John Chow Vs. Shoemoney Winner

Congrats to Shoemoney for winning the RSS competition. I had the lead right up until the last day. Then amazingly, Shoe managed to add 4,403 readers today to take the win. The final RSS count is 13,276 for me and 18,003 for Shoemoney. I gain 4,691 new RSS reader while Shoe gain 7,170 (with 4,403 coming in on the last day).

I want to thank everyone who subscribed to my RSS feed. This competition was a lot of fun. The entire point of this competition was to increase both our RSS readership and in that regard, Shoe and I are big winners. I will be drawing the rest of the RSS prizes later today and tomorrow. I will also be doing a recap on the methods I used to increase my RSS by over 4,600 readers. I’m sure Shoe will be handing out some advices as well.

Did Shoemoney Cheat?

I’ve been bombarded with tons of IM pages asking if Shoemoney cheated or game FeedBurner. He managed to gain more readers in one day than he did the entire month. I will leave it up to you to decide if there was any underhandedness going on. I will only say that Shoe is a lot more evil than I gave him credit for. :twisted:

I think you definitely got out-eviled on this one John!
Anyone have a clue how he got 4k in one day yet? I noticed his count has dropped off a lot since the end of the contest (yours has too but not so much)...

Looks like we jumped the gun on the other post.

Leading by 2k+ readers is a lot already, 4k readers on the last day - MAN! Maybe there's a sudden thought on readers just to read Shoemoney's feeds.

Anyway congratulations to Shoemoney, as for John - well you did great too! I can't get my RSS subscribes to even 1% of yours yet. :D

Very immprissive RSS subscribed on one day :mrgreen:

Hey John, any news about the Agloco fiasco?

Are you and Shoemoney friends?

People shomoney have post about MACRO RECORDING to open "million" of accounts on facebook to drive traffic from their ads system. So how much harder is to do that with this RSS competition?

Congratulations to both of you! 4 or 7 k RSS readers mean a lot and to be gathered in only 1 month means even more.

Although you have lost, I will still be back commenting here. The main objective is of course not on the losing and winning but I guess it has been a great thing to keep an eye on the competition.

wow. I have more respect for shoe now.

Omg look at shoemoney's readers, evil, evil evil... :evil:

damn john!!!!!!!! i dont think hes better than you........even if competetion's over, you should try and maintain more subscribers than him to take revenge.......

ahh wtf is up with 4k on the last day, smells fishy :)

In any case, we still love your blog John! You're right that the true winners of this contest is still both of you... in any case, you still gave him a run for his money ;)

I know chow was banned from google a while ago. It's been what 5 months now? What trick did shoe pull?

Congrats for the dramatic increase of your rss subscribers. Both of you really win big!

Congrats shoemoney !!
Now the contest results are out, so no point discussing how one won and the other one lost. It's better to get started to prepare for another contest to win.

You have to remember John; Shoemoney is listed in google - he has the search engines backing him up.

Well, that can be BiatCh, as I recently just got kicked out of the serps as well, but I was not even :evil:

Shoe sure got you hard JC on the ambush. I still cant believe he done a very good job hiding his number. Great RSS war indeed

Did you even check to see if shoe's current counter is actually his? ;)

He is at twenty one thousand at the moment.

John, time to get the shoe out of your a$$.
You better stick to blog about those dead rat meals you eat and let the pros blog about making money.

Hope you get kicked in the butt by the mighty feedburner/google too.

Not brave enough to post your name? :razz:

you have no idea how much this post made my day. I love it! :mrgreen:

LOL! Hahaha. This is surprising. And leaving the name blank.. I guess you just can't please everybody. haha :twisted:

Anyway. I really thought you were gonna win this John. 4k rss readers in a day is like FTW. It really sounds fishy.haha

Congratulations nonetheless to both of you John. Hey by the way, where's the link you said the losing blog was gonna post? Just wondering what it looks like. :mrgreen:

john chow you got knocked the f@%k ooooout

As my beloved Oakland Raiders slogan goes "Just win Baby"

I signed up for both services yesterday because you both are really good at what you do. That said I find it terribly difficult to understand how Show added so many. Is this a temporary inflated number? BUT, as I said earlier Just Win Baby!!!!!!

I'm anxious to read the post Shoemoney is going to have on how he was able to do that! It kinda blows my post about the competition out of the water though.

It wins hundreds of RSS subscribers and backlinks. The same for the runner up.

I congratulate you both. It was exciting to follow the competition :smile:

Don't play with the big boys hahah, yeah well shoemoney winning was expected, I mean he would never settle with a last place, that's just not him.

So that Shoe obviously had a rabbit in his pocket... 4000 readers in one day, quiet impressing. Btw, you said you know how to get 4000 rss readers in one day, why you have not used that tip till now John?

Because they wouldn't be real readers. It was a bit too evil to do.

John read his thread with Macro recording for facebook ads, that will show you how evil shoemoney did it! :razz:

I think you shouldn't waste your time writing a method on how you achieved that many RSS readers, obviously it was a money game, whoever gave out more prizes got more RSS readers. So basically more $$$ means more RSS. Cash rules everything.

Hi John

Have you been banned by Google?
If not,Google must really hate you man!
I was just now at Google and searched first for "john chow" and guess what your site didn't appear in the first in the first 60 ! results and I don't know if it did appear at all because after the first 60 sites I got tired.
So I wrote johnchow.com and....guess what happened again!
No johnchow.com!
Nothing man!

I thought that you wanted to know about it.

P.S. By the way did you know that there is a site called JohnCow.com?
And it appeared in the first results when I searched for your name!

dude where you have been? That is what John is famous for, being black listed by google. And yes, John cow filled the gap a long time ago which explains his traffic. Just wait kids... it will get better :)

you must be new around here :?:

I guess not around here, he may be new to the blogosphere as well. Welcome to the blogosphere dude! :mrgreen:

Guys it's fucking LINKBAITH on work, johnchow and shoemoney are ONE BIG EVIL PAIR! Just imagine how much links will gain their new "game"!

Hahahah! You've been out-eviled!

Congratulations to both of you!

Now, what's the plan for Halloween???

Hmmn, seems a little strange I must say. He showed initiative either way anyways :)

This was the case of the Hair and the Tortoise race. John was off the blocks quicker and was ahead 99% of the time. Shoe took his time, but switched gears in the last minute.

hehehe, shoe is a smart one
