBAIT Remain! After a bit of wrangling around with flights (I saw Shoemoney at the airport too, he was having some of the same issues), canceled, delayed, waiting for those jetty walkway things to attach to the plane, waiting for the shuttle to the parking lot .... I made it home.  Philly was a bit warmer than Chicago (thankfully!), however it is flurrying here, like it was in Chicago last night.  I think the snow must like me and followed me here! Annnnnnnnnnnnyway, I rounded out the morning with the "Meet the Crawlers" session and I'm so glad I did, I got a few more pictures and I got to meet Emmitt Laycock, Jenn's beautiful baby boy.  I added a few pictures from the panel and a few more HatBait pictures.  You know they say "save the best for last", the very last picture of the group (which is the feature picture on the HatBait link on the right) is just so cute. I plan to do a wrap up post tomorrow about my wonderful time with all my great friends.  I met so many new people this time around, and it was a lot of fun working on HatBait.  I'm going to hopefully have a post up tomorrow night to explain the voting and who is which picture so you can vote.  I'm thinking since there was quite a few great ideas and photos I'll put together categories and have a winner for each, and then an overall winner.  The overall will win the $25.00 gift card/certificate. I hope all of you had a great time and took away a lot of new ideas.  I know I have at least 20 things buzzing around this head of mind that I'll be even more "wired" than normal when I head into the office tomorrow.  Yes, that is possible - and it's all without caffeine! ;) Vote For Your Favorite HatBait Picture Alright folks - voting starts now!  I'll close out the voting at 9 p.m. (EST) on Wednesday, December 13, 2006, winner announced on Friday, December 15, 2006.  Here's how to vote: Voting is by comment (there is moderation on comments to prevent spam), please leave the following information in a comment: Number the picture is on the list Name of person One vote per comment, if there are two listed, only the first listed count You can vote for yourself (but don't vote for yourself  times!) There are a few people who have two, feel free to vote for either, people with two hatbait pictures will count towards the same person.  If you would like to add a comment onto your vote, feel free!  If there's enough comments on the picture, perhaps will bestow an "honorary" HatBait.com award .... like "Most Tortured HatBait Participant", or most "OxyMoronic HatBait Picture".  So now, without further delay, here's the list, vote away!

General consensus over at his site is that the CJ affiliate program is a place to stay away from.. and now with this kind of bad press coming from some large (and small) blogs I think their business is going to take a big hit.  When will people learn that the best way to run a business is honestly?  You might get ahead in the short-term but in the long-term people are going to find you out and tear you apart. This reminds me of an earlier post I did about online marketing and refunds.  Considering the speed at which information travels on the internet these days no one can hide from doing bad business.  It is much better to put the effort into doing business well and conducting yourself honestly than it would ever be trying to rip someone off. I know I will be abandoning my CJ affiliate account at this point and find someone better to work with.  I don&#8217;t want to work with an affiliate program that ends up ripping you off after you do their advertising. If you&#8217;ve worked with CJ how has your experience been?  What other affiliate programs do you suggest?  I&#8217;d love to hear from all of you. Note: here are a few more links about CJ affiliate program not paying out: DigitalPoint - CJ affiliate not paying out Commission Junction to Start Reversing Paid Out Commissions on Yahoo technorati tags:cj, commission, junction, shoemoney, yahoo, scam, affilliate 2000 Bloggers Project Tino Buntic has produced what could be called the biggest linkbaiting project the blogosphere has seen yet.

