I did a interview last week with Geoffrey (G-Man) from SEOMOZ. Check it out here . He asks some great off the wall questions I dont think I had ever been asked in a interview before. Anyway I think its one of the better interviews I have done.

Nah, I think he wrote them all on paper, then typed them up.

Very nice interview. Makes me want to listen to the rest of your webmasterradio programs… I just need a better MP3 player. BTW, when will you be in Omaha so we can do lunch?

It’s easy. Just own sites that require very little or no maintenance.

He probably has moderators do it.

Very nice interview shoe. You are the man.

Even if the advice would be worthless, the inspiration alone is priceless

Nice, but you more or less contradicted yourself. You don\’t outsource yet you spend a tiny percentage of your time managing all that ?
The diversity of what you say you\’re into describes a very demanding role. Sorry dude, but either the story is incomplete or you\’re stretching the truth a tad

Nice read. Very informative

Good to see someone pushing quality sites as opposed to shitty scraper/arbi sites.
October 23, 2006 at 6:28 pm
BigJ, well, maybe he doesn’t make it easy for the ‘rug rats’ take his time
I’ll agree that building quality sites is the only way to make serious money, too

Shoedog,
Great interview. It was an interesting and worthwhile read. Thanks.
October 23, 2006 at 2:55 pm
Shoedog, you are the man. Very good interview without giving away too much using solid answers. I love that you’re still able to spend time with your daughter. I hope to be there soon to do the same.

Thanks for sharing,

I think the accountants choose llc because there are some partnerships in place there.

Wow, one of the best and most candid interviews I have seen. No fluff, all good stuff. See what happens when you let a black hat ask the questions.
I do have one question. In one sentence you say
“I try to build websites / communities that people like to use and I brand them.”
and then in another you say
“I spend maybe 2-5% of my time maintaining what I have and the rest of the time trying to grow.”
That seems a little a contradiction to me. How do you spend so little time maintaining community sites. Watching after the little rug rats on a site has always been something that takes me forever.

You are absolutely right, that actually was a really good interview. Too bad about the transcript thing, I would say to keep riding Webmasterradio because some of the stuff you say is gold and should be in written form as well.
I noticed for Spacelook you did your paypal as Spacelook LLC, do you branch off most of your businesses as individual LLCs?
