This months Website Magazine is starting to hit the shelves and I am receiving some pretty good feedback about the article I wrote titled “Beyond Adsense”. In the article I talk about how I started with AdSense years ago and how I evolved to other forms of advertising.

WOW great it will be a nice read. I know what you think about adsense but still lets see what it says
Read that article yesterday. It was a pretty good article… pretty insightful. Thanks for sharing Shoe.
Sounds like a great article. I need to get me a copy of this magazine. Do you think it will help me earn more money on my blog?
I read an article today. She liked me. Very detailed and clear.
Brewed a cup of joe and reading it as we speak. Its nice to have traditional reading material on the subway.
This all goes back to that famous cheque, the one featured on the right hand side of each and every page…..that one!
i heard that check was fake
From where you heard that?
I don’t think so
If it is fake, it didn’t stop you from coming to his site almost on a daily basis. I’ve thought about it…The first thing I think is weird is that…..
He blurs his actual name out on the check? So is it his real name? Or is it a fake?
really, how can this be?
It sure ain’t fake, son!
I subscribed to the magazine. When is it supposed to come out?
Even if the check was fake, their is a lot of other things to prove Jeremy’s worth online.
No check is not fake, it’s real
Looks like a great magazine but I can’t find your article. It is not in the latest articles scroll, can’t find it in the tag cloud under ppc or adsense. There is no author search and there is no title search.
I would like to read it, any ideas?

I’m definitely taking your advise on making a “wish list” instead of the “buy me a cup of coffee” donation button that a lot of people seem to be doing. Since the holidays are approaching, I think it’ll go over well.
Just click through to the site and type Shoemoney is search.
Here’s the direct link to the article.

I think the article comprises what you and Mr.Reese talked about in the interview a year ago…
Wow, you still remeber that interview?
A true follower..
um, forgive me for revealing my ignorance here, but…there’s a PAPER magazine devoted to WEB topics? is it just me, or is this completely bizarre?
Subscriptions are free and you can opt for a paper copy, digital copy, or both. If you’re curious I’d say sign up and see. It can be an interesting read.
Are you kidding? Of course there is paper magazines like this…
Not yet. Are you a time traveller from the future? Thanks for the heads-up!
I like to think of myself like that…
You just have to look around…
…..point well taken!
You have to have something to read on the plane.
This is a great article, its good to know there are alternatives to adsense
There is alternatives to everything if you think about it. Adsense is basically the king of it though. They probably offer the highest payouts then one like Adbrite. It also depends on the niche.
But adsense is king and no one is near it
adsense is a great monopoly on earning money. -)
It’s too small to read!
Here is a link, this one won’t be too small…

Squint, it works for me. They call me eagle eyes…
Pretty good basic article. The points I’ve heard before about “click and gone” and “controlling ads” are things that some may not think about when they are using adsense.
Ive been hearing all the same stuff from shoe for the past few years. It seems to be the same concepts repeated.
This article is to an outside channel, written to people who do not know who shoemoney is or have not followed shoemoney for years. Most of this audience have not heard his Adsense bit. Why would we want shoemoney to say something “new” to that audience? We would want him to give it here, on his site, his feed, or in his newsletter. Look at what money making advice he has given in the past two weeks on his site- local affiliate business, getting content from visitors, review sites w/ plugin.
Most authors do keep their new material for primary channel and give recycled material to outside channels. Serves two purposes, one, it keeps readership loyalty (loyal readers/fans know where to come for the good stuff), and two, helps polish the the out of channel material to draw in more new readers/followers. Just like a good landing page, keep crafting and polishing it to keep drawing in more readers.
Regurgitation has been proven as the best way to feed infant birdies….is this the process we are witnessing here?
baby birdies are always hungry for more :O)
That’s why in my opinion, when you put adsense up, make sure you aren’t selling anything similar on your website. Because you are directing that traffic away from your site and they might not come back. Instead you make .45 cents when you could of made $40 on that person.
I think that speaks to a different business model, not to adsense or not adsense.
If you want to be an affiliate, have content that sells the affiliate link. So you need a strong connection between content and ad. Not so much with adsense, where the content brings ppl to the site, but lets them putz around and get distracted, by adsense links preferably. wo different business models.
I wish shoe would give us his input on this subject…
I agree… The main goal for you is to make people like your content, hopefully build reputation and have them buy through your link…
Nice article. AdSense is nice income for beginners
easy ways to create money online……
Read the article a day or two ago … very nice. Would you consider expanding on it here?
A good article – it’s hard to fit many details into a single page.
I watch the video you did where you talked about adsense is great for starters but as your blog evolves you need to start bringing other forms of advertising which i though was right on the money. Thanks
Congrats on the article and getting page 6 (the first content page) is icing on the cake.
they have a sweet digital version
Wow, it should be a very interesting read. I’ll wait for the copy to be available.
I like the idea of a paper magazine for MMO. Something tangible to throw in a backpack for later, read on plane or in the can. Don’t have to worry about battery life or getting it wet. Plus, easy to have grandma to read.
I think this idea is not new. I have seen such things.

