Christmas Gift from Google

written by John Chow on December 26, 2007

How one lazy bum made $176,697.50

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.

Did Google send you a Christmas gift?

Has this contest ended? If not, count me in! :mrgreen:

John,
count me in for the contest as well!

I would definitely be interested in this. I can always use a new USB drive, and the case would be handy to stick my business cards in too.

That's, um, really, er, neat. :neutral:

I didn't get anything from anyone. So, i'd like to get my hands on this....

By the way, to whom do they send these gifts ? How do they select people ?

OMG! i love it!!! pls, pls give it to me! :mrgreen:

wohoo!! I want to win too.. :D

wish me luck! goodluck to all!Eli

just wondering, why haven't you used the adsense youtube advertising in your videos yet.. you waiting on purpose or that it sucks

I just snapped a Jumpdrive in half... so I'd love to win this wallet/flash drive :)

I think I should have the opportunity to win.

That's a really cool gift! I must agree, it is rather thick, but all in all, I'd love to have one of those :)

Nice present, John!

Happy and Prosperous New Year to all you greedy little monkeys, from Romania! ;)

The whole time I was watching the video I was becoming more and more envious of you because that is one cool gift. Then when you said you were giving it away, I about wet myself. Crossing fingers :!:

:smile: I would love to get a gift from the master.

I thought it was going to be stuffed full of money! Hehe.

Is it too late to get in on the contest? Pick me please :shock:

I want one! I'm way over here in Singapore!

Happy new year everyone!

Nice gift! I guess Google doesn't like me as much as you :-( I guess I don't make them enough money (yet).

I got a 2 GB thumb drive for xmas an it doesn't work ;-( This would be a nice replacement and way cooler.

Count me in!

THANKS

Hi John,

I’d love to be able to give this to a teacher at our neighborhood school. That’s where I donate my used computers.

I didn't get the google gift - so either I didn't get the minimum or someone swiped it... lol.

One of this days, they will have to send me a gift too :grin: Trust me I'm working on it. Congrats John, you deserve it. :lol:
Regards,
Saved By Jesus

Hang on, I want one of those! HEY GOOGLE! Give me one. :twisted:
What did yahoo give? And what is this for?

Well I think its going to be a while before I get a present from one of
these ad campaign sites. Just started blogging a month back. But yeah count me in.

Nice, Pick me! :twisted:

I didn't get anything from google :(

I would love to win that :smile:

Enter me please. :smile: Happy Holidays Everyone!

Thats awesome, count me in ;)

Seems like Google sent out quite a few different gifts this year. But most people think it all is on the cheap side ....

Wow, John. Is this a record? 281 comments on this posts as of my comment. Nicely done. Maybe it's the use of video?

Enter Me! Happy Holidays to everyone!

Everybody can have the box, the business card holder and the google christmas card. But send me the flash drive and you can win a review on my site !!!

That's awesome John, something to look forward to next Christmas! And yes I would love to win it from ya John! Thx!

Last year I got a Google blanket but this year I got nothing. Guess I need to start spending more money with them again! I'd love to win your Google gift John!

I'm so loving that flash drive- but that's probably because I like normal things done in unique ways. Seriously, if it was just a normal drive with Google printed on it, it wouldn't be half as cool. Nice business card holder too. :cool:

I didn't get a present from google this year, but I just started out blogging... so that's no big suprise lol. Wow a 2GB? That's come in handy! Especially where I'm just starting out! Ah, anyway... congrats to whoever wins it! :) I don't ever win anything, so I'm going ahead and congratulating the lucky person! :)

No, they didn't send me anything... So I'd like to win yours ;)

Where does Google make money from you John?

Well at least you got something John, nice work and I hope you and your family had a great holiday season.

I received one too! I gaved it to my brother since I can't really use it... It's worth $14.95 :)))

And imagine that I've spend around $0.5M with adwords this year... google is very generous isn't it? But hey it's a free gift Thanks google!

I'll take it. Why not I can use it.

Nope, I didn't get anything from Google - I guess I'll have to spend more on AdWords and/or earn more through AdSense ;)

But it's a cool gift - very nice of you to give it away :)

I am IN

I love the box

Nice of you to give back to the readers John!

Wait, you said the little connector will snap off the rest of the card, does that mean all the flash space is stored on that tiny piece? Or did I misunderstanding something...

Oh my! what a cool gift from google! you've been an inspiration to me John. I have started a site and hope I could be like you one day. You can see my webiste if you click on my name. One more thing, I am gonna receive my first adsense payment the end of this month! woo! It would be nice if I get that google gift too...hehe..you know what I'm talking about. ciao

Well... I would like to receive the present from Google, but... Until now I'm one big looser LOL... No spends there, no big earnings either (because if there are some big earnings I would be' call myself a looser ;). All my hope is for next year. I hope that i can finally be more professional and smarter in this big blogging community:)

Wow, nicey gift :D

Happy Holidays! You guyz are great with Adsense

Pretty cool. Are there different gifts for different earnings brackets?
