BumpZee, SEO Conferences, Affilate Trends, Affiliate Distrust and more on the SMS

Posted on: March 13th, 2007 by Jeremy Schoemaker

Season 2 of Net Income AKA the Shoemoney show happened today. If you missed it live you can listen here:

http://media.webmasterradio.fm/episodes/audio/2007/NI031307.mp3

Special thanks to my co-host kris jones!

Items discussed:

  • BumpZeeJangro’s new social dealio for affiliate and search engine marketers.
  • Googles new policy about not having search results in there search results (and how this will effect comparison shopping engines).
  • How affiliates need to keep track of memes and holidays and how to make money off them
  • Recent Ringtone events and Affiliate distrust.
  • Current state of the affiliate industry.

Its cool to be doing the show again! Thanks to Eddie for producing and our great sponsors as always!

ADDED:

In the podcast I made mention that I thought it was weird some of Shawn Collin’s posts and podcasts maybe showing favoritism between affiliate networks. I also had heard rumors that there was many ties between Shawn and CPA Empire. During the podcast I said that I thought it would be good if Shawn would dislcose those relationships.

Shawn has commented here, on the bumpzee thread, and also contacted me personally telling me he has no financial or personal ties at all to CPA Empire.

    I have just joined bumpzee, it is a little confusing I still have to figure it out; but I think it does have a lot of potential.

    Thanks for introducing me to BumpZee. It’s definitely no Digg.com (yet), but I like the fact that it has a more defined group of readers/users.

    Jeremy – just heard the podcast with Kris Jones and your mention of a potential big-time guest had my wheels turning. Was that going to be Meg Whitman??
    Any other guesses folks?

    J,
    I have a question? Why would a ringtone advertiser put a drop down box on the PIN CODE page asking the user to Select There Device?

    SHOE,

    I just listenend to your radio show..And wanted to correct that guy from Pepper Shaker or Whatever..You are not an authority on the ringtone space.We who represent the content sellers DIRECT and bring them to the affiliate networks you grab a link from Just wanted to clairify you are a big producer but not an expert in the Mobile Space..
    and Shawn Collins Is full of shit and Ricter funding…

    Jaysus, you deserve all your success putting in those hours. Fair play.

    He should have. I got mine like a minute before they started, and I got to listen in live. Was a good show! Shoe you did great even when you sometimes went into a little too much detail.

    I always pick up a little bit more on each show. ;)

    I like showmoney show better – it keeps your topics open – giving you leeway to talk about other things besides what people want to hear. ;)

    March 14, 2007 at 3:03 pm

    Yee haw – shoemoney show sounds cool too – i’d rather have that because like you said you can expand and talk about more issues.

    Excellent show Jeremy,

    Does this mean you’ve agreed to continue to do Net Income for another Season?

    Awesome show Jeremy. I was hoping you’d be back. I never miss them.

    Checking out bumpzee now… never heard of them before.

    I’m kinda glad Google is getting rid of search results in the SERPs… I hate clicking through only to see a list of more crap that doesn’t help me find what I’m looking for. ;)

    Bumpzee is pretty awesome. I signed up a month ago and I really like the fact that so many good affiliate marketing blogs are sharing knowledge in one place.

    There’s just so much stuff to listen and learn. You are fantastic, Shoemoney. Thanks.

    Probably, i like downloading it and listening it thru an easier interface than a little button on firefox anyway.

    I’m happy to see you’re back for Season 2, after last season it seemed up in the air, awesome! Something to listen to now when I run again… just in time for Spring. :)

    Just listened to the show…man that Azoogle API sounds leet…if it isn’t the white label solution I brought up on DP a few weeks ago, which you have to do massive volume to be able to use.

    AWESOME!! Looking forward to these shows again! Thanks.

    I had no idea you were starting the show up again so soon. Should be a good listen!

    > Ya you guys are not in tight at all

    Missy was an employee there at that time. That’s no secret. She is no longer there.

    I was never on their payroll and I’m the one blogging about the ringtone stuff.

    March 13, 2007 at 9:58 pm

    Hey Jeremy -

    Just listened to your show: “Shawn is heavily vested with CPA Empire”?!

    You are 100% off on me having any relationship with CPA Empire.

    Anybody that claims I have an connection with them – please have them detail it here, because it’s a load of BS.

    They’ve exhibited at Affiliate Summit, and that’s it.

    Missy was formerly an employee with CPA Empire – she has no ties to them now.

    As far as ringtones, I don’t pretend to be an authority of any kind. I just became curious about it after speaking with the investigators.

    In addition to my recent post about the Azoogle affiliate, I also had a post a couple weeks ago where I linked to your news on CPA Empire.

    Glad to see your show back on. A lot of people were missing it in your absence. Keep up the good work…

    If you’re in the forum, you got an email, didn’t you get one?

  48. natekapi
    March 13, 2007 at 9:10 pm

    Hell yeah!!! You should have posted something letting us readers/listeners know that you were back!

    I caught the show real time and i enjoyed it. The best tid bit was making sure not to miss out on whats hot in the world and news and use that to catapult your campaigns.
