Sorry its been so slow posting. In the last 2 weeks I went from 5 days in Miami to NYC then to Moline IL then I just got home.
Some big things happening 
So now just catching up on email for the last 2 weeks and returning calls from people who think I am ignoring them =(
I just found out today that Marcus Frind will be joining the “Making Money With Contextual Advertising” panel in SES San Jose so that was really cool news. Marcus owns the Plenty Of Fish dating website and kills it in contextual revenue. If people thought I put up some big checks just wait until that panel… course his is in canadian… jk =P

We thought you died!
welcome back! I hope you liked the t-shirt
Hope the trip brought new perspectives – welcome back and thanks for providing updates where you could
Wow, you’ve been busy. Welcome back.
Well, the Canadian dollar will probably be at par by then – it is around 96 cents right now.
That’s going to be one serious panel to get on board with.
Good to have you back, Shoe.
Please please please look into Auction Ad issues – I have over a dozen “made for Auction Ads” sites that are all F’ed right now because AA is displaying non-related ads – I’ve got DJ equipment sites showing Chanel handbags and Timeshare sites showing Wii games – HELP!
I’ve emailed AA support 3 times and have gotten one “We’ll fix it in 24 hours” – that was over a week ago.
For some sites, I re-generate and publish the code and the ads will match the keywords for a few hours – then they show irrelevant ads once again. Other keywords – like “timeshare” – won’t even generate correctly.
In fact, for this blog – shoemoney.com – I’m seeing Chanel sunglasses ads.
Don’t want you to publish this comment – I’m a big fan of you and Auction Ads – just thought this would be the best way to inform you.
Thanks,
John
yeah, i have recently started reading your blog, and seems kind of slow, i am glad this is out of the norm!
i saw marcus on the today show. this guy hit it big with adsense. He’s one of my main motivators. You gotta see his “office”…
You don’t know me, but I was having Shoemoney withdrawal and believe you me that is not a pretty sight!
And congrats on the H2! I’d have gone for a Dodge Ram or a Ford Powerstroke personally, but yeah that’s just me.
And yes I know that was a long time ago for the H2 but I figured I’d mention it since it was in the related posts
Big things happening? Like what?
Google bought out shoemoney.com
How much is plentyoffish making?
The thing is he owns the whole website to himself, so all the profits are his. His adsense check is enough to live on. For more info try youtube or google it, his story is definitely an inspiration for webmasters trying to make money online.
Nice.
How to attend a web funeral?
Well – the comment was published.
I don’t want to give the wrong impression – Auction Ads has been fantastic – but in the last 7-10 days the keyword matching hasn’t been working well at all.
It’s impossible to monetize when the ads have zero relevance.
Welcome back home. Seems you had a good time. I’m looking forward to your new post.
Don
SERIOUSLY…i was starting to wonder when the next post would be…That and i Wanted to see the new tshirt…since im planning on sending you one. POF…wus the 411? kinda funny i was just reading yesterday when you were calling him out a while back about being legit or not!…
Like art check me out here, and send your orders for art.
mabe you should have bought a volvo….
Why mock the CAD Shoe? Our dollar is not that far behind the US
Moline isn’t to far from me. I drove by there today on my across state trip.
It’s been awfully long
Lookin’ forward to new posts!
Don’t worry, shoe. I forgive you.
Steve
let’s chip in for a big shoe casket.
Shoe!
I went to Canada the other day to go gambling and got .02 on my USD… UGH
I think Canada is taking over
He was also featured on the Today show. He chills at home with his girlfriend and programs about an hour a day. This guy has it locked down.
Will The Shoemoney Show be on tomorrow?
Hah, tell me about it! My adsense check this month was about the same in canadian dollars as it was in amerian – with the bank exchange rate and all :S
Marcus should spend an extra hour a day on design, lol. I give the guy big props, but POF is visually hideous
Nice you made it back man! thats the only downfall of traveling is catching back up.
welcome back home, I wish I could travel to all these places like you
Wouldn’t you get bored if you just chilled at home all the time?
Yeah but it’s still canadian.
I use the keyword of my ebay sellerid – this means it shows my auctionads on ebay when they are there otherwise it shows the best converting items on ebay.
If you want to email me the sites I will look into it but we have not had any targeting issues.
thats the first i’ve seen of anyone having targetting problems :-\
Thanks, Shoe.
I replaced all the code last night and so far so good – it usually takes a couple of hours for AA to start showing irrelevant ads – I’ll shoot you an email when this occurs.
Thanks for the great customer care – I appreciate your time.
Traveling the country is always a good time. But of course, the downside is being away from the computer. For me, this is the hardest part of leaving home base!
Welcome back!
I wouldn’t be bored knowing I had a gazillion dollars in the bank. Well actually I wouldn’t be at home either!
Anyone think he should change the look of the site? Seems dated. But that may add to the appeal.
Busy days. Hope you soted everything out.
LOL, I don’t think even ShoeMoney would give it up for anything less than a billion.
Glad to see that you’re back home. And I’m sure you’re glad to be back home, right? Ya know, there are solutions to your problems of not being able to post that much while you’re on the road: do it remotely, blog via cell phone, start microblogging via twitter or something like that?
It does the job the way it is, who knows the look might be part the reason it’s so successful.
Shouldnt that be the other way around?
When are you getting a Lambo, Shoe?
It’s the Plenty O Fish stories that inspire me and keep me focused. Drive on…
Glad you’re back!
Yeah – Me too!
Glad you are back
yeah, it’s been kind of silent around here. lucky you’re back
technical solutions don’t necessarily mean that you also always find the time to use them.
Shoe Money back on his grizzy
Frind makes a ton of money..
Jeremy, thank you for the link to your “pops” web site One thing you failed to mention was the fact that I didn’t know how to turn a computer on three years ago. Due to the fact that you kept prompting me to do a fishing web site and the name suggested by your wife “J”, WhereIFish.com, it has all jelled into a fishing forum website that is growing bigger every day.
All this, wouldn’t be happening without your encouragement and knowledge. Thanks so much, Dad