Each photo is linked to the author's blog, with the list below being widely reproduced. My Experience At Search Engine Strategies I recently attended the Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose, California. I wasn&#8217;t really sure what to expect as I headed to the conference, and I planned my trip on fairly short notice. But with a bit of effort, and some real persistence on my part, I not only managed to pay $10 (and 50,000 frequent flyer miles) for my flight, but I also was able to get a booking at the Marriott San Jose, the &#8220;official&#8221; conference hotel, even though it had been officially sold out for several weeks/months prior to the conference. I was pretty excited that I, a complete SES newbie, could book the conference on short notice and even manage to snag a room at the sold out conference hotel. I didn&#8217;t pull that off because I was lucky, but rather because I was stubborn and persistent. In my eyes, it is just one more example of instances in my life where luck was &#8220;created&#8221; as a result of persistence. The day before I made the conference booking, a few Thursdays ago, I went to check availability at the Marriott and found that there was at least one available room as the system would have let me book it. So I decided to go forth with my plan. The next day, after I booked my flight, I focused on trying to book my room and began to hit some barriers. The Marriott, which I had nearly booked just 24 hours earlier, was now saying that they were totally sold out. I called the hotel but had no more luck. I then went down the list of hotels in the area, trying to call each one, but it seemed that my &#8220;luck&#8221; had already run out. Many of the nearby hotels were totally sold out, and the gentleman from one was kind enough to lecture me on how it was a busy week for them and their hotel, the Saint Claire, had actually been sold out for weeks. Though I appreciated the seminar on timely travel planning, it is not as if I would have shifted my plans by one week just to make sure I had a room; any master of the obvious would know at this point that my whole point in traveling the distance was to get to go to that conference and soak up as much information as I could. I made an alternative reservation for a nearby hotel, the Hilton. I made the booking primarily so at least I *had* a plan - the last thing I wanted to do was be stuck sleeping on the street when I traveled that far. I chose to make the booking via phone vice off the internet because I wanted to ensure that I could cancel the booking if something better came up. That booking allowed me to at least feel comfortable that I would be fairly close to the thick of things, though not quite an elevator ride away from Sunday night&#8217;s known hang-out at the Marriott hotel bar. But I wasn&#8217;t content. I was stubborn. And I proceeded to check for availability at the Marriott two or three times per day, determined that at some point the web site would once again invite me to make that darn booking. The next time it actually let me, I made up my mind that I would do it without hesitation just so I could ensure I had the full SES experience. I had heard that the hotel bar was the de facto place to hang out during the conference, when not imbibing courtesy of Google or one of the other party sponsors, of course. I felt it was appropriate that I do my part to ensure I only had to take the elevator up a few floors instead of trying to stumble to another hotel, not completely sure of where they all were relative to each other as I had never been to San Jose before. It took four or five days of my checking availability at the conference hotel, but eventually my opportunity presented itself. And I seized it. I got a room at that sold out hotel. I was very excited to say the least. My patience was tried once again when my least favorite airline, and one which may consistently be amongst the lowest rated in America, happened to lose my luggage enroute to San Jose. Well, the didn&#8217;t officially &#8220;lose&#8221; the bags, but they were not at the baggage carousel when I got off the plane in San Jose, and the attendant at the baggage claim office was unable to tell me where they were despite handing me a pamphlet about their baggage tracking system. In fact, she was never able to actually track the bags so I&#8217;m not sure how their system works. So there I was, several time zones away from anyone I knew and just hours before the start of a huge conference, one I had traveled quite a distance to attend and was very very excited to partake in. And all I had was the clothes on my back, which included a pair of dirty socks, boxers, jeans, and an Allman Brothers &#8220;Eat A Peach&#8221; t-shirt that I literally bought for one dollar. A winning combination, don&#8217;t you think? I wasn&#8217;t sure things could get any worse, but it sure seemed like they were heading down that road when the vibe I was getting from my least favorite airline was that I was, well.. SOL. She had no idea where my bags were, and had no idea when