I have been talking a lot on twitter about searchme lately…. its tough to explain in 140 characters =P. So I made a video:
I constantly get questions about how to do things and I used to end up looking on google then sending a email with links. Now I send a searchme stack.
Good stuff.

Cool. I didn’t know about this site. It looks pretty handy to quickly browse search results. I might give it a try.
No offense, but have you been gaining weight lately?
Actually, he’s been losing weight. There is a website that tracks his weight everyday. You have to ask him for the URL; it’s in private beta, invite only right now. But basically what he did is hook the scale in his home up to a feed. The goal eventually is to invite other people to the site, so the site act as a large collection of feeds that monitor people’s daily weight. It’s a very interesting concept. You just have to buy and install a device and attach it to a special scale in your home.
Hey Sucker. Would you mind telling the beginners how long it took you to earn so much money, and more importantly, that all the money is 99% not made on shoemoney.com but on other blogs or sites you own? Because the poor newbie out there is going to see your “success” on shoemoney and with no further investigation, will think a blog about money will suffice to earn like you. Hey sucker, I dare you to let my comment unmoderated. You’re just a cause of a lot of newbies financial trouble = your responsibility is to warn newbies and tell them the truth right off the bat, not letting them dream about being a super blogger with a single blog and earn millions.
Your blog header should warn people straight the first time of their life they ever land on your shitty suking blog. Your disclaimer is so hidden and uncomplete. With big powers come big responsibilities, don’t you think? Former fat bastard.
Else: I love you. <– understand the opposite you sucker.
Lol did you see my recent video about blogging monetization?
Course not cause you just come here to spout your negativity.
If you ever want to contact me to address your real beef feel free. I am easy to be found.
You responded and let my comment unmoderated. hmmm. I must admit, it’s a good point.
Now, What I know is that the first time I heard about you & your blog is when I stumbled upon that big check picture.
Like any newbies out there, I just said to myself: great! I can do it too.
You really should detail how you earn with other blogs, what amount of work it takes, etc… Instead of continualy showing your happy face enjoying the million dollar blogger lifestyle and tee shirts and events here and there etc…
Like I said before, with big power comes big responsibilities. But you already know that.
Look. Each time I come to your blog, there’s no neat clear direction on how a wannabe newbie could replicate your success. So, as time goes by, you just inspire frustration, then angryness, then jalousy, then hate and it goes worse.
So, you should think about it, get in the shoes of the people who you show those blattant success proof without giving them the real meat.
Perhaps you should read some of Dale Carnegie’s Books, and think twice about the real help you give people when they land on your “hey! I’m the shoemoney million dollar blogger! But I won’t take the time and effort to tell you exactly how I did it, you idiot newbie!” blog.
SoStillNotAFan.
heh you really should actually read or search this site. I actually give away his books and I dont make crap from blogging. Keep reading
NotAFan, you’re an Idiot.
Take a quick 5min look through this site, and you will see that Jeremy gives out TONS of free information and advice.
In fact, he is the best blogger at this, very friendly and open.
love the video blog and great info on the site! definitely worth looking into! thanks.
Dude you’re on the money on this. They got something and their good guys over there. I’ve been following them for about a few months now. Plus Randy the CEO is a very solid entrepreneur, You nailed it. Save time. Bada bing.
I’ve been using search me for a while now…it works really well when you have a well defined search such as “world of warcraft guide”…not so much when you’re looking for something more ambiguous which can bring up a wide range of results…it just takes a bit longer to sift through the crap, but definitely a useful site
that is really easy to use. That’s an example of “solving a solution” for people. This kind of website/product always have bright future. I particularly love the stack feature. If I was using google, I might end up with a couple of tabs, you know what I mean. Good Review Jeremy!
I can say that the video beat the 140 characters hehehe
That’s a cool tool. What might make it even cooler is if the pages showed up 4 at a time in a quadrant type format and one could get an instant idea of what’s there on those 4 and click one of them if it looks interesting. Sure, it’s often hard to tell if it’s that small but I wonder if I could tell enough to find what I want even faster.
Amazing tool – looking forward to seeing what all they do with it.
How did you fade the video in overtop the screencapture? Is that Camtasia Studio 6?
Yeah, that is a quicker and easier way the going through tons of sites via google.
KushMoney, realy nice and lite way)
Sounds like an awesome site, I have to give it a try
searchme zooming the content pretty good to see, loading the websites took little time , thanks for the great info
Great Video Jeremy!….thanks for sharing.
Hello! I am from Belarus. Therefore, I am sorry for my bad English.
