adTech and SES Coming Up
Written on 17 October 2007 by adminAdtech and SES Chicago are soon, and I will hopefully be attending both. I plan to work my magic on all the super affiliates there as usual and draw some tips out from the pros, which then I’ll post publicly here in my blog. I haven’t blogged at all lately and I apologize, things have been crazy, I’m in the midst of discovering a major Adwords secret that will completely change the affiliate marketing industry. I’m saving that for later, but here’s a few tips I’ve learned in the past couple months that I’ve been away :
The Larry Craig Scandal
I hopped on this bandwagon the day it hit, and I’m cashing in huge on it. There’s probably still money if you want to give it a go too. What I did was make a gay porn site about Senator Larry Craig. Now this whole gay scandal on him has caused arousal in the gay community, these young school boys want to be taught by a man of the law. So I made an adult site with faked nudes and videos and placed adsense on it. My first day I hit over $10,000 in commissions. Adsense immediately banned my account and didn’t pay me, so I had to switch to adult dating affiliate programs, which ended up working just as well.
Terrets In Your Ads
This tip is pure gold. I call this Google Adwords on Terrets. In your ad title or copy, you add completely random and vulgar words. Trust me - this skyrockets CTR. People are drawn to the ad, and for some reason (which they don’t know), they want to click it. Here’s an example ad :
If that doesn’t increase your CTR by 5-10%, I don’t know what will.
Until next time,

I’m Back in Black Baby
Written on 19 September 2007 by adminSome recent happenings led this blog to being deleted, and everything being seized from me. I lost all my damn subscribers, and all my faithful followers.
To make a long story short : I spammed the shit out of some offers and the feds came after me. I didn’t want to give up my money, so me and a few of my close affiliate friends seized a retirement community and held a bunch of senior citizens hostage. It was a great plan…we went in saying we were doing community service, then found a couple computers, smashed the monitors and used the shards of glass as weapons. We held everyone hostage for probably 15 minutes before the cops came and shot us all. They took everything and I had to do hard jail time again.
When I got out I had to buy bootmoney.com back for $154,000. Chump change.
I’m back suckas.
I’m Open For Interviews
Written on 25 July 2007 by adminI have a little more time on my hands this week, so if anybody wants to interview me on their blog, I’ll consider it. Just email me your blog URL and what you want to interview me about, and I’ll get back to you.

I’m too lazy to set up jeremiah@bootmoney.com.
Use Forums and Cookies to Your Advantage
Written on 24 July 2007 by adminAlright, I’m about to tell you a secret that I’ve kept to myself for a long time and have capitalized to the max, but Bootmoney is all about giving, so give I shall. You all know how cookies work? Someone visits a page with your affiliate id, and some offers save a cookie (usually chocolate chip), so that if the user goes back to the site a later day and makes a purchase, you still get credit for it. So what you have to do is go around and make a list of forums that allow HTML (a lot don’t, but there’s ones out there that do). Become a member, and make a post in the biggest and most active section. Make the thread title “The Best Post You’ll Ever Read”. Then, in the body of the post, put a million 1×1 pixel iframes with a million different affiliate offers. That way, if anybody that views the thread then goes and randomly shops somewhere and buys something, you get commission. It’s FREE money people, capitalize huge on it.
Keep tabs on this blog, I’m going to start a little American Idol affiliate style (like they did at the summit this year), and pick out affiliate landing pages and point out what’s wrong, and how to improve the page for the best CTR and conversions. If you have a landing page that you want reviewed, send me a mail to bootmoney [at] gmail [dot] com.
BootMoney T-Shirts!!! I Need You Guys
Written on 22 July 2007 by adminAlright…so along with a new template comes new motivation. I haven’t been blogging much lately and I really need to more - and I’m going to. The one thing I want to get are BootMoney t-shirts. Then all of you guys out there can sport the name that helped you cash in on affiliate marketing. I’m going to set a little “goal” for us all. I will get BootMoney t-shirts made only if this blog hits 100 subscribers. That means if you’re not subscribed right now, hit that big ass orange button on the sidebar and do so. Blog about me and get people to subscribe. This John Cow fella already tripled me in subscribers, we need to catch up.
I’ll start posting much more of my experiences with affiliate marketing, such as today. The pricks at Yahoo Search Marketing randomly close my account and give me no reason. I call them and ask what’s up, and they tell me that they’ll contact executive services and send me an email to let me know what’s going on. It’s been about 3 hours and no email. Okay…do they frickin understand I spend like $5k a month in this account. It’s only 1 of my accounts but still, one of my campaigns is now down. Gay-sauce.