they would turn up. It was Sunday evening, the conference started Monday morning, and the clock was ticking if I wanted to take any sort of action to try to rectify the situation. I considered just sitting in my hotel room and crying my eyes out, but I just didn&#8217;t see how that would solve my problem any more quickly. The one thing I did before leaving, though, was get on the internet and search for the closest Wal-Mart. I had hoped that the world&#8217;s largest retailer would have a 24-hour location nearby but was a bit disappointed to find that the closest all night Wally World was about 30 miles away - not terribly cost effective considering that I hoped my bags would turn up eventually. The baggage folks said that the next flight was arriving later and that they would know by 11pm whether or not my bags had turned up that day. I was in a bit of a conundrum as I could either take decisive corrective action or find myself recycling my unmentionables the next day. (I was not looking forward to that.) So I did the next best thing - I headed down to the hotel bar and asked the barkeep to serve me the biggest beer he had. A testament to Marriott&#8217;s corporate modesty, the largest brew was not a &#8220;yard&#8221; of home-brewed goodness but rather a bottle of Samuel Adams. You should know that I am a very patriotic man, and therefore I made the commitment to drink several and began a creative approach to solving my problem. The bar was crowded, and I walked in not knowing anyone there. It was kind of intimidating for me; having been married for more than four years (I can&#8217;t believe it myself) I was pretty afraid that my social skills had hit a new low and since I am a self-professed computer geek they were never really high to begin with. I was also wallowing in my misery a bit, feeling like the world of air travel was somehow getting even with me for taking advantage of two years of first class upgrades while I was living in England. All I kept wondering was how the heck I was going to make this work all the while envisioning thousands of search engine marketers the next day, all pointing at me and laughing at the t-shirt that, at that point, would have literally cost me fifty cents per day to wear. I am really glad I made it down to the bar that first night in San Jose. I got to meet some great people and it really started my SES experience off right. It was awesome. I really enjoyed myself, but as the clock ticked past 9:30pm I decided that it was time to improvise, adapt, and overcome or Wal-Mart would be deciding the outcome of my airline baggage problem for me when they closed their doors at 11pm. Though I wanted to join the group of folks I had just met for dinner, I did the only thing I could at the time - I went out and hailed a cab and told him to take me to the nearest Wal-Mart. Since I had done my homework, I already knew that one was less than 3 miles away, and although I couldn&#8217;t find my way around San Jose the good ol&#8217; cabbie managed to help me out. He took me to Wal-Mart. My only regret is that he let me out of the car, and then parked, left the meter running, and ran in to go shopping too. My mad dash into Wal-Mart that night was my own implementation of the strategies I have seen on that well known yet completely unnecessary television program, &#8220;Supermarket Sweep&#8221;. I dashed in and picked up enough to hold me over for 3 days - three t-shirts, some socks, and a pack of boxers, all the while ensuring the sock design matched everything else in my sock drawer. (A few years ago I made the decision that my casual socks would only be white &#8220;Hanes&#8221; socks that have two gray patches on them, a line of red thread and the word &#8220;Hanes&#8221; emblazoned on them in red threading as well. This decision was not made because I am particularly biased towards the H-brand, but rather just so I didn&#8217;t waste half of my time looking for a match to one unique white sock. They&#8217;re all the same now, and it makes things a heck of a lot easier when I have to take my socks out of the dryer and pair them up. They all match! By switching to one type of white sock I have completely wiped out the sock matching challenges I used to face almost every week.) I was in and out of the store very quickly. I had a hunch the meter was running but didn&#8217;t have a whole lot of choices - either accept the scenario as-is or suffer an unimaginably uncomfortable fate by doing nothing. But when I got out of the store I realized that not only did I not know what the cabbie looked like, but I didn&#8217;t know where he was, either. I walked around the parking lot and did in fact find a taxi cab parked in it. It looked like the cab I took to Wal-Mart, but the noticeable exceptions were that it was parked in the parking lot, was missing a cabbie, and that the meter was still on and running. It took me a second to assemble the wide range of thoughts running in my head, but I didn&#8217;t quite know what to do so I ran back into the store wondering if by chance I would come upon him. I did. The somewhat iterative process may have cost me two or three bucks overall, but beggars can&#8217;t be choosers, especially at 10pm on a Sunday after having delayed the whole process by drinking beer at the hotel bar. Forrest Gump said that &#8220;it happens&#8221;, but the bottom line is that I had enough kit to make it to the conference wearing clean undergarments and a few new t-shirts too. Unless my luggage magically turned up at my hotel that evening, my Monday morning lineup would features Wal-Mart&#8217;s finest, a brown t-shirt that said &#8220;If we&#8217;re not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?