Top Affiliate Challenge Suprises, Banking off Microsoft, DSW Suit, Google Trends – Shoemoney Show

by Jeremy Schoemaker on June 25, 2008 · 33 comments

Thanks to the hundreds of live viewers/chatters who joined us live in the chat room. Thanks for bearing with us as we still learn how to do live video. I increased our bandwidth at the office and the audio/video quality seems to be much better (especially the audio).

Live Video streamed by Ustream

Items discussed:

  • Top Affiliate Challenge starting this weekend!
  • Microsofts Affilaite program paying $4 per TOOLBAR install….
  • Danny speaking at SES San Jose
  • Cafe press drops all NY affiliates
  • DSW shoes sues zappos and commission junction for trademark infringement of affiliates, but it seems they did it as a publicity stunt for their new online store since they never contacted zappos or CJ prior to the suit and they sued and sent press releases within the first month of their own online store
  • Google Ad Planner
  • Twitter on the decline – tools through api reason?
  • Google trends and data.
  • Google Images – can now report the images that show up in thumbnails on the search results pages
  • Google webmaster tools api

    Shoe, Thanks for sticking with the video chat. I find it much more enjoyable than just audio.
    Any affiliate that is NOT doing toolbar installs is really missing out. It’s easy, do this, hire yourself an oversea’s programmer, build somthing useful like “twirl” or “dvdshrink” and bind the toolbar in the .exe, and that is instant money!

    “Ken McArthur is a spammer…” LOL

    He’s actually a pretty well respected marketer in the Internet Marketing World

    This is probably the problem.

    What’s the piont of doing a podcast anyways? Not much point to seeing someone’s mug when all they are doing is talking.

    Good show and caught the middle half before a meeting. I don’t use twitter as much as most but it sucks that it is always down “to many tweets happening” How frustrating is it for you and what do they say about the over load?

    4 bucks for a Microsoft toolbar install when google only pays 1 dollar? Microsoft is showing just how desperate they are.

    According to microsoft.blognewschannel.com, microsoft still pay $1 per toolbar. So when did they change the rate?

    Just close your eyes and listen, you don’t need to stare at the offending mug….

    You need specific ports open on your machine. If you are at work trying to watch through a proxy server or locked down firewall you won’t be able to. I don’t understand why they made that choice.

    It would be cool to have access to an audio feed still – useful for those of us who don’t have video ipods. Cheers!