I have been reading your project shoemoney.com via translate.google.com. Now I want to help you. … Yesterday, I learned that you have the plugin, which is a serious error. Plugin – Top Commentators Widget. Error in plugin allows any user to take a place in the list of active commentators. To do this, leave only 1 comment! To this end, the visitor must:
1. leave a comment
2. specify any name that is already in the LIST Top Commentators (eg, Tushar),
3. link to your site
Now the list of Top Commentators, under the name Tushar will be a link on someone else’s site.
Detailed, I described here – http://www.vse-ok.com/2009/03/17/bag-v-plagine-top-commentators-widget-dayot-eshhyo-odnu-lazejku-dlya-optimizatorov
thanks I will remove it until I fix this
Yeah, brilliant idea… put a banner above the fold that says, “You don’t have the slightest chance of success like I’ve achieved… but buy my products and play my game anyway.”
I get comments like the one from notafan occasionally but I don’t owe anybody a forum on my site. I re-read the comment a couple times – is there some truth to it? If the commenter is an ass, even if there is some truth to the comment I just hit – delete. Maybe I’ll blog about the issue later and see what readers think about it. Maybe not.
Much better to focus the entire site on what I want to focus it on – rather than give negative people any space on my blog. I’ve had serial jackasses comment too – they just keep right on writing nutty comments thinking they’re getting to me… one guy wrote 8 comments and over 1,500 words before he finally “got it” realizing not one word of his rants were going to be published and he disappeared.
Bloggers shouldn’t feel like they owe even the idiots something. Focus on the positive that you’re doing and forget the negatives. Let negative, disrespectful people blog to their 25 uniques a day and tell them what a bad guy you are.
But then again, controversy brings pageviews and more comments I guess if you choose to go that way!
Yeah, it’s really difficult to ramp a site up to a million page views even in a year – but I did it. Personally I know 3 others that did it. If we told everyone you can’t do it – you can’t do it – what’s the point of that?
Some CAN do it. Some ARE doing it. More WILL continue to do it in the future.
Remove left hand thumb from the abyss…, place crack pipe down with right hand. Apply all fingers to computer keyboard in rapid succession.
If no success… work harder. If still no success…. then work harder. Success is there – for anyone that’s trying and trying. Not those that are whining about where they’re not getting.
I agree I like the look of the website and that you can preview a page before clicking it. I also find it kind of hard at the same time because sometimes on Google I like to search and just go through 10 or so pages quickly an hate having to scroll through everything.
You almost made me say a curse word. That is so freakin tight. I just saw a slideshow feature like that in the Google Cash Detective video the other day, but never for like search.
This is pretty neat. Really neat. I like it a lot. lol
Sounds very nice, I am now interested in…
Hey. Thanks for sharing the information. It is going to be helpful in finding search results quickly. It is definitely worth a try.
But I think this will be not good for those people who have slow internet connection.
Even I am having good broadband speed and I am not able to see photos of website.
I would like to know how they get the photos … is there already in their server or they get fresh everytime for the new. I can understand for the old they have in there server.
Nice concept but will need time to satisfy everyone but however better than todays Google search.
Dude that thing looks awesome, why did no one come up with it sooner or at least tell me about it sooner it would have saved a whole lot of time.
Thanks for showing me it Shoe!
That’s actually a really interesting way of searching.
For me personally, it’s just as fast as google, but you also get to see what’s on the website itself aswell.
Very helpful when doing niche research etc.
Jeremy –
I think your video did a great job of making a case for using SearchMe. However, I noticed you said “80-90% of the clicks go on these sponsored results” (referring to the Google SERP).
I took that to include the organic listings as well, which put another way is to say that only 10-20% of clicks are on the organic results. This doesn’t square at all with my experience or others. How did you arrive at this conclusion?
Oh man.. I feel bad.. you actually clicked on my landing page for some CB wow guides I promote. Seriously you clicked on my website from adwords. It actually looked better before it was slapped by Google, so I changed it up a bit to get passed their slap filter.. it worked but like you said it’s not a good user experience.
I’m humbled though, I’ve followed your blog for years and you actually find one of my websites and talk about it.. in a negative way regardless. Awesome!
I’ll work on it later tonight to make it better!
Cheers!
I can’t even respond to NotAFan. Unfortunately, he hasn’t spent enough time here to know what he is talking about.
Anyhow, back to SearchMe. I’m just going to give my hoenst opinion. I didn’t really care too much for the system. This probably would have been most useful back in the day when other search engines were not offering the best results. I think Google does a fairly good job of finding relevant websites right at the top of their search results.
I think anyone who reads this website is likely to be quite familiar with searching the web. They can probably with a glance sipher through what sites might give the best results and which ones will not by the text. SearchMe is probably more tailored to those who may find it difficult to sipher through them without clicking on them.