&#8221; Perhaps not the most politically correct statement, but it was certainly better than my other options at the time. One of my suitcases turned up at hotel around 4:30am on Monday morning, but it did not have clothes in it. Intsead, it was a nearly empty small bag I brought to hold extra things from the conference - like the new items I had just bought. And so began day one of my Search Engine Strategies experience. I&#8217;d like to point out that the primary reason I decided to travel the distance and head to the conference was the wise words of a guy named Shoemoney. I try to learn from anyone who has experienced what I believe to be great success, and seeing a photo of this guy holding a six figure check for one month&#8217;s earnings was enough for me to identify that I could learn something from him. In one of his recent podcasts, Mr. Shoemaker said that this conference would pay for itself and that if we were serious about earning more money that I couldn&#8217;t afford NOT to attend. That first day, I attended four seminars and had the chance to meet a number of great people. Each of the sessions were very informative and I learned a lot at all of them. I learned about each of the various pay per click programs and the differences in each not just in terms of bidding systems but also in terms of geotargeting, editorial policy, ad position ranking policies, keyword matching, ad testing, etc. I also attended an excellent seminar on branding that made me think about our online businesses in a completely different way than I ever have in the past because I had not interpreting the signals that some of our customers had shown us. I even got the opportunity to attend an excellent and very entertaining seminar on Wikipedia, tagging and social bookmarking. After the whole day I concluded that I was probably worrying a little too much about my &#8220;If we&#8217;re not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?&#8221; t-shirt. My experience that day told me that either no one cared, or they were just laughing to themselves as I didn&#8217;t actually see anyone point and laugh at me. It was a bit of a relief. My luggage turned up early Monday evening much to the relief of both myself and the fashion police. I did pick up t-shirts in preparation for a worst case scenario of no luggage on Tuesday or Wednesday either, but I&#8217;m glad fate didn&#8217;t force me to wear them. That evening I had a commitment to meet a long time friend out for dinner and drinks and we had a lovely evening chatting and catching up. I hadn&#8217;t seen him since I had last made it to the west coast two years ago, and I&#8217;m glad we got the chance to get together. I attended several good seminars on Tuesday, and I also got to meet up with someone from Google Adsense that took some time to help me optimize the Adsense blocks on one of our web sites (not this one). We are earning in the three figures per month from Adsense, a far cry from the numbers that others sport, but it is growing and I was asked if I would be willing to give a video testimonial about my experience with Google Adsense. I was initially a bit reluctant but eventually came around although I did not want to do it then and there as I had plans to attend more sessions and was not quite mentally prepared to do it. I did, however, agree to do it the following morning immediately following the conference&#8217;s keynote event, a conversation with Danny Sullivan and Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Tuesday night was the Google Dance, an annual event at the Googleplex that everyone talks about each year. A few people remarked that they ran out of beer last year, but they did not run into those problems this year. It was a great party and I really enjoyed the evening. I got to speak with some very friendly Google engineers and see demonstrations of a number of Google events. A part of me has always wanted to work at Google, and had my job recruiter been able to get me an interview when I was getting out of the Navy last year perhaps I would be there right now. The Googleplex was awe inspiring. It was huge. They had everything an employee could possibly want, including the ability to take your dog to work, a huge cafeteria (&#8221;Bistro G&#8221;), a wonderful fitness center, and a lot more. I think that Google is probably one of the best places to work in the country, in terms of how they treat their employees. As both an internet geek