I love the graphic image.
That might be your view, but people mention you, Zac etc. as the super affiliates on the web Jeremy
Lets see how big your check would be this year!
Google is in absolute denial about SEO, laughably so. Good prediction, look forward to more.
But not a Shoe, isn’t he?
Thanks, i am still wondering how it was working, why they didn’t start to simply sell positions, a sort of premium edition of AdWords, huh?
what is your next prediction? I found this picture and think it says it all
http://searchfeature.com/blog/google-officially-says-no-to-seo-in-fear-of-christmas-rumble/
Any recommendations?
The guy from 600 years ago who allegedly predicted many important world events.
Nostradamus is a fraud.
But Shoe why don’t you crank up the prediction machine for something really useful. Memphis or Kansas tonight?
This is the first time that I’ve ever heard of doubleclick.
They want to earn earn not make us earn only!
Because that’s only one part of their business.
I’d have to agree with that. I’ve wasted a lot of money on Adwords. It would be nice if they were a little easier on the landing page guidelines.
Don’t DO evil, you mean.
Google is always buying or selling something. Why don’t they focus more on their ad programs to help users make more money…
Nice prediction! I didn’t thinking Google was capable of selling, as I only hear of them buying, buying, buying, and buying, anything and everything on the net that has value to them.

good to know…
Yea, they make it sound easy, but there is so much they don’t tell you it’s pathetic.
DoubleClick’s core business is Adserving, not advertising. It’s the technology that makes displaying ads on sites possible.
SEO and Search engines are like Cats and Mouse and LEave Tom and Jerry out they don’t stay together.

This news proves that Google is living up to its motto: Don’t be evil.
Going into search business appears evil to webmasters.
They should do that.
Google opposes SEO and so that would contradict that. So in fear of that, they might be selling it.
Good prediction, shoestradamus!
Something that pays awesome and is easy to earn
Are you a double click publisher? I contacted them twice…but no reply!
Who is that?
Good prediction, shoestradamus! You can earn money on such predictions.
Hi – just wanted to say good blog.
As I understand it DoubleClick’s core business is advertising. The SEO services part was secondary. Google as they’ve done in the past have paid for the whole business in order to secure one part of it, so you’re right, to them the perceived value of the advertising network was worth it.
Good call! I love the graphic.
Google needs to wake up and get their shit together… cuz their stock is gonna tank. Adsense revenues are way down and many people are jumping the adsense ship…. perhaps because they treat us like garbage…. and pay us slave labor wages. Sell your GOOG while you can if you got any.
I’d rather just have all the best keywords to advertise on Google for ringtones. I’m sure Shoe knows those.
How do you define a super affiliate?
You and everyone else.
The second they made the move to begin purchasing DoubleClick, anyone who understands what DoubleClick and Performics does realized they would need to sell it off. Biggest rumor I hear is Linkshare is looking at it. i think OpenX should look at it too, since Google is going to kill them with Ad manager and they need to leverage against it.
So thats your secret… you can see the future! No wonder you make a killing online
Good prediction, shoestradamus!

Good prediction, shoestradamus. You can earn money on such predictions.
This news made a LOT of people happy today.
I never really was into posting checks….. I mean the only one here is from like 4 years old. 2006 was the last good year for nextpimp its been declining since. 2007 we fully focused on AuctionAds and in 2008 we are focused on fighters.com and other properties.
Btw I am not a super affiliate
Google says everything you need to know about SEO can be read in their faqs and help files so just get rid of this parasite-division.
decision of buying DoubleClick has already created lots of discussion…. looks like wrong deal in Google acquisition history
I see. So basically the business itself – even though they don’t want a part in it. Has a conceived value higher than the sum of its assets… correct?
great prediction shoestradamus!
it means you know the industry well, or you do have genuine fortune telling abilities! lol
Why don’t you post pictures of your checks anymore..I noticed nextpimp.com is dropping big time on alexa, what are you doing these days to be a super affiliate?
interesting pic.
It is a conflict, but will this be an improvement?
haha great graphic work also !
good point !
Good call Shoe…that’s why i keep coming back.. to get the news before it happens.
There are much wrong when search engine company occupy oneself with search marketing, therefore such step looks pretty right.
I imagine as a search company they don’t want anything to do with the SEO industry. Well outside of Matt Cutts blog anyway. Selling severs the link, burying doesn’t.
I’m not familiar with doubleclick!
What does it do?
Interesting . . . good prediction though shoe
trusted, i’ll wait for your next prediction.
great prediction
Great prediction!.Would u predict some more things to happen this week or near by.
I never knew he made predictions. MAybe I didn’t read it lol. However it is awesome when predictions come true.
It is a good move according to me!
I second that.
Shoe, insiders at Google & Performics have been talking about the high likelyhood of a selloff of that division ever since Google announced they were buying Doubleclick…
Shoe,
Will you tell me the winning lotto numbers … LOL
Darin
yep. get rid of it
What , are you like a genius or something? I just got the email an hour ago.
dude can you stay some what on topic, and stop stroking your ego so much, it gets old. great post with fighters (humble) than this crap. No wonder the wickedfire people can’t stand you.
I’m not familiar with the dynamics of it, but why sell it if there is a conflict of interest? Why not just bury it and leverage the assets
I am not surprised because I agreed with your predictions when you made it.
Great prediction. I think that it is a great move.
now all they have to worry about is how much hand shaking gets done with the buyer…
conflict of interest, pure and simple.
Sounds like a sensible move. Takes care of some of the conflict of interest.
Nostradamus is your guru?
whew? why are they selling it?
