Happenings In The Community

written by John Chow on March 13, 2007

Profit from binary options

I took quick trip around the John Chow dot Com community (918 members now) to see what members were talking about. This is something I enjoy doing a lot because it helps me discover blogs that I may not have noticed before. Here’s what a few community members are talking about.

Everybody Go To has an interesting article on gaming ReviewMe for hits to your website. How do you do that? You raise the price of your reviews to $750 so you show up at the top of the publisher listing. No one will order a review from you but they may look at your two star blog to see why you think it’s worth $750.

Speaking of ReviewMe, Net Business Blog has an article call Paid Reviews – Payment is Just an Incentive. In it, Matt discuss that your priority list when doing paid reviews should be: 1) does it fit into my niche 2) do I like the product or can I give a bad review 3) consider the payment.

Along the same line as above, I Help You Blog shows you How To Make An “Off-Topic” Paid Posting “On-Topic” And Keep Your Readers Happy.

Derrich.com is holding a Bloggers Tournament. Apparently, I am in it and I made it pass the first round. I’m up against Career Ramblings (who is offering help on your job application) in the second round. Since I don’t want to beat up on a girl, I recommend everyone vote for Jane.

Lee Dodd has a couple contests going on. Lee has kick started EarnersForum 2.0 with a $12,000 contest, including 5 full passes to Affiliate Summit East and a gaming system. Lee is also giving away one free ticket to Elite Retreat.

Mitchell Harper at HarpzOn.com shows you how to make your Windows desktop look like a Mac. Why would you want to do that? I have no idea. That’s like a guy dressing up as a girl.

Last but not least, North x East says 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. I wonder if he made that up?

I think it's because of the top commentators list that's why the community is getting bigger and bigger! maybe I shall install mine also! and be evil like john!! hahaha :twisted:

go for it carl :D
There is no doubt that this plugin increase the community, the comments, the content, and the search engine spiders love it!

The review me article was weird, no real benefit of anything...?

John has obviously chosen not to talk about my current contest as he is hoping to get a second web site review out of me!

Considering some of the current entrants he might just get that!

Mine either, even after I emailed him about it (just like he asked)...

Wonderfully members john, that really huge member list ;)

Hey John,

Long time reader...

Just wanted to say thanks for the great tips on everything.

I actually just signed up for a life insurance (canada) that will let me divert my taxes... so thanks for that big time, just saved me about 13 grand this year alone!

Cheers
A

0.002% of you will click through to my website right now.

0.01% of you will click through after reading this second sentence.

66.67% of the stats in this post are made up :)

What do you know? I just clicked through to your link. :D

89% of people love being linked to by JohnChow :-)

Thanks for the link up John!

I wonder who the 11% who don't are?

Your article got me thinking John - I think MyBlogLog will become the next MySpace in terms of comment spamming, actually I'm almost certain of it. Wont be long until someone figures out how to automate gaming the comments on MBL. I've put up a detailed opinion on my blog.

John, you just got me thinking. How long until people start gaming the MyBlogLog comments system like they do MySpace? I decided to write a post sharing my views:

MyBlogLog The New MySpace For Spammers?

I guess you are right. IF only there is a way for community leaders to filter the spammers out of the community messages. That would keep it clean/

I bet its already started, I havent seen any yet but Im expecting to very shortly, there again, you dont necessarily need to spam comments, joining thousands of communities will get you lookups :!:

Very nice of you to send your readers to vote for us on derrich's page John. Hopefully they take a detour and check us out on the way :wink:

So Jane, John is not abandoning you right? :lol:

Nope, he told us to vote for their site!

Yup, and I hope you did Saman!!!

You got my vote Jane, us "little guys" need to stick together!

Nah, I feel the love again!!! :razz:

We're going for the upset!!! Go SoCal Bloggers! hahahaha

don't look now, but I think we did... :shock: :!:

"Why would you want to do that? I have no idea. That’s like a guy dressing up as a girl." HAHAHAHA I love it! :twisted:

Mitch,

How was the traffic after being reviewed at Johnchow.com? Did I miss your post. I just click on the link but didn't see the posting about it.

Hey Aris. The traffic kicked ass - 865 uniques the day John's review went up and I have another one on Performancing.com coming up - $500 but it'll send me thousands of visitors. I love ReviewMe :mrgreen:

That's definitely some nice attention and exposure for the worth of what you are paying for. :D

Yeah, at least it's much less time consuming than what we the 'comment chaser' have to spend on this site to keep the link on top spammers list. :grin:

Is it too early to tell how many regular readers that has converted to?

I know that 100% of the people who read this post, have visited www.johnchow.com ;)

But I would say roughly 5% of the traffice www.tyleringram.com gets is from www.johnchow.com

Whew.. making statistics is hard work!

I would like to point out that spelling and grammar have been excluded in the post above.

Where did you get that number from? MBL? I know my Technorati rank keep getting higher after I learned it from Saman. :-) Ah ha, I saw it. You have posted about the Nintendo contest. Hm, I'm too young to play Nintendo. I will pass it this time.

"I’m too young to play Nintendo" Wow, I never thought I would've read that! :razz:

Aris - use Google Analytics to get these kind of numbers and alot of other ones too. If you need help, let me know.

Who is ever too young to play games? 'Liar'! :)

umm...ya...I'm with Saman on this one, too young for Nintendo??? :shock:

That will be the next plug in, a spell checker for comments ;-)

if you use Firefox, it has a built in spell checker... :wink:

Use Firefox - it has a built in spell check!

Ha!!! I won that one!!! :twisted:

But, I must say, great minds think alike!!

Don't be a softie, John. Let Jane have it!!! :twisted:

Yeah the evil meter is dropping

000[......../...]666

Bring it!! :twisted: LOL

You site is winning right now!

Yeah, I had to pay for those votes :wink:

she's good for the money!

I voted for you Jane.. does that mean the check is in the mail Jane? :wink:

Tim...hahaha, ummmmmm, don't hold your breath...but I appreciate the vote. You just got on my radar :-)

Tim,

I'm sure you'll get a lot more traffic if you sign up for MyBlogLog and download the widget. Just a piece of advice...looks like you just started? How's it coming along??