Nice read
Great idea having a paper magazine covering professional web publishers.
Great for us…
What is hilarious is I just got this in the mail yesterday and was about to throw the magazine out.. didn’t know you had an article in here and now I am reading it. Awesome!
Looks like it will be a great read as well… will have to do some digging around to see if I can find this magazine locally.
yeah..I’m glad someone took the time out to find another affiliate program besides Google adsenes. You only can make crumbs with them.
great Article Indeed
Its a nice article. Thanks for it.
is it really possable to make that much with adsence without blackhat?
Hey shoe, off topic but your myspace link on the bottom right side is broken. Take the slash out. I doubt you give a shit anyways, haha.
nice article, thanks Jeremy
I also stated with adsense , although I still have those site running
Adsense are best for novices, and then you can later advance in the greater affiliate market schemes.
At times adsense can be a more reliable income.
Started with Adsense…you mean took off with Adsense sprinting. Then there’s that fat $132K check. ; ) This is going to be a great read. Thank you.
Same old stuff.
Great article, I have just started reading on this blog and fully enjoyed this.
Regards
Steve
Shoe – how did you raise the 40k in your 2003 arbitrage effort? Family, savings, investor? I bet it is still possible to make $ with arbitrage but the risks are greater and the arbitrage formula harder to find.
Hi Shoe – I loved your article. And I agree, although Adsense is great, you put yourself in a position of no control if you rely on them. If an advertiser has an ad that sucks – you lose cash.
And the case of your friend was scary. There’s ways you can check what ads are showing in other countries – but nobody has the time to constantly check.
BTW – I like your new newsletter. It’s a 100% more informative than most of the other shit I get in my mail.
I haven’t seen much success with Adsense. I guess it works only on certain sites. I’m exploring it for now.
It works for sites getting over 10,000 uniques per day…
It all depends on the CTR and cost per click google is giving you.
I wonder how many sites can say they have 10K uniques per month? Also, how long they can or have sustained that?
definitely a nice article… but I am out of adsense – banned
But then you’re not the one writing articles there right?
Yous article was the first one that I read when I received my issue in the mail, very good read.
soooooo useful thanx as usual
This post rocks! I love Google Adsense!
Everyone start their journey with adsense but ended up with affiliate marketing

Thanks for sharing the post.
You rock!
Thanks for sharing your thought about how do you Making money by adsense shoe, really interesting but how do you drive more traffic to get that earning??
I think there are thousands of blogs dedicated to helping you solve that issue.
by good rankings
maybe using ppc like adwords…
Pretty good article. I think everyone should start with Adsense, then try other ways to generate money online. Once you try a lot of things(that work), you should know exactly what you like, and then build a business that way.
Its really cool to hear the story of your website and how you came to earn so much money. Thanks again for all the great content.
I’m up $1,000 on my 1 month old blog by using multiple affiliate options, and I’m a noob. God I love the internet, as Shoe says, “like fishing with dynamite”. I can’t wait until I get out of the sandbox and get some serious organic keyword traffic. Then I can afford one of those awesome trips I showcase.
still struck in second gear with adsense..
got to do some stuff
Looks like it will be a nice read as well…Next Newsletter
does the magazine published in Indonesia ?
I am not sure……still new
Great Post, Adsense doesnt like many of my sites so I have to use different types of advertising.
One of the best articles that I’ve read in recent memories. Keep up the excellent writings Jeremy. We’re always lurking for the best and most informative ways to excel online and you never let us down. Thanks!
I guess – you have revealed some AdSense Secrets in that article.
I Jeremy, I saw you Youtube video made by Problogger. It’s a great tip you said, “We should create content for our readers not for search engine”. Great Tip!
Great one, I really inspired with your check image
I have this issue of this magazine. great article! inspiring to see that you wrote this article from real experience and your reason to push it beyond just google adsense
Read the article… love Website Mag.
Quick read… only thing I wish was for a little personal advice on how to make at least $20-50/day from adsense
I’m squinting trying to read it from the screenshot, lol. Good stuff
Yeppers, good article. Like Brian Clark of Copyblogger has said, Adsense is blogger welfare. But, hell, I still use it.
[among other things, of course]
congrates on the article…..once again the truth stands….those who talk are hacks…but those who are published are experts
It sure ain’t fake, son!

Looks like it will be a great read as well… will have to do some digging around to see if I can find this magazine locally.
I like Website Magazine as it’s very well targeted. I don’t have a problem with other streams of revenue beyond Adsense and have my eye on a couple -thanks to Google being so fickle – but I’m good with Adsens now. It brings in some nice coin each month and is easy to work with.
I’ll check out your article shoe
Congratulations on the article. I know Adsense has changed so much over the years and I am sure it will continue to change as does everything online. Making money online requires marketers to adapt and change right along with it.
Where can i find your article? I’m new into adsense and can really use all the help and tips you may provide on it. Thanks