and a stock investor, it seemed clear to me that Google&#8217;s management not only wants Google users to have a rich user experience but also wants Google employees to have the best experience they can have while working there. Need I say more? I was very impressed with the Googleplex. Wednesday morning started off a bit rough but I was able to take it in stride and recover from the previous evening. The morning started with &#8220;A Conversation With Google CEO Eric Schmidt&#8221;. The keynote was outstanding and I learned a lot both about Google&#8217;s long-term plans and got some insight into how Eric Schmidt thinks. The man is absolutely brilliant and I was very impressed by both what he said and how he said it. I then met up with someone from the Adsense team to do my video testimonial. While in the midst of it, I noticed a vaguely familiar face behind the camera - someone that I thought I knew but wasn&#8217;t quite sure. Once the interview was done I confirmed that it was none other than Neville Medhora! I had the opportunity to hang out and chat with Neville for about an hour or so. I have known Neville for a while now through his blog but have not actually had the chance to meet him in person yet. I did not expect I would run into him while in San Jose. I&#8217;m really glad I did. I attended a few more sessions that day and had a great time that night at the Webmasterradio.fm party that took place at Studio 8. It was a great evening and I got to see many of the people I had met in the days prior. It was a really great party and I hope I&#8217;ll get the chance to go to another. I have learned a lot by listening to the podcasts on Webmasterradio.fm and would recommend them to anyone. Overall, the Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose was the most informative and entertaining conference I have ever attended. I met a lot of great people that I hope to keep in touch with and I learned a lot as well. Update: I recently learned that Danny Sullivan, the founder of Search Engine Watch and Search Engine Strategies, will be leaving Incisive Media later this year and that he will not be involved in next year&#8217;s SES San Jose. I was really hoping to attend the show again next year but it is too soon to tell what that will mean. I am very fortunate that I had the opportunity to travel to San Jose and attend SES because, as of right now, Danny Sullivan will not be involved in next year&#8217;s conference. Though I have not had the opportunity to meet Danny personally, he is a brilliant man and I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

If I had the opportunity to ask those 2 a few questions they would include: Tips on earning 5 figures a month on my blog and What's up with the identical look? Neat idea, check it out here. Comments Bookmark WebProNews: Graywolf’s SEO Blog the Year in Review 2006 Since it&#8217;s the last week in the year I thought I&#8217;d share some stats from this blog with. Now lets take a look at some numbers here&#8217;s a shot of the number of visitors: That dip in March is do to a data loss, not a traffic drop, so I&#8217;d estimate the traffic falls pretty much right in between February and April. Looking at the Alexa data we see a massively spikey graph. I started the year at around 40,000 and ended at about 7,000. I&#8217;m 99.9% sure that I&#8217;m not really that popular and it&#8217;s the webmaster effect. Next up are my feed burner stats. Currently it fluctuates between 1,100 and 1,700. The peaks come when I post multiple times per day or have 5 or 6 posts strung together in a row. The drops come when I take a few days to actually rest or do some real work Next up is a look at my referrers, with the obvious spammers filtered out. While Google is clearly sending me the majority of the traffic, all of the other sources combined is hardly something to ignore.

One day you you’re an appliance salesman at Sears and another you’re a web-celeb making bank on the Internet and helping others do the same. Well, there’s usually a little more to it than that, but as Jeremy Shoemaker explains, it’s taking the initiative that makes the difference.   “Procrastination,” he says, “is a five-syllable word for fear.”   Those of you who attend conferences like Webmaster World probably know, or at least, know of, Jeremy. His boundless enthusiasm for doing successful business on the Web is infectious. In addition to his consulting firm ShoeMoney Media Group, Inc., Jeremy shares his experiences through his blog Shoemoney.com, is an editor at Threadwatch.com, a contributor to SERoundtable.com, and the host of his own radio show, Net Income, on Webmaster Radio. He’s been on both the advertising and the publishing sides of the SEM world.   I recently spoke with Jeremy from his home, the &#8220;ShoeMoneyPlex,&#8221; in Lincoln, Nebraska,  to find out how a little chance, ingenuity and know-how, combined with a lot of perseverance, translates to success.   MICHAEL MATTIS: So give me the quick low-down on ShoeMoney.com and your Webmaster Radio program, Net Income. What are your goals?   