John Cow? Spoof Site
Written on 22 July 2007 by adminI just checked out a spoof site of John Chow, called John Cow. I haven’t really read much of it, just glanced around. I was instantly turned off by the sick amounts of ads on the site, I guess they’re trying to Bootmonetize it. Anyways, anybody read the blog…any good? A good spoof site is always fun to read, but the ones to really pay attention to are the super affiliate blogs (like mine) that actually give their users tips that increase their earnings almost instantly. So keep reading those spoof sites, but don’t get too distracted from your actual work.
New Theme
Written on 22 July 2007 by adminI don’t know why it took me 2 months to realize that the theme I was using looked homo, so I decided to change it. I’m still tweaking many things out, so bear with me as I finish it up (I have to shrink that effin header down and the CSS file is all jumbled together so I’m working on that now).
Give me some feedback on it though and tell me if you like it more.
I Licked Shoemoney’s Head?
Written on 20 July 2007 by adminOk I don’t know if anybody has seen this site, but its ilickedshoemoneyshead.com. I’m not even giving that sandbagger a link because that’s what he wants. This is a pathetic demonstration of link bait, and defiles the very persona of Shoemoney, as well as myself - as I am seen as Shoemoney’s industry friend. The fact that somebody would parody Shoemoney like that…makes me sick. I mean he could have at least told us that he licked Shoe’s head in order to save a starving kid in a third world country - now that would actually be defined as link bait. He also plastered his page with Adsense in a pathetic attempt to monetize the site. Sad sad sad…
The worst part about that is that the picture was Photoshopped. I zoomed in closely and take a look at what I found :
It was Photoshopped by an expert who accidentally left his tracks in a more obvious way. We can also see by the tooth sample that our subject apparently has some plaque, marked by the grey smudges on his teeth.
Most definitely a poseur. Sorry dude, you’ve been Bootmonied.
My Experience At Affiliate Summit
Written on 13 July 2007 by adminWell, Affiliate Summit East in Miami is over, and it was pretty awesome not gonna lie. I learned a lot of things, and I really want to share with you the most important points and lessons, so you can all learn from the king himself.
Lesson 1 - Google Sucks
So Google finally gets a booth somewhere, and I go over and talk to them. I thought I was polite and I didn’t try to swear, but I said to them in the nicest way possible, “hey guys…your quality score sucks dick and Google is a bunch of fags.” They Google slapped me in the face…literally. so thats the first lesson…Google slaps hurt.
Lesson 2 - Roofies Rock
Everyone loves AS for the parties, true that. Even the big guys like Shoemoney will let you buy them a drink. Just slip a roofie in there and watch the magic happen, they’ll spill everything to you. I found out some awesome new campaigns to start, and great keywords for them.
Lesson 3 - Fart Machines Rock
So Amit Mehta is giving his speech on being a super affiliate and whatnot, so I talk to a couple friends and pull a nice lil prank. We taped a fart machine under his podium, and it was awesome. Especially when it goes into the mic and you can just hear him ripping ass. I hope it didn’t harm his credibility…
Lesson 4 - Lie to Get Free Drinks
I hung out with a bunch of affiliate networks over the duration of the trip, and I don’t think I paid for anything. Just approach a network, tell them you do around 300k a month and would like to push 6 figs with this network if they can give you good offers. Ask to go out to dinner…9 out of 10 times they pay the tab. If they’re one of the cheap networks that won’t pay…just Google slap them and run away.
Lesson 5 - Homemade Amex Cards
This is one of my more clever tricks that I’m proud of. I went out and bought a thin sheet of black metal from a local hardware store. What I did was cut it out into credit card size, then shaved the American Express engraving off the top of my current card (I hope it works without it…), and then I glued that on top of the black metal. Whenever I bought a drink, I pulled out my “black Amex”, and everyone around me would come up and start talking to me, telling me hot offers, and asking to go into partnership. Bootmoney = genius.
Alright that’s enough lessons for now, but I will show you some pictures of me at the conference so you guys can see what it’s like. I couldn’t reveal who Bootmoney actually is, so I had some of my people do a little bit of makeup and costume work. So it is me in all the pictures, just touched up a little bit like they do in the movies.
Me with Shoemoney.
Me again with Shoe.
Me and Schoemaker chillin.
Another shot of me and Jeremy. Using this costume, I got the most secrets out of him.
Affiliate Summit is Underway
Written on 9 July 2007 by adminHey guys, Bootmoney here comin at you from Affiliate Summit Miami 07. It’s 9 in the morning here and I’m hungover as hell, but the conferences start today so I gotta man up, put my pimp suit on, and start networking.
I’ll post all the tips I learn here, so you guys don’t even have to pay the money. I went out with Shoemoney a couple times, and he told me a TON of things I’d consider to be secrets. I’m going to blow up the affiliate industry with this knowledge.
Anyways, last night was awesome, some party at a hotel. Free drinks all night and then the last drink I go and get, I here the guy say “12 dollars”. They roll high I guess…
I’ll post tips after the seminars.
