Today I am headed to Las Vegas again where on Monday I will be speaking at the DMA conference on a blog monetization panel with well respected SEO Stephan Spencer and his aspiring 16 yr old entrepreneur daughter Chloe Spencer. Chloe is making a killing with her Neopets Fanatics blog and I am sure will do a great job talking about her experiences making money with her neopets blog.
This also marks the last conference I will be attending of the year. After I made a post about how I am gone 50 days out of the year at conferences my wife actually did a talley and it turns out as of right now I have been gone exactly 79 days in 2008. That’s pretty crazy considering I also took 3 months off when we had our second child last July. Anyway I am done for the year…. Yes this means no pubcon… I know =(
Anyway I interviewed Stephan Spencer at Blogworld:

What makes him a SEO champ I have never heard of him I have won a few SEO contest and have competed in a lot of them
October 14, 2008 at 7:33 am
Today I finally watched it uninterrupted, Yay! Great interview Shoe, very informative. So does this mean you’re taking back the “SEO SUCKS” statement you once made with your t-shirt? LMAO
October 14, 2008 at 5:27 am
Thanks for helping the blogger out! I think the Neopets blog is nice, if she know more about monitizing and participate in the blogger community, she can have a greater success…
October 13, 2008 at 6:24 am
How I wish I could be there to learned from that SEO expert
October 14, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Yea that would have been great, Im sure he knows a greal deal
October 13, 2008 at 4:31 am
Great interview Shoe, just my internet connection is terrible today so I didn’t get to watch the entire video because I got irritated of the pauses in between. Will watch it again later when my connection has recovered from a hang over. Happy Monday!
October 13, 2008 at 3:53 am
I am glad a 16 year old is bringing in them kinda coins….but it does really “prick” me. Makes me feel like I been on an island with Wilson eaten crab for a few years…a cast away…..I need a rescue ship…with alot of coins…
October 13, 2008 at 2:36 am
Great interview!
Really love your site and looks like we might have to make the trip across to the states for some of these blogging conferences, and see what we can do about getting them rolling here in Australia.
Keep up the good work.

Ah, to be 16 again…
October 13, 2008 at 1:01 am
We just need to get J and the kids speaking at the conferences.
October 13, 2008 at 12:08 am
Neopets, 800$ a month? Man… hehe
October 12, 2008 at 11:36 pm
hi ,thanks for this beneficial information.
October 12, 2008 at 11:35 pm
I like your job very much. Work + enjoyment = Job.
October 12, 2008 at 10:47 pm
wow, being only 17 myself they are both very inspiring.
October 12, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Jeremy,
an you give us the lowdown on what you are using to produce your videos in terms of equipment and software? Quality is much better than before. Are you using any lighting, etc. Might be worthy of a whole post.
thx
October 12, 2008 at 9:30 pm
I have never heard of this Stephan Spencer dude before. Thank you for pointing him out to me Jeremy.
October 12, 2008 at 9:25 pm
good site
nice to know a small girl earning $$$
October 12, 2008 at 8:56 pm
nice
October 12, 2008 at 7:32 pm
I really need to get on this affiliate marketing thing… I’ve just been doing so much research that I haven’t gotten the time, now I need to make time. Great post seeing that a young person is doing great things!
October 12, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Stephan is really big on Title Tags and has a plugin for that.
October 12, 2008 at 5:09 pm
the interview is not showing up for me.. Its a shame I really want to hear this interview! Time to clear some cookies…
October 12, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Nice interview
October 12, 2008 at 4:08 pm
So a person works for shoemoney and is now a seo champion? Thats ironic since I declined a interview when Shoemoney asked me.

