Guess My February Blog Income And Win
Tomorrow I will be posting my February blog income recap. I’m sure everyone is dying to know if I was able to beat the $3,440.66 figure I posted in January. Well, I figure I will make a game of it. I want everyone to take a guess at how much this blog made in February.
What You Are Playing For
You are playing for a custom branded wristwatch from Abit Computer. This custom-made watch, with a face done in the Abit corporate color is given only to deserving Abit employees and visiting international media. It was presented to me on my last trip to Abit’s world headquarters in Taipei. I have never worn the watch and it has been sitting in storage all this time. Now, you can win it!
The Rules Of The Game
Make a comment in this blog post with your best guess on how much you think John Chow dot Com made for February 2007. You are allowed to make only one guess and you cannot change it once you post it. Closest answer the actual income figure, without going over, wins.
This contest closes at midnight (PST) tonight. Good luck and guess away!

I start with $3,741
It seems the comments disappeared at the bottom so I am adding a reply up here at the top. My guess is:
$4271.41
hmmm, difficult one! I’ll bet my 2 cents in $4,115.20
first id like to say that i don’t want the watch if i win. id rather have a link on your homepage. if thats to much to ask then please give the prize to someone else.
my guess is $4,349.53
The winner will be linked in the recap post, which I’m sure will be read by a ton of people.
Hmmmmm, $5871.43 is my guess.
$3675.34
That’s my guess and I’m sticking too it!
$4425.21
I don’t think I could be more right.
$4785.76 is mine.
$4,950.75
$4,851.28 FTW!
*waits for Bob Barker, err, John Chow, to announce the lucky winner*
$5569.18
I’m actually holding a personal game guessing how much of it will actually go to charity…
I can tell you that right now. I am capping charities to $10,000 this year. Anything above that will go to Sally’s trust fund.
Wow, 10K! I thought I was doing well by giving to St. Jude’s and the Red Cross a couple of times a year!
In the Superman comics, Lex Luthor is pure evil, but for the average citizen of Metropolis, he was an employer and a philanthropist.
$5,270.06
3848.24
$3,642.17
$3,967.00
Its pbly arnd 3700$ . . . . .now where is my watch
and btw this one of those lesser evil contests! 
$4253.49
3645.43
$4222 !!!!!
$1
priceless
You beat me to it!
My guess is:
$4843.21
$4130.12
I think retail is a little off in January so I’ll go $3512.89
Eh. if it wasn’t much more than Jan, or less than Jan, he wouldn’t have had this contest.
$6172.80 CAD
That works out to $5,263.48US, which will be your official guess.
It has to be in US Dollars?! Oops… my guess was in CAN!
It will be converted to US
$5,290.88
$3760.00
$4644
$3925
$6,829
Let’s keep it simple and say $4000.00!
Well I’m going to take a guess at $4260.00
What the hell, let’s go with $3,956.00
Let’s try $5009.14
$5200
since feb is short 3200 $
I would guess $3500. That is the number not excluding any advertising expense. The actual number should be $3500 – advertisting Expense
$5896.62 and not a penny more!
Don’t forget that today is the last day for contributing to your RRSP for the 2006 tax year!
Since John badgered me via MSN until I entered, I guess $3320.00
If I win, I have a friend how could do with the OhMyiBod rather than a new watch though…
My guess is at $4460 – I can’t wait to see the actual figure.
$4532
4783.05
I think with the rate my post thing below the posts and that the quality of posts have dropped lately you will probably make less next month.
Are you kidding me… Come on man you’re way too close to my bid
I’ll bite…
$3552
I’ll guess $3,800.
Should be around 4,000 in a normal month, discounted by the shorter month of February.
$4624.50
I think you should give your months revenue away as the prize…just a thought…now where are those smiley faces
(that last one is you john)
I guess $3449.00
My guess is $3,916.88
$5,291.02
$4,218
$4444
$4680
4332.34
I think a couple key posts, like getting back on digg may have brought your $$ up a bit more.
5,111.01 +/- a few thousand bucks
My guess you made $4914.68
Direct Ad Sales: $500.00
Text Links Ads: $850.00
Affiliate Sales: $650.00
Google AdSense: $638.85
Vibrant IntelliTXT: $537.86
TTZ Media: $212.97
FeedBurner Ads: $150.00
ReviewMe: $1375 – if I did the math right
Oh and it would be nice if you included how much you spent on advertising as well so everybody gets a real picture about how much you can “actually” make with a blog. Advertising is a huge deal and should be brought up as well.
5175.85
I must be right! I’ll look forward to selling the watch on ebay.
I’m going to guess $3399
might as well go ahead and enter since i would probably forget to do so later tonight
$4,001
$5555.
400.01
Yeah, what did you spend on advertising ?
My guess 6783.00
I do need a new watch so thank you in advance.
I will reveal how much was spent on advertising in the recap.
I have been seeing your AdWords ads popping up all over lately…
I’m doing text-link-ads on my site now, had my first sale yesterday… How about making my second sale come in?
$4,091.15

