I Love Darren Rowse, Plus A Bunch Of Other Bloggers
For the past little while, I’ve been targeting Problogger.net with an “I Love Darren Rowse” Google ad. I also sent a few other “I love you” ads to other bloggers. You can see what those ads looks like plus how it all started here.
After running the Google ad on Problogger for two months or so, Darren finally got the message and replied with the Google ad you see on the right. Feel free to click it because it’s not an AdSense ad, it’s just an image of the Google ad Darren is running on this blog. Yes, it’s true. This is how professional bloggers talk to each other. We don’t use IM! We send the message with Google ads! 
Now I need to come up with a really good Google Ad reply to send back to Problogger. Any ideas?

How about:
“Learn How to Become a dot com Mogul like Darren Rowse at John Chow dot Com”
Will that fit?
Reply to this commentI like that, but it’s a touch wordy. Still good, I think.
Reply to this commentMy blog is better than yours. JohnChow.com
Reply to this commentI think that sounds too much like the rich jerk.
Reply to this commentYeah, you definatey need something that compliments him, yet at the same time increases the interest level.
I know you probably can’t disclose this, but I imagine the CTR on these type of ads is pretty high (as long as they’re seen). Anytime I see one of those type of ads I click it.
Reply to this commentI agree, too much like Rich Jerk, who by the way, is completely full of sh1t.
Reply to this commentIts not about being a rick jerk, Its more like linking and getting traffic from each other.There is a little show off, but its fair.Why not use the resource when you have it
Reply to this commenthahaha…I really hope you didn’t buy anything from him!!! By your reaction, it kinda sounds like you did.
Reply to this commentHow about:
“I hate Darren Rowse”
Well that is what love to the extreme could become
don’t be offended I just trying to be funny 
It could be a good catch though depends on how you address it your blog.
Hey, John I didn’t know you are advertising on Darren Rowse’s blog to get traffic. Did you substract it as a cost when you release your monthly financial report on this blog? I am just curious.
Reply to this comment‘Yes Darren, I love you, but please read my blog to get the real reason’? That should at least respond to his question ánd get some visitors back
Reply to this commentI run a blog in Brazil, in portuguese, and there’s been a serious discussion about to be or not to be a problogger going around here. My blog’s doing goog, in part thanks to yours and Darren Rowse’s tips. I take part in a yahoo group about the Brazillian blogosphere and just introduced your post to the group. I think is a nice way to link your buddys. I’ve seen your “add” at Darren’s blog so many times and kept thinking “this is clever”.
Reply to this commentKeep up the good work and good luck with your cars.
hmmm, looks like I really started something
I should get back on the bandwagon because you don’t seem to love me anymore.

Reply to this comment“I’d have sex with problogger.net if I could. But instead I will advertise for them.”
Too racy? Or am I taking the whole “Love” word to seriously..??
Reply to this commentNo I agree, a bit racy…but then again, I’m always in the minority

Reply to this commentNow that is taking creativity to another level
Reply to this commentJohn, come on, what is this?
where is the root of all evil ???
a bit dissapointing john.. to much love here
throw in some evil !!
Reply to this commentYeap, it’s becoming a very interesting advertising habit. If you look at this post you’ll see that I tried, a week before John TP post, to formalize this type of publicity. By transmitting a positive message, the ad is just becoming extremely powerful and almost viral. Very interesting.
Reply to this commentThe next Google Ad for Problogger should read:
“Helping Darren Rowse Retire One Click At A Time”
Reply to this commentFind out why I let Problogger use me to make money!
While I don’t think I got the wording exactly right, I actually mentioned this as the introduction to my review of your site, John.
