Making Money With Contextual Advertising – NYC Presentation

Posted on: April 15th, 2007 by Jeremy Schoemaker

Here is my presentation from NYC. Unlike Chicago this is about the 6th time I have done public speaking and I felt a lot more comfortable. Still a lot of room for improvement

I did receive written permission to record the session and publish it on my blog or use it for other “non commercial” use.

Evil Green Monkey Did a live writeup of the session over at seroundtable.

    The presentation was good and the conference was informative.

    Several references were made to using Heatmaps for Ad placement.

    wow, Australia. You know it would be nice if they paid a small company to make the video presentations available afterwards (minus some stuff to still make it valuable to actually go) and charge like $200-300 for the collection for those of us that still would like the info but cant make it. just an idea

    Jeremy, you’re really improving on your speaking engagements. I’d love to see a video series on your website.

    I would love to cover more advanced issues but the panel is making money with contextual advertising. I think about half of the audience was pretty new to it. If you have any specific advanced issues related to contextual advertising I would love to hear them. (Believe me )

    what site is he talking about?
    that ringtone one?

    Add roughly 2 days extra travel, jet lag, and several thousand dollars of plane tickets to and from Australia, and I’ve got a similar dilemma.

    But I’m sure I’ll get a lot out of these.

  15. Brent Hodgson
    April 18, 2007 at 8:03 am

    Yeah – I couldn’t agree more.

    In a past life, I used to promote and run wealth creation seminars (marketing & back of house).

    If you’ve got the fundamentals, you’ll brush up really well. If you don’t, then it doesn’t matter how good the content is, it’s rare to nail a killer presentation.

    For what it’s worth, I think you’ve got it where it counts. As your wife says – you speak well… she might be a little biased, but I agree… ;)

    Much better then the other presentation Shoe.

    Would like to see you talk about more advanced issues in the future though.

    Nice presentation, Shoe. Hopefully, I’ll get to sit in on another session of yours. I was at your session at SES Chicago last year, and took a lot out of it.

    Wow, very open presentation. I got 2 pages of great notes TY for sharing the info. It is also great to hear you started out from nothing. I hope you can broadcast more of your presentations in the future.

    I wrote an article on my blog around some points on this presentation. I thought the presentation was a pretty good introduction to contextual advertising.

    I liked the part about Shoe’s Dad getting banned from Adsense. Adding in personal references can endear you to audiences.. :)

    Great meeting you in person as well Shoe!

    They charge a good buck for attendance, I keep wanting to go but its like $1000 + travel costs..

  36. Jay
    April 16, 2007 at 1:50 pm

    Thanks Shoe I’ll check that out!

  37. Jay
    April 16, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    I would love to go but the cost is just so high it’s just kind of hard to justify, I make a good side income on the web but not enough to fly out to New York for a few days.

  38. Jay

    I could hear him just fine? I wish we could see the slides but I guess beggars can’t be choosers.

    Ya I’m horrible with public speaking, Shoe looked a bit nervous at the start but it was a very easy to watch presentation.

    Shoe got me turned on to heat maps from a previous talk he gave. I am still new at it, but it is really interesting to see what people click on. It hasn’t been so useful for the main part of the content area of my blog, but is is AWESOME for tracking where people are clicking on the sidebar.

  50. Thor Schrock
    April 16, 2007 at 8:30 am

    They are going to need someting BETTER than what Googe has if they hope to compete. Simply matching Google is not enough at this point.

  51. Thor Schrock
    April 16, 2007 at 8:25 am

    They have to leave some reason for people to attend the confrence. These things are not cheap to put on and they need make money on the deal too.

  52. Thor Schrock
    April 16, 2007 at 8:23 am

    Those kind of things come with time an experience. Something tells me that Shoe will have plenty of speaking opportunities in the future!

    Gret reentatin Shoe! I always get so many new deas whenever I have teportuniy to listen to you speak. Tnks for making he effort to get peission to tape and bradcast this.

    As a listen of your radio show I feel cheated. You just rehashed old radio shows. Now in your next blog post NICHE DROP LIKE ITS 2005! *rubs hands together in anticipation* (hey guys, you think it’ll work?)

    Also, In this post you dangled a carrot in front of my face with the edit.

    Excellent presentation. I have to applaud you on holding Yahoo accountable for their targeting problems. I’ve had major problems as an advertiser in the past with Yahoo ads running on sites that didn’t even contain my target keywords. I’m talking top 5 bid short tail targeted life insurance ads being run on myspace layout sites. I really hope that a serious dialog about this problem opens up soon.

    I thought you did a great job… seemed genuinely friendly and open to helping us out.

    now if we could just get you to sit that same camera in every session next year, we’d be able to skip the thousand dollar or so entrance fee and watch the conference at home.

    I can assure you , in most time when you give a presentation you dont see anyone in front of you .

    you are in another world lol

    Its sooo hard (especially for beginners)

    Great one Shoe, your presentation skills are pretty good actually, you certainly delivered the message.

    I really enjoyed your presentation. I agree, seeing the slides would have been good for your jokes, but it was a fun presentation as it was anyway.

    Shoe,

    Great presentation. Just by chance do you have those sites you were mentioning? Or are you not allowed to give those out?

    I really hope YPN starts getting their stuff together and figures out how to target ads finally!

  67. Brent Hodgson
    April 15, 2007 at 10:51 pm

    I’m sure the SES guys wouldn’t like to hear you say that – presumably the reason they wanted to limit what you released was so that people would want to come along to the events to get what they missed out on! :P

    So far, I think the bus trip is the big thing we missed out on ;)

    I was there with my wife. I was throwing up East Coast gang signs to Shoe but he must not have seen me. Trust me everything important was in the talk not in the presentation. Very inspiring Jeremy! I would have introduced myself but I was nursing a hangover.

  72. ShoeMoney
    April 15, 2007 at 10:08 pm

    Actually part of the agreement of me being able to post the video is that I would not post the slides. Also my slides are really boring and would make no sense. They are just funny pictures for the most part.

    :-) That presentation was good and that conference was informative.

    Several references were made to using Heatmaps for Ad placement.

    Could you do a future post on Heatmaps and how to get access to this technology?

    Thanx
