Its been a bit since i did a Monday questions post. Sorry I got caught up. Keep them coming 
James Writes:
Would be interesting to know how much you personally make from az referrals, since I read that you have more referrals under you than anyone else. Blog about it, fill us in!
First you have to keep in mind that I do not think I have ever used my affiliate ID when linking out to Azoogle and most of the time in the past I have posted there direct phone number (even my reps number) so I probably do not get near the people I have actually referred. Reason mainly being is that AzoogleAds has always been a sponsor of the shoemoney blog since we started doing advertising and I kind of feel like that would be double dipping and dirty…
However to answer your question I have about 45 refers and consistently make between 400-500$ per month from them alone.

I have a topic for your Mondays question that I have been thinking
about…. What is the effect of AdBlocks on the Net Advertising
Market?Here is a blog post I did on it from my view (on my new blog):
Good question Pat-
Here is my thoughts on adblocking software and plugins… people savy enough to install them are not clicking on ads. I mean thats as easy as I can put it. When you have to worry is when browsers come default blocking ads. THEN THE WORLD COMES TO A END!.
I really do not think that would happen though…. Microsoft is just getting into the online advertising world and Firefox’s biggest contributors are advertising companies. Not smart to bite the hand that feeds you!

Hi Jeremy
How’s things?
What would you do with a 2003 ringtone domain name? Content Site, Aff marketing, PPC marketing, white label site?
hmmm I am guessing your using 2003 as the year the domain was registered and if that assumption is correct I am guessing your asking what do you do with a domain that does well in serps for ringtone phrases?
If that is the case then I would try to build a content site. You will burn a site out pretty bad in serps if it has only affilaite links on it (in my experience).

Shoe I saw that you are giving a presentation on SEO at eBay devcon in boston next month? What made you choose SEO?
I was asked by eBay to give a presentation on SEO and I said that if I did it would not be a classic by the book presentation but rather one based purely on my experiences. Basically not a “webmaster guidelines for seo” but more here is what I did that worked and here is what I did that did not work. They were cool with that and so its on
I can promise for those in attendence it will be kind of the alternative view to SEO (much like my contextual presentations).

Hi Jeremy,
I have a sports card trading/community site that ranks well in google and I don’t want to screw that up.
For programming purposes, and the site’s current crappy navigation structure, I’m looking at possibly having to change from a .asp to a .aspx on the home page of my site.
Will this hurt my google page ranking?
My first question would be why do you need to change from asp to aspx. I am not a asp wizard but I am guessing you can tell the server to process asp pages like aspx ?
If you must switch over the url structure you need to be very delicate. Again I am not a asp ninja but in the unix world we use mod_rewrite to redirect old urls to point to the new ones. Maybe someone can point out a guide to the Microsoft IIS equiv to mod_rewrite.
Hope everyone is having a good memorial day!

Yeah, and I can’t see browsers containing built in adblocks as a default option. However, if it did happen, that would have quite an effect.

Search engines won’t like the 302 redirect. It tells them it is just a temporary move, which means all the links to the original page won’t be transfered to the new page. Use a 301 permanent redirect so as not to run the risk of losing the link juice or use the ISAPI rewrite.

you are SO right. I agree with you completely. I’v had similar experiences with referrals.
May 30, 2007 at 2:37 pm
Yup! Popups are a thing of the past. I think just tribalfusion has popup advertising still in the system.
Try ADBLOCK- A plugin for FF. Great plugin.Right click and block the URLS you dont wish to be displayed

I use azoogle but it doesn’t work well for me so I gave up and moved to yahoo ads and sponsored reviews and thats where I’m making my money.
But I wish you came out with more podcasts

Thanks Shoe

Regarding asp – aspx – the meaning is that web site application is switching to .net.
In order preserve search engines rankings it is possible to use permanent redirects like so:
http://blogs.x2line.com/al/archive/2007/04/23/2977.aspx
My advice though is to use this opportunity and to build more generic urls extentsions. ASP.NET is very flexible with it just use urlrewriting with HttpModules

Referals can be profitable but i have found that 95% of referals give it a go and half give up so 5% create 100% of the referal income (somewhat true about industry, top 5% generate the most.). Glad to see you are back answering questions.
May 28, 2007 at 3:13 pm
Hey, I e-mailed you a couple weeks about getting a referral from you, and you never responded. Thus, I just gave them your name. Hopefully that was enough to hook you up.

Pop ups are a thing of the past for most people. I never get any…

Regarding mod_rewrite equivalents for IIS, you can also take a look at IIS Mod-Rewrite. It is fully compatible with mod_rewrite and also it supports .htaccess.

I have some experience moving classic asp pages to .NET and I’ll tell you what worked for me. I simply kept the asp version of the pages along side the new .NET page and commented all the code out in the asp page except to add a response.redirect(“newpage.aspx”) to the corresponging new aspx page. This will return a “302 Object moved” to the bots (and anyone else requesting the page), and send them along to the new aspx page. Hope that helps.

Hey Dudes and Dudettes… you can tell IIS to process asp files aspx ask your host to take care of that if you can’t do it from your control panel.
SHoe that link to that guys blog looks like it is yours at first glance… after clicking it i realized the link was part of the question not the response.

Possible answer to URL Re-write question:
Really depends if your running IIS or Apache. I’m going to assume that your running IIS and if that is the case, I’ve used this product with a lot of success http://www.isapirewrite.com. If apache is install, just enable the mod_rewrite module for apache and configure it in the httpd.conf file.

About adblocking software, there are enough add ons for firefox to block ads, I dont think a built in feature is even needed.. And people generally dont block all ads from all sites, it is just the overtly intrusive ads that they get annoyed about
