The following is a paid review of ShoeMoney Blog.

I have been reading Shoemoney blog since about Dec 2005 when I REALLY got interested in webmastering and coding and making money online. I like the blog so much that it made my round of cuts from my reading list. The post that made me put him in my rotation initially was Matt Cutts memo to Shoemoney - ‘I cant be bribed’, strange post to get hooked you say?

Hey, we try to keep folks in webspam from accepting gifts, so it’s only fair that I do my best to uphold that. I appreciate the thought though!

Matt

Well a lot of people in the blogoshpere would have flamed Matt, sure they would have sent a nice email back saying that they like his blog, but they would have definitely make some snide comment about how he is too good for a Shoemoney T-Shirt, or make a rebuttal of his “webspam” comment.

Shoemoney has a lot of tips, keeps you up to date on what is happening in the webmastering world and all of this without getting TOO full of himself. He will help you out with all of the information that he has in that head of his, and his story on how he got to where he is today is one of the ones that you hear all of those marketing gurus on TV tell you about. However he will NEVER tell you that it was easy, he didn’t sit at home and spend 15 minutes a day online, he spent hours and hours.

Shoemoney will also talk about his failures along with his sucesses. I have found that you will learn A LOT more from where people have gone wrong than where they have gone right. Most of the blogs that I deleted, after the ones that were obivously just gathering feeds, where the ones that you would swear that they were perfect. No one is perfect. The best post to describe what I am talking about is My Top 10 Worst Ideas To Make Money.

There are also a number of posts on his site that I keep bookmarked. One of them being New Adwords Quality Score Bot Aims To Nuke Arbitragers, this is a great post on how to “cloak” you affiliate links so that you aren’t going to be killed by Google. I am an old hat at this now, however I keep it bookmarked since it is easier to point someone to that post rather than typing it all out myself.

I am not sure what else I can say about ShoeMoney Blog, or about Jeremy himself other than add his blog to your reader, blogroll, or just your reading list. Love him or Hate him he knows what he is talking about (or he is very good at bull-shitting) and is worth your 10 minutes a day to read. The funny thing is that even though I am getting a bit of quidd to do this post, but I was actually planning on doing a post on why I chose to add the blogs to my list that I did. :) So go out there and add Shoemoney Feed to your list.

::EDIT::

I forgot to add that Shoemoney does have some great tools. My favorite is SERPs tool. If you read through his archive you will find some other tools, however some of them don’t exist anymore. If there is one there that you like send him a note….maybe he will revive it.
