Shoemoney - Why do people read his blog?

I don't mean any sort of offence here to Shoemoney or anyone like that but for the last 2 or so weeks I have followed Shoemoney's blog.

Anyway, what I have observed is that 50 % of his posts are taken straight from TechCrunch (duplicate content), 40% are website and business reviews and promotion and about 10% are actually genuine posts, almost none of which are related to IM or stuff like that.

I realise that his marketing has got him loyal readers, but you don't have to go far to find blogs with much better content than his e.g. Balkhis )) and The Net Fool.

So my question is, why do people continually return for such poor content?

If you read Shoemoney consistently, why?

 

Hahaha nice question . I think most of the visitors are new and they read his blog because they want to know how he earned such big amount from adsense .

 

Well, I actually also wondering this. I have to admit that in the early beginnings of my online adventure I have read shoemoney's blog as well, but it was just because I was very curious HOW and HOW MUCH he made from online businesses

 

He does get a lot of return visits - I can tell cos he gets like 80 comments each post
Does he rank for any high competition terms do you guys know?

 

I am sure he probably does rank highly for some highly searched keyterms by now i would assume a lot of his traffic comes from search engines and the all famous picture of him with his Google Adsense cheque.

Apart from this he probably gets a lot of visitors through other websites and forums, actual direct traffic will probably be less than everything else.

 

IMO
the comment is paid comment paid by shoemoney to keep his blog alive.
Don't you all think so?
I figure this out coz i see there some similar way in term of style of writing but the username is different

 

Lol, could be a good point - by the trend of his Alexa rank it looks like his blog is slowly dying - then again, that's a lot of money to spend.

I am interested, what did he write about in his glory days? Was it good content?

 

i hate shoemoneys blog he is a goofball

 

He's also a mod* on DP, so I guess we know why you got banned



*I think, he's a regular contributor anyway, but that's not as funny

 

BWAHAHA... happens every time.

 

you are smart

 

Because they think he's an internet god.

 

i have seen his site been advertised on adbrite fullpage ads , so those r not real readers but just creating impressions

 

I'm not sure it's completely relevant to SM, but this is quite a good summry of some of the so called 'SEO Rockstars' - http://www.sugarrae.com/dear-seo-community-its-not-me-its-you/

 

Jeremy are here too. but i dont know how much time he visit this forum. i just found that jeremy also link to this forum too.

shoemoney look nice as google adsense icon.

anyway how about jhonchow.com ?

 

I personally wouldn't read it everyday, weekly or monthly i've only been on it once. But that's just me i would rather read about stuff that interests me.

 

I don't read his blog and do not intend to.

 

Same here.
I find his blog boring, plain and useless (Well, for me at least).

 

yes even I find his blog boring.
He is more interested in flaunting money and showing his checks instead of sharing the information on 'how he actually makes that much amount of money'.

 

Whether mainstream, or adult, most people who've "made it" are not going to hold your hand, and lead you to the promise land. Some will give you tips, and leave the rest to you. Others will intentionally NOT help you.

The Shoe throws you a bone or two now and then.
