Christmas Gift from Google
written by John Chow
Even though I’m on Google’s naughty list, they were still nice enough to send me a Christmas gift. I guess they realized that no matter how evil I am, I still make them a lot of money and I’m sure they would hate to see that business go to Yahoo.
You can see what Google sent me in the video below. I have to admit, this year’s present is much better than last year’s gift. I don’t even know where that thing is anymore.

Yep, got that from Google too. I still liked Yahoo’s present better this year!
Yahoo gave a present?
What was it?
It’s a cool keyboard. I wonder who would they hire to come up with all these Christmas ideas?
well..
My girlfriend is actually looking for a business card holder. I would love to have that as a present
I would like to win the Google Business Card holder. Please pick me to win!
I’m up for it, if you can send to the UK.
Thanks John.
What are the earning’s required for a gift from google? Anyone care to give an estimate?
Not too much, I got the gift this year and earned/spent mid range 5 figures with Adsense/Adwords.
I got no gift, i guess sending the item to me is expensive after all.
Well if you are making money to them they will most likely want to send you a gift.
I didn’t get anything this year after pulling in $4,000 with Adsense, but last year, I got the digital photo frame after pulling in $15,000+, so I imagine the minimum is between $4,000 and $15,000.
I heard its $10,000
Count me in! thanks!
I want it please!!!! thanks!
I want it please!!! thank you John
haha nice nice nice shoemoney shirt!
when’s the moneyreign shirt going to get some airtime?
That’s a pretty sweet gift. The box looked so cheap at first, that I thought all they sent you was a bunch of corrugated cardboard glued together. Awesome.
I wanna win that!
Can always use more crap for my wallet.
Interesting video… All I want from google is my check soon!
Google sort of sent me a Christmas gift. My Adsense check and CJ check both arrived today. That’s the first time ever on the same day. It’s not at your level John, but they were for over $2,000 combined.
Heck, I’d take that!
Oh, count me in on the giveaway John!
Google is still holding my money - I have yet to reach their initial threshold to cut a check (well, paypal me).
Talk about having your cake and eating it too!

No, I didn’t get any thing from Google, but I would like to. I’m in!
Thanks John.
Cool gift! Enter me in the draw please!
Haha. I like how you say “just bite this piece off put it on my wallet… and throw this big thing away” when talking about the card. Throw away a gift???
But yeah, I like how they have a hidden flash drive in that card. If I had that, I would keep the whole thing.
reply now…
Wee! Count me in on the Google flash drive!
I wouldn’t mind having that! Count me in.
I am really kind of jealous. I use google.com and they didn’t send me a christmas present. Then again, I only started two months ago and I have only made $12 to date. I am so poor. I am going to rename my site to destituteblogger.com. It is a good thing that I still have my job. I wouldn’t be able to eat until seven months later. It is going to take me forever to reach $100. Well I am starting with clickbank and commission junction. Maybe times will get better. Movie Blog I also just learned this link thing. Hooray for me. Sorry, John now I’m playing at least this post is pretty far down the list. I think I am going to be comment thrity five.
Oh you lucky Chow.
Google never sends me presents… Count me in on the “lottery”
Another competition?! Nice!
Count me in. Thanks John!
wow, that is really cool. My goal is to be on their gift list for next christmas!!!

Hi John, seasons greetings from the UK!
I’ll jump in the contest for this… nice shoemoney shirt John!
Holy @$%#, how did you do that christmas present thing. Where it link to the macaroni grill John, write your next post on how you did that please. and my link actually works. Two amazing feats. John I hope I don’t seem like an idiot but I am impressed.
I am in.
Did I win?
Looks like a much better gift than last year. I wouldn’t mind winning it.
