And we're back.... As most of you know I was out of the office all of last week taking in a very much needed vacation, and unlike most of the times when I'm away I was completely unplugged from the SEM/Blog community. I didn't check a single Blog nor did I read a single newsletter, and you know what... it didn't bother me one bit. It was great!

The only downfall about being away from the office for an entire week is that I now have to play catch-up, which is to be expected. I spent most of my day yesterday attending to emails, blog feeds, and the other responsibilities that needed my attention. As it turns out I'm going to need yet another day to completely catch up.

As busy as I am, I wanted to take a quick second to give a shout-out to ShoeMoney and his new radio show "Net Income" which premiered last Tuesday. I of course was on vacation and did not have the privilege of listening to it live. I did, however, download the podcast and am actually listening to it at this very moment. It's been a great show thus far as he and special guest Patrick Gavin, co-founder of Text Link Ads, have been discussing detailed ways to monetize websites via text link ads.

Here's an excerpt that I jacked from Webmaster Radio:

"Want to learn how to turn your website into a money making machine? Jeremy Schoemaker aka ShoeMoney will take you on the fast track to understanding contextual advertising, affiliate marketing, PPC, Subscription Sales and more. Net Income will help you bolster your bottom line and meet and exceed your financial goals."

Tonight's episode will feature special guest Lee Dodd, owner of Sprint Users, and is set to be all about how to make money from forums and other social networking websites. I encourage you all to check out the show as it comes live from Webmaster Radio.fm later on today, and every Tuesday, at 5:00pm (Central Time). If by chance you can't catch it live, or if your one of my many email subscribers who will get this post tomorrow morning, be sure to download the podcast. Net Income stands to be one of the better and more educational industry-related shows out there.
