Biting On LinkBait

Posted February 7th, 2008 by Jeremy Schoemaker

Bannerblindness did some cool link baiting having their artist do some sketches bloggers. I’ll bite:

The picture is actually from pubcon where there is a pic of me and actress/model Melissa Angles. Which brings up another interesting topic I get questions about from a pic in my photo gallery (click for bigger image):

Which was not meant to be a picture of her chest but what I saw on her badge. Her company actually says ChooMoney.com which I think was supposed to be a combination of Chow and Shoemoney Pretty funny.

    If this (and this) is her then I can understand the missing face. Still a great photo. Good angle and lighting.

    To be fair to Shoe or any one at a trade show, I have hired models for booth duty and they always have their measurements on their call sheet. They are hired to attract people to the booth.
    As a trade show tip: The old saying goes, the prettier the girls, the more likely it is vaporware! If you see a bunch of engineers in the booth, they probably have a cool product, and spent all of their seed money on the product!

    I really do get buying the mis-spelling versins of names. But the faux combo versions are really an effort to play off the success of others, that I dont whink would work. I think John Cow worked because he has a good site, and Google slapped Chow.

    I don’t think I would eat at “McPizza Bell” but maybe it is just me.

    The words ChooMoney.com is very difficult to see on her badge. That’s not the main focus of this picture, right?

    The words choomoney.com on her badge is very difficult to see. I don’t think that was the main focus, right?

    i think that was the purpose of the post, she made him explain himself, so he made up some bs about a badge. haha great one shoe…

    a myspace site? I think I would have just left this question unanswered. maybe the forwarded domain should have been hoochiemoney.com

    Actually, I chatted w/ Melissa at the Wynn bar (she’s very nice). She bought “choomoney.com” b/c she intends to build out a site about shoes. Apparently, she has an affection for shoes by Jimmy Choo….sorry guys.

    I guess she was using her personal assets to accentuate her badge. She definitly understands design principles. It’s kind of like using arrows to direct the eye to the important message in an ad. LOL!

    I don’t know if we need to see a bigger pic of Melissa. I think there’s probably too much of her there anyway.

    I sure she wanted to use ChowMoney.com but someone already had that domain. The pic on ChowMoney is no where near as good as ChooMoney.com