Give it a week and he will out rank you for your “NAME”
October 12, 2008 at 3:34 pm
I used to think I could push my kids into becoming a lawyer or a plastic surgeon. Forget that – blog for money – awesome story. Damn I wish I was younger and could start my career at that age.
October 13, 2008 at 6:43 am
The experience that we recruit, gives us an opportunity to look at the past differently. We want to commit acts better and wiser.
October 12, 2008 at 3:15 pm
All i have to say is wow i cannot wait to see the video of the panel.
October 12, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Nice. Good work.
October 12, 2008 at 1:53 pm
So the Neopets site doesn’t get updated very often, yet still gets $800/mth via Adsense. Nice.
October 12, 2008 at 5:28 pm
neopets niche must be a high paying one. From what I can see, she only has one 300×250 adsense block per page and the links in the menu.
October 12, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Yea she must be getting a lot of money per click, that is great
October 12, 2008 at 11:25 pm
I just noticed that too. She could definitely be earning more if she added Vibrant Media in-text ads and Tribal Fusion ads in there too. Just sticking to one network won’t earn you a lot of money. You have to experiment around and see what works best.
October 14, 2008 at 7:45 am
Reliable partner better than two unreliable partners -))
October 12, 2008 at 8:39 pm
But she has a great SEO advisor in-house.
October 12, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Nice interview…..
Shoe….Your dedication is inspiring me and I think that I better start planning to attend some conferences this next year… I’m getting anxious to meet all these people that I’ve been talking to (and reading about) online.
October 14, 2008 at 7:33 am
It’s def a good idea, the contacts you’ll make will be priceless
October 12, 2008 at 12:34 pm
useful interview.
October 12, 2008 at 11:47 am
Have seen Stephan 3 times now. Always take notes in his session and now tape them, because he goes so quickly! First time I saw him at an AMA meeting, he talked about his daughter and her blog. Very inspiring!
October 12, 2008 at 11:21 am
Well, nice interview. I’d like to participate in these conferences too, it’s a great place to meet new people.
October 12, 2008 at 5:24 pm
what stops you ? If you’re in the US, it’s even easier to attend thanks to the high number of them
October 12, 2008 at 9:54 pm
What stops me is often the HIGH prices to get in and if you have to fly..forget it.
October 14, 2008 at 6:05 pm
yea that is a good reason not to go, the prices can get pretty high
October 12, 2008 at 10:39 am
Just goes to show you that if a 16 year old can do it, so can you. You just have to work hard, be patient, and market the hell out of it.
October 12, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Yea I agree this shows us that with hard work anything can be done
October 12, 2008 at 5:22 pm
but it’s so hard to stay focused when you see no results or very little results.
October 12, 2008 at 11:23 pm
You gotta look at the Million Dollar Homepage for inspiration! That guy just came up with a very unique idea and made a lot of money.
October 12, 2008 at 10:22 am
Great Interview
October 12, 2008 at 10:13 am
I just can’t do so many videos
October 12, 2008 at 10:01 am
Great and informative interview.
October 12, 2008 at 9:00 am
80 days per year ? Man, that’s crazy…
October 12, 2008 at 7:16 pm
yea 80 days is insane considering there’s still 2 month left of the year
October 12, 2008 at 8:52 am
This is a great interview, but the link isn’t to her blog its to DMA
October 12, 2008 at 10:21 am
It’s probably some SEO tactic that Shoemoney is using.
October 12, 2008 at 8:49 am
Good interview Jeremy – thanks for the links. Looks like they lead to some pretty good info! Gonna have to check that out later.
October 12, 2008 at 8:12 am
I thought seo sucks?
October 12, 2008 at 9:52 pm
LMAO….Yeah so did I??!!
October 12, 2008 at 8:07 am
But Jeremy, I thought the SEO Champion was…well, never mind :.)
October 12, 2008 at 7:37 am
I appreciate when you and the other “big time” bloggers share so much about the conferences. Many of us cannot even attend one (though it is an aspiration). From I think blogworld posts (video posts BTW) I learned about voxant and picapp, two services I am now using on sites. Without the insights my MMO knowledge would be lacking and I probably would not yet even know about these services.
One aside about your speaking, do you have a post(s) about your speaking at conferences? What was your first, how did it grow? How many invitations vs. how many accepted? And the best of course, how much do you get paid? More about public speaking in the Shoemoney business model, please.
October 12, 2008 at 10:30 am
I’d be interested in knowing this too. I hope Jeremy can share this with us. He will definitely need to make a couple blog posts on this though!
October 13, 2008 at 6:28 am
I think this is really interesting issue, which will be its readers. I am also pleased to read about it.
October 12, 2008 at 7:36 am
It’s a good interview!
October 14, 2008 at 7:32 am
Definitely, great advice about going to conferences..
October 12, 2008 at 7:33 am
I’m probably the only one who clicked the Neopet Fanatic link, but it leads to the DMA site!
Mark
October 12, 2008 at 8:48 am
Nope, not the only one – I ended up at the DMA site as well!
October 12, 2008 at 8:52 am
Yea same with me
October 14, 2008 at 7:30 am
yup, me too. <>
October 12, 2008 at 9:04 am
now the DMA website is going to rank 1st for “Neopets Fanatics blog” keyword
October 12, 2008 at 9:49 am
I doubt it, NeopetsFanatics.com will remain at rank 1. But if you check on Google you will notice that Shoemoney is rank 10 for “Neopets Fanatics” and rank 12 for “Neopets Fanatics Blog”.
October 12, 2008 at 11:51 am
it is fixed now.
October 12, 2008 at 5:20 pm
it’s on fourth place now…haha…no wonder if he will take the first place
October 12, 2008 at 7:28 am
Nice job with the interview. Wow, Neopets! My sister used to do that too and I thought it was a very pointless thing to do. I never understood why people used to do that “virtual pet” thing. It looked like a big waste of time to me.
October 14, 2008 at 8:20 am
3 feet from gold man, and you walked away!!!
October 12, 2008 at 7:25 am
It would have been nice with seo sucks shirt…..Naaahhh……
Nice interview maybe more on their proxy services…
October 12, 2008 at 5:18 pm
cooler than that it would have been if Stephan Spencer would have worn that shirt
October 12, 2008 at 7:15 am
Great Interview Jeremy. I want you to do them again and again.
October 13, 2008 at 4:15 am
You have to wait till next year. Quota for this year is complete
October 12, 2008 at 7:07 am
Now you can have goals… 80+ days at conferences in 2009
October 12, 2008 at 9:55 pm
I think Show has probably all ready beat that number in 2008!
October 14, 2008 at 7:31 am
That’s too much time away man, seriously, it’s like a pro conference tour..
October 12, 2008 at 7:04 am
That’s a great interview with Spencer and thanks for the NeoPet’s link, I’ve been telling my wife that she should be running something similar for her obsessions lately.
October 13, 2008 at 6:22 am
Excellent interview. I see a lot of high-quality video on the site and enjoy watching them.
October 12, 2008 at 6:51 am
Shoe how many video did you make this year more than 50 or 79 videos.
You can make a nice dvd for all your readers and don’t forget shipping my to France.
Thanks
October 14, 2008 at 6:00 am
Yup I agree. And not forgetting shipping mine to South Africa. Lol!
October 12, 2008 at 6:47 am
Hi Shoe,
You should moving to Las Vegas(location, location bbc show)
I can’ believed that “I have been gone exactly 79 days in 2008″
When did you find time to make money online?
How many people working for you to keep you away from your office?
Thanks
