I am not entirely convinced of the article either. However, arbitrage in itself is not illegal, in fact, I would think it requires a great deal of skill, so I guess he is brilliant at it.
Shoemoney is very successful. He also is very skilled. Whatever he does or doesn´t do is ok in my book. He´s a cool dude. Instead of talking about him, everyone should read his blog, his posts and listen to his radio show. - Mike
Exactly Mike ... or better yet elbows on the desk, hands on the keyboard and quit bitching and complaining. 99% of you would give your left nut to be in Shoemoney's Shoes!!!! FORTGO - and who says no one is making good money with white-hats sites? Look around numb nuts! Your BS post for adsense blackhat sites was not an information item or a courtesy link - it was an affiliate link, so that you can get some freebies from the site, so don't start yapping and playing innocent!
I wonder if shoe was ever smartpriced. We'd all apreciate if he gives hints about current status of his adsense sites.
As a Journalist, all I can say is that the article is misleading. I do not know Shoemoney personally but I think we all can be very sure that he will never say anything stupid to jeopardize his relationship with Google. The reporter purposely tried to portrait him as a shady-guy, not because he may have something against him, simply because he wanted to make his article controversial to Shoemoney's expense. I worked with guys like that FOR YEARS.
LaCabra, Why can't you be civil when you talk to others? Maybe it's normal for you to call people whom you don't know "numb nuts"? Keep on with it than . And I did not say white hatters do not make good money. There is however a big difference in my book between good money and huge money... And once more - instead of barking at me that I posted a link that cost ONLY an email address, which after downloading the ebook could be very easily deleted, it is still puzzling me, why such a hard, and unfriendly, and un-kind treatment by people like you. Thus, I said it before and will repeat it - never again I will share a freebie in a forum, or whatever else for that matter. Take care
I told ya before, you are da king I read this link not the one in first post cuz if u want to know smth go to the person who is responsible about, and listen to what he is saying, don't listen to what the others say
Actually shoe does not claim he does not cloak... he just said it was not for mesotheliomia. He did at one time it seems, cloak his landing pages in Adwords, sending spiders to content heavy optimized pages to increase his position in PPC at a lower cost, and was serving ad heavy adsense pages to the ad clickers. This is not blackhat so to speak as it does not involve organic results cloaking. And since this is not against adwords TOS, apparently they cannot / could not shut peoples accounts down who do this.
Wake up! You never did share a freebie!!! Need I say more? Here's a little something for your troubles, available in all the WHITE HAT Google colors!!!!!
again... as posted on my blog and also above... the only thing I said to that reporter is what he actual has in quotes. Yes i said arbitrage is growing and the only way for google to stop it is to stop adwords. There is like only 3 quotes from me in that entire article. They are very short
Shoe, as a Journalist I would suggest you to stop giving these cheap reporters an interview, it can become quite a headache if you do not watch out.
