Keep on getting the media attention and you’ll be on the cover of Time soon enough… oh, wait… do they even print stuff any more?
Seriously, cool mention.

Yeah man, *nod* to you. I hope one day I’ll be considered an expert…

…on anything…(#);D

Way to be in the media Shoe. Arbi is seems to be getting alot of attention, and now by major publications.

Can I ask something shoe. Does something like that bring in ALOT of new visitors? Or is it not even noticeable to you anymore?

Mubin-

For sure in fact its probably the best way to reach people. Usually when mentioned in something like this you will see a increase in rss or email subscriptions for a week or so.

I just wish it was for something I made more money off of lol.. (this blog is not really profitable for the time it takes)

I would think it might be negligible since it wasn’t an actual link, the average reader wouldn’t copy and paste to get here. Shoe confirmed that by saying an increase for a week or so. Almost like the social bookmark effect, where traffic will spike for 24-48 hours and not result in very many repeat visitors.

I find it funny the quote from google blasts MFA sites and sites with ads, when they stick recommendations in your account every month if you only have 1 or 2 ads per page that more ads will increase revenue. They’re basically trying to slay the monster they created.

So when are you starting SHOENN?

Congrats on the mention Shoemoney! That’s BIG.

I was reading the paper today and when I saw your name, I said out loud “OMG, I read his blog!” — it made for an awkward moment on the streetcar, but I still felt proud. Nice job!

Not profitable? With all the traffic you get? Wow, I guess you aren’t really selling anything.

That’s for sure, not many net guys can claim to be quoted in the NYT.

13.5k. Yea Not that much
Maybe you should give me a free linkback

They did at least put your whole url in there and didn’t leave it as just your name.

This is written under the image, “Google is sending cease and desist orders to companies that buy ads tied to Web searches.” What the heck are they talking about?

Wow, I’m surprised the general public cares enough for this to be news.

Speaking of which, how many visitors do you get per day here, Shoe?

awesome man… love from offline sources is always grand!

@Link Snitch–that’s the Post, not the NYT.

Anyhow, I’m glad to see that you guys are quoted.

Adsense expert… hahahaha

outside the ads on the right, there isn’t really much monetization going on …

yeah, with just your name there is 0% chance someone will google you to see if you have a blog.

NYP dude

Yeah, not quite the same as the NYT, but still nice.

I was lucky enough to have one of my sites mentioned in an ABCNews.com article in December and saw the traffic on that site quadruple for about 2 weeks. Too bad it was only text and not a link. Anyway, I gotta say that a mention in the New York Times has got to be huge.

Someone has been chit-chatting with Patel.

Name spelled right and they called you an expert! Way to go. Are you getting the paper copy to hold on to and show the grandkids one day?

Pretty cool that you were quoted!

10 trillion uv a day… of course

wonder if your dam name will ever be in the Tennessean… lol frontpage
“SHOEMONEY EATS A HUMAN LEG”
meh… it’s late

Can’t forget the ads up top right too not to mention the RARE reviews.

Wow, you’ve got to be happy with that. Congratulations on the coverage.

Yep. Interesting article; but on the other hand, arbirtrage seems to be Google’s main business.

You should get into feedburer’s FAN network to have ads in your feeds and on your site. Check your “monetize” tab in your feedburner account.

I guess when compared with your other numbers the blog is more a labor of love than a cashflow machine. (Even though it generates very decent revenue.)

Cool mention and great exposure.. any chance they will link to you from their online edition?

nice type in traffic Jeremy. Congrats.

Greate to be in newspaper, I was once in BusinessWeek and felt the happiness.

Yeah, not much monetization, but the traffic volume has to be intense.

The question is do they? Has it been seen anywhere else?

Grats to you both. Must be great to get the exposure.

You’re becoming somewhat of a celebrity.

I always looked up at those guys able to make money out of thin air,start a website and fast turning it into a profitable one,by owning the network, ppc, black-hat techniques, etc. But I always told to myself that on long term it does not pay, just stick to the right things, otherwise one movement like this one makes you loose big time.

Correct websites does not have to worry I think.

I thought it was a pretty good article.

“”Google is sending cease and desist orders to companies that buy ads tied to Web searches - but then yank users to sites with no relevant content.”"

It’s about time Google did something of the MFA sites. They REALLY bring down our revenue

[...] several interviews a few actually linked to me about the whole adsense arbitrage [...]