$4,690.32
$3666.66
3824.45
$3,999.00

$6200
I’m just gonna pull a number out of thin air…
$4876.93
$4425.25, juggling with some figures I know I’m correct.
$4010 – fingers crossed!
$5,120.78
I’m just gonna pull a number out of thin air…
$ 4876.93
Probably way off…
I would like to go out on a limb and say $4,211.05.
$7,325
4500
$4780.00
Well, let’s see, lemme remind everyone about the half off review me, and valentine’s day could have increased readership.
My Guess: $6719.21
John, you’re definitely outdoing yourself this time. Nice Work!
4217.17
I’m dead sure it’s 3,721.34
$6451.72
wild guess:
$6301
$4017
This is based on 96.2% pure luck.
$4,207.39
All those review me reviews add up quick.
Cheers!
$4367.05…
Allen.H
$3999.98
$5278 is a spiffy number. As of now…
$ 5268 ,thats my guess
I am going with $4127.64
3320 $
My guess is $3,923
$4130 for me. Fascinating contest.
$ 5000
3,523.10
Yes, I do think you passed your amount.
$4,123.94
$4,027.18
$4244.88 is my guess…
Since John keep saying that he is evil, my first thought was something closer to 666, but nah, I just throw out my dice and the random number it hits were 7, 7, 3, 2, 0, 1.
, so here is my guess:
$7,732.01.
I say 3750$
$5,498.58
John – I think I’ve a better chance to win if you fill you pockets with jelly beans and I try to guess how many.
My guess for Feb – $5,617.20
and for what it’s worth I think your pockets can hold 627 jelly beans
My guess is $3697.58
My guess, $4267.67
$4400
$4900
based on traffic decline, I would say 3000
I’m going to run with the
theme and say $4666.666
3.525,25
10,000/- USD
4976.03
$4650.00 I’m guessing that your increased readership as well as the extra review me reviews boosted up the revenue. But Feb being a couple of days shorter might decrease the adsense ad revenue a bit, other wise id say over 5k. I’m sure next month will be over 5k if your not this month.
$2972.31
Just for kicks, i’ll low-ball.
$4,180
$3651
and a duck!
Yes, I am wise in the ways of science.
$4.700
$3280
$4,267
3987 dollars
$3888
$4,028
$4,169.70
$3910
$5525.73
$4254
Cheers!
I am gonna be totally crazy and say $6000. LOL
im goin with 3,525
All the time I was calculating how much ti put, it made me hate you a wee bit more…
My best guess is: US$ 5126.08
$4205.43
My guess is $39278.00
I don’t know whether to wish you good luck John (in increasing your revenues) or wish myself good luck (in winning the competition). Given the increased attraction to your blog in recent times I’m guessing you’ll beat January but not by that much. Hmmm, I guess $3897.45
$3100.00
Dot com mogul, right? A million dollars!!!
Kumiko
I asked how much this blog made, not how much I make. Not saying I make a million, of course.
$3250.00
$ 3,600 for February although I wish you more
4,100.00
5724.32!!
3265.43
$4521
$3766.30!
wow youre evil man
already capping the charity donations to 10 grand. My guess is $5089.25 so pretty much you will onlyt be donating from jan to feb. Ive begun to think that donatin to charity is just a put on and you are keeping the money for your evil self………..well done
$4567.89
my best guess would be at $4465.88
testing my luck with random number generators…$6053
$3,425.89
$2660.56
$3,801
Should be around $4,100 for a regular month discounted a little for the short February month
$3872
hmmm…
$4,259
$3800
I’ll say $4300. It has to be more than what you did last month considering your ReviewMe posts too.
$4,719.11
Hmm… interesting. Let’s see… 9 x ReviewMe reviews published so far in February + 1 that is yet to be posted = $125 x 10 = $1,250
$621.68 from TLA. So far = $1,871.68
…oh, what the heck, let’s just guess
$5,432 made in February.
$5183.02
(because you’re always adding your two cents…)
$4,888,88
My guess is 3771.42.
3,740.34
4,225.00
$3620.00
4263 dollards w00t
$3,676.84
$5374.22 sounds about right.
And the winning number is … … … . :
$ 3927,91
How b-e-a-utiful !
$4578.27
I’m going with about $4650.00.
Man there are a lot of posts…
My guess: $3888.88
My guess would be $4352.42
Hmm… $3680.68. Now, I have a one in five hundred chance to win? Mabey.
$4227.60, and that’s my final answer.
Let’s see, your growth rate has been slowing down as follows:
Oct 286% growth
Nov 55% growth
Dec 30% growth
Jan 23% growth
I will guess your growth rate is starting to stabilize, but will probably continue to slow dow a bit, so I will guess 20% growth for February:
$3,440.66 x 1.2 = $4,128.79
My guess is $4,128.79
My guess is $4,231.65
$4214.36
I guess somewhere around $4844.31
$5385.10
I guess with all that last minute income its arround $5500 ???????????
I’m going to guess $4380.
I’m going to go with $5784.16. The 16 cents are of vital importance of course
Best of luck, I hope you beat that.

Deal or No Deal!
