A while back, I came across a picture of Shoemoney with this check from Google Adsense for $152,000+. According to the post that Shoe wrote to accompany his picture with the check, Shoe was doing some arbitrage from different ad networks so his “take home” was probably a lot less than the face value of the check, but I digress.
I myself have received my very own check from Adsense. I was ecstatic when I got it. No, it was not for $152,000 it was for significantly less than that. A …

Today’s episode of twitter love, which by the way sounds like it should be the title for a novel, comes from a brief discussion that I had with another user.
Apparently, there’s a university out there that has a degree in online marketing:

Well, I don’t think that a degree like that is really worth the time and effort that it will take to attain it.

Do you know what the resource box is?
It’s that box at the bottom of the article …

As you may, or may not know, I’m a bum marketer.
What that means, is that I subscribe to the school of thought that marketing is so easy that even a bum could do it.  The other tenet, is that we do not pay for traffic to our sites.  All traffic comes to our offers using free methods, either SEO, social bookmarking or article marketing.

Just got off of a ustream live broadcast with Bob The Teacher. He was testing out the ustream interface and whatnot. He really didn’t have anything planned, so it was very much just what I picture a master mind session to be like. Everyone was “shooting from the hips” and just talking in general about what they do and how they do what they do.