JEREMY SHOEMAKER: My goal on Shoemoney.com is to write about my experiences, with the idea that they may help others earn money online. We all have frustrations and need help from time to time, and I just started sharing some of the things I have learned with others. I do this through my radio show as well; in addition to listening to my interviews and hearing ideas, people can call in and ask me questions.   MICHAEL MATTIS: How did you get started in all this?   JEREMY SHOEMAKER: While working as an appliance salesman at Sears, a customer offered me a job at an ISP. The customer had heard I was known to have computer skills. At that time, those skills consisted mostly of playing video games. But I learned everything I could about Linux, Web server management and mail system management. Eventually I ended up doing security administration for large financial institutions. My first web site experience was with MacOsRumors.com. I hosted it and helped in finding advertisers.   MICHAEL MATTIS: How important were those job experiences for what you’re doing now?   JEREMY SHOEMAKER: Very. The MOSR experience showed me the power of the numbers. I could see the statistics and analysis. After all, that’s what Search Engine Marketing (“SEM”) is all about; the numbers and how you make them work for you. And the security administration jobs in the big banks showed me that I didn’t want to be a corporate number all my life. (Editor&#8217;s Note: We resent that last remark ) So I took the leap and started doing my own thing.   MICHAEL MATTIS: How do you enhance your technical skills?   JEREMY SHOEMAKER: By this time you might get the impression that I am fairly action-orientated. I find a lot of solutions just by trying to work problems out. I do have a huge library of programming language books, but I only scan them for clues. I just jump in there and start trying stuff that leads me to a solution.   MICHAEL MATTIS: How did you get started with contextual advertising?   JEREMY SHOEMAKER: My business really took off two-and-half years ago. What really got me interested me in it was that it’s basically “fire and forget.” You just fire off a simple line of code and let advertisers choose the best product to advertise on your web site based on context.   I got interested in it because it makes money. I can instantly deploy advertising on five million pages like I did it by hand. What more can I say? Contextual advertising; it’s quick; it’s easy, it makes money. Win, win, win.   MICHAEL MATTIS: If there were three things that you would tell other publishers to help them be successful, what would they be?   JEREMY SHOEMAKER: Number One: Just do it! If you have an idea, go with it. Get a site up and running. Procrastination is a five-syllable word for fear. Don’t be afraid to fail or that your site isn’t a work of art. Get it going and tweak it later. Believe me; you will learn so much stuff just by doing it.   Number Two: Don’t overplan. You can get yourself into a state of paralysis by analysis. No kidding, I get guys sending me 12-page business plans almost every day. And that’s fine, but it won’t get your site up and running. I truly believe in this business, but structure has to come after the money starts coming in.   Number Three: Prioritize Potentially Profitable Projects. Take an honest look at your ideas. Then work on the idea that has the most potential for profit. The goal here is to make money, not to be entertained. I love what I do, but the thing I love most about it is the money it makes me. I love keeping score with dollars.   —Michael Mattis, Blog Editor       Bodoglife com Bodog Online Poker Online Casino and Sportsbook photo of Bodoglife com Bodog Online Poker Online Casino and Sportsbook.

Aaron Wall (seobook) Scott Adams (dilbertblog) Markus Frind (plentyoffish) Jeremy Shoemaker (Shoemoney) Yes they all can write, they use humor, they post consistently, they focus on a main topic but they mix it up every so often. I think the most important thing about these great bloggers is that they GIVE of themselves. Their blogs are personal. They share their experiences, and exhibit a ton of honesty, or they just don't care what others think. Shoemoney on Affiliate Marketing Shoemoney (Jeremy Schoemaker) did a great show, answering affiliate questions on Net Income webmasterradio.fm (mp3) show this week. This show was like listening to a Ph.D on affiliate marketing. Insanely valuable information if you do any lead generation or affiliate business. Overall theme of this show is growth in affiliate activity, and Jeremy had his buddy Todd (aka Stuntdubl) collect a bunch of affiliate questions. I transcribed / paraphrased his Q&A below. Q: What do you look for in affiliate programs? Terms? A: Word-of-mouth from other people. Payout is important, determining conversion ratios depends on testing over time. Shawn said: "Trust" - wants to trust the program and know the people - how do they treat other affiliates, how do they convert, do they pay on time. Contact the merchant / affiliate broker - if you are doing something shady / 'innovative' / in