I frequent all the usual forums in the SEO, PPC, and affiliate marketing community and often browse through the websites and domain names that are for sale. The level of junk that is for sale makes me think of a good point. The point is, do you really think someone would be selling a homerun? No, they are not selling a homerun. They are selling junk. This seems to be especially true of the $x,xxx and under domains and websites. If some of the crap names people think are worth thousands are really worth that, then I am sitting on a gold mine. maybe one day I will find that hidden gem for sale and cheap. That is enough reason to keep looking through the ads.

I am sitting here this fine Saturday morning enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee and going through my site stats when I notice an interesting keyword someone used to find my site. I thought about it for a moment then remembered a post I had made and used the particular phrase. My next move was to hop over to shoemoney.com and use his handy SERP tool to check my position for the phrase. To my astonishment, www.jasonpoteet.com ranks number 4 on MSN for “monkey throwing shit” (probably number 1 after this post). I think I’ll call mom today. I bet she would be proud.

Shoemoney is part of a new evolution of the webmaster conferences. You can find more info at Elite Retreat. Basically what it boils down to is about 30 webmasters will get to sit down for a 2 day classroom type discussion with well known webmasters including Jeremy Schoemaker and Aaron Wall. Everyone knows who Shoemoney is and Aaron Wall wrote the book on SEO (No, really he did. I bought a copy a few weeks ago and am halfway through it. Great book You can find it at SEO Book).  The event should be an awesome experience for webmasters in the SEO, SEM, Arbitrage, and PPC business.  I record Shoemoney’s Net Income show on webmasterradio.fm and listen to it in the car going to work, so I know how open and helpful he is too all of us who are starting out in this business.  Head over and check it out, it sounds like a blast.
