So you have mentioned Google Trends as being a category killer but I have sites that get over 2,000 unique visitors a day and GT does not even recognize them yet. When do you think Trends will be a stable product?
At age 24 and fresh out of college, I quit my day job as a project engineer (construction) 7 months ago to develop affiliate sites and promote exclusively through SEO. I currently have 4 sites and 2 are making money and have essentially replaced my previous work salary. I plan on developing a total of 10 sites this year. It’s still very risky since I’m essentially at the mercy of Google, Yahoo, and MSN. I haven’t hit that homerun yet, but I’m trying to getting close. What is the best way for me to sustain growth and mitigate risk?
Hey Shoe,
Which ads would you go with on a site that is getting enormous traffic via image searches, particulary from Google Images search.
Simple Google ads or affiliates related to the products that are being searched?
Cheers Storm
Do you think that more subscription based sites will dump that model and open their content up for free because of the increased revenue that can be generated from the additional page views and ad impressions of having a site fully open to the public?
Have you ever considered affiliating for casino or poker? The gambling industry is pretty lucrative and can be incredibly profitable if you get things right.
Is there still money in creating incentivized sites? Enough incentivized affiliate offers to make it worth creating a site?
1) How do you think one can be focused on one thing?…when it comes to making money online the options are just overwhelming…

jeremy, do you believe in God? Because most americans I believe do really feel that believing in God is trivial? Any thoughts to share?
Do you think you can put a little more time and effort into your responses? There have been some really good questions in the past and it seems you don’t put too much effort into answering them fully. It would probably cut down on the amount of repeat questions being asked too
As someone who has put together a few sites in your day, how would you respond to this? Should one try several niches, domains, ideas, verticals to see which one gets traction and then put more effort into that one? Or would you say that more sure success is to focus on one idea and spend the time and resources necessary to make it work?
Hi,
How much do you make per month? not only from this blog but your grand total earning ( Adsense + Affiliate + Private ad sales etc… )
Which affiliate network do you think is the “best”, meaning if you “have to” use only one, which one would it be?
Thank you.
Would you use affiliate advertising on a general site that has no specific topic? Such as a general web directory for example?
Do you use the mobile web and if so what websites do you visit?
Hello Shoe. This week i want to ask you if you do any kind of sports at this moment?

Shoemoney seems like a personal blog and get-rich-quick site.
Are you a little concerned about disclosing so much detail on your site – finances, you and your family photos, location etc., and what information wouldn’t you disclose to your Shoemoney fans.
Answer the question about shaving your head? Why do you?