the gray area. Check it with them, so you don't get banned and lose commissions. Stay in communication with the affiliate manager. Q: As a publisher is it sufficient to just create landing pages for particular products or better to create a unique site or domain? A: It really depends on the product - on ringtones, you want a high quality landing page. Doing more work and more research makes it easier to develop something unique. Use tools and track. Mentions crazyegg.com as a service that collects good stats. Owning your own domain lets you do tracking better. Q: How do you negotiate a better deal or find "private" affiliate program? A: Every company has leeway. They always can pay you more, if you get what's advertised you need to press. (He encourages you to be aggressive - especially if you have the volume). "Never show all your cards". He kinda emphasizes "the squeaky wheel gets the oil." But he gives great advice - don't ask a question which is an easy no. Don't ask: "Can I get a pay raise?". Easy no. Phrase as: "What can you do for me, I need to get bumped for this volume." Most of the time when Shoemoney talks about "affiliate" companies, he's talking about CPA places like AzoogleAds, CPAEmpire, XY7. He talks about Commission Junction as well. Q: Do you sell leads to multiple programs? A: Shawn answers: make sure it's ok with the partner companies if you do it. He's partly talking about advertising multiple offers on the same page, versus say mortgage leads, which can be sold to multiple places. (Ad Break - there's a funny spoof ad in here with Shoemoney rapping/beat boxing some X-mas songs ) Q: Affiliate links and commission hijacking A: Shoe brings up cookie blocking in Spyware Search & Destroy. Which could prevent DoubleClick and AzoogleAds leads from getting credited. Shawn adds that the toolbar / spyware world can over-write cookies - taking credit for affiliate sales. Stuff to watch out for... more awareness is needed... Flash Games, DRM video, Zango, certain toolbars do this, and the affiliate companies aren't doing much about it. Best way to protect yourself now: Watch your stats / ROI. Q: What do you use for tracking? A: Shoe uses Webalizer (log analysis) and in-house stuff reporting on ROI. Also crazyegg to improve landing pages. Mentions click fraud tracking from enquisite.com. Clicktracks gets a vote from Shawn. Q: How does he target typos via ppc ( strategies etc.. )? How does his typo strategies differ from engine to engine ? A: Shoe doesn't do typos on MSN, since traffic is so cheap. Mentions the MSN limit of 40k keywords per MSN account. On Google he does almost nothing but typos - mentions Syndk8 forum has tools for generating "one-off" keyboard typos. On Yahoo - quality control makes it painful to do too many typos. He brute forces it on Yahoo. Q: Can you explain what incentivized offers are? How do you make money and keep fraud down? A: Incentivized offer: you can give people an incentive for completing the offer(s). Like a free iPod, or a free TMX Elmo, or a gift card. There's a ton of fraud since people can put in worthless lead info. Leads get rejected by the affiliate manager. Shoe says you have to maintain a database of email farms and he filters out those bad leads. It's a differentiator if you can keep the quality of your leads up. Shoe advises communication with the affiliate managers, again. Q: If I get a hot chick to write your name on her chest and take a pic, will you link to me? A: Yeah. He'll totally link to it. Maybe with a link condom... (I KNEW the answer to this one... :) Q: Besides PPC, what are some of the best way to drive & increase traffic to a real site for affiliate links? A: Could use Myspace, Digg, social sites - "Ten ways to make money online" and you add your affiliate links. Digg users will click on certain affiliate links, but not adsense. Use forums. Start a thread, and drop your link in... 3rd tier PPC like AdBrite, Kanoodle - take a lot of experimenting. Cloaking is OK by Shoe in some cases. I.e give Digg users other stuff than AdSense, because you know they aren't gonna click on that. Show them something else! Q: If he lost everything (his websites, partnerships, etc) today what would his actions be tomorrow? A: He pretends like this happens everyday! What to do now? Keeps him hungry. Come up with new ideas. If he could go back 5 years, he would have done more social media, more ringtones, more community driven sites around music. Personally, I would have bought a lot more good domain names if I could go back :) Also Shoe would've started his own affiliate company. He would've pushed the gray areas oriented. Wouldn't have listened to the nay-sayers. He thinks it's a great time to be in this business. Place to be. Q: What does he feel is the single biggest mistake most people make that keep them from making more money? A: He's emphatic here: People think of reasons why stuff won't work, they talk themselves out of it. Jeremy, says "JUST START WORKING ON IT". You'll learn. Don't sit on it. Just do it. Basically: it's Yoda: "There is no try, there is only do..."
