Gifts From The Mad Cow
written by John Chow
I have to admit it, that cow is one sneaky animal. He knew that if he were to sent me a gift, I wouldn’t blog about it. So what does he do? He gets in via the back door by sending my daughter some birthday presents. He didn’t sent any normal gifts either. No, that grass eating mooer sent two I Love John Cow baby shirts and a bib!
My wife thought they were awesome and made sure Sally wore it for today’s Dot Com Pho. Everyone at Pho gave the cow props for coming up with the evil marketing idea.
The cow’s Million Euro Wiki is doing pretty good too. It has sold 53 pages so far and will be rewarding another iPod Touch to a page owner (I won the first one).
I noticed that my wiki page is the second most popular page after the main page. So far the page has produced one sign up for Text Link Ads and made $25. Three more sign ups and I’ll break even. Well, I don’t even need three more since I used my own JohnChow coupon code to buy the page for $90. I am pretty sure I will be giving my iPod touch to someone who purchased a page using the JohnChow coupon code.
Anyway, thanks for the birthday gift cow! Here’s a picture of Sally wearing the bib.

When you sent me this link, I was hoping he sent over a bundle of delicious steaks and some A1 to match, but hey, this is just as cool hah
That’s actually very clever; and sally looks very cute in her John Cow gear. Good work cow!
you sneaky bastard… John Cow.. haha.
LOL! Nice gifts
Its all about the marketing….
Yes, so now we know how to get into John Chow’s head…through the love of his daughter!
I am sure john will receive tons of gifts after this post …..
Haha true that.
Nice gifts, John.
PS: Your PR just dropped!
Dropped is an understatement. My toolbar won’t even show any PR rating for him saying it’s unavailable.
Your toolbar must be out of date … it’s a PR 5.
Is that because you’re looking at the PR for this last post only?
Yeah - I am seeing the blog at PR5
thats what i see too.
Looks like a PR update might finally be on the way - people have been reporting updates from some Google IPs but now they’ve all been switched off/firewalled…
Nice gift Cow, you know how to sell yourself
She’s looking very cute John
That bib is cute on Sally…pretty cool gifts! I’ll try to meet up with you guys for pho in a couple of weeks.
That’s great! lol
Thats a one damn sneaky cow, you are right on it John. And Sally sure does look adorable on that baby moo shirt
The cow never ceases to amaze me…. pure marketing genius!
I agree
Evil marketing… nice doughter in nice dress.
Wow, the designs and thought was very cool, great job!
Well Sally looks really cute in those. I bet those evil cows could make quite a bit of milk money if they started selling those bibs.
Sally makes that bib look good!
But how did you know when her birthday was/is? Is there some evil cow stalking going on?
Nice question Paul, I don’t remember either John blogging about her Bday (maybe on the really old posts..? haven’t went that back tho).
They look really good, what printer’d you use Senor Cow?
Get a few more kids to dorn those cute outfits!
It’ll be very sweet!
The cow got in via John’s backdoor?
Too much information
haha, you dirty minded person.
Cute kid, John! Though I’m very surprised you didn’t link to http://SallyChow.com … (there, I just did so for you); never too young to start building PageRank!
Or someone could even set up http://SallyCow.com
Anymore book offer?
This Cow is not a bad “cow”…
Six sense feeling…some relation between Chow & Cow
Vey cute, i`m guessing Cows selling these from his site …. better get over there for a look.
I think cow is up to something. The euro and dollar wikis show the same reach in Alexa
I have a family photo on my girls blog of my shirts and we just marker’d a white one for her. isabellejohnson.com
Heh, that’s cute. I like how John Cow does it with humor. However, before I jump on the bandwagon with MEW, I want to know how he’s going to help the page owners. From my experience with the MDW, just because you get the JC effect, doesn’t mean visitors will necessarily visit other pages. What plans does the Cow have for deep interlinking and SEO development?
Although John Cow is sort of a copy-cat but he does it so well. If some cases, I have to say that he is better than the real John. Sorry John Chow (not John Cow),
I really don’t mind that he’s a copy cat. I have seen other copy cat sites but he does it with style so I know he knows how to market. But that only lines his pocket with money. Does he have something ingenious for the page owners after he’s taken their money?
Holy crap - that is sneaky!
your baby looks adorable. would you put some shirts on of my site if i sent them? seriously. shoot me a mail with your address.
the cow isnt sneaky at all. its all part of john and his partnership.
Your daughter so cute!
She is sooo cute! That was a clever idea. He knew you couldn’t resist if he did something nice for your babygirl.
now that’s advertising. In a few years, many kindergarten’ers will visit the site
The scenario where making friends with your competitor. Lesson learnt!
Your daughter looks very lovely! Happy Birthday!
it is just much cheaper compare to a $400 review me…haha
But is nice technique…Chow I am sure you will get more clothes LOL
has anyone set up a johncow clone site?
Cute, I mean both your daughter and the Cow’s marketing prowess!
That was some sneaky marketing from the cow..
You’ve got to admit that the clothing were pretty good looking. It was very well designed.
Try and take this in:
John Chow is not John Cow
A Cow is not a Mr. Chow
And a cow is cow
who is John Cow
but no John Chow
Michael, nice COWem
