Make Money Online

written by John Chow on June 13, 2007

Hey! We’re back with another round of Make Money Online reviews. I had the reviews paused for a bit while I decide how I want to proceed.

Seeing that I already rule the number one spot for the search term make money online, I figure now would be a good time to mix it up and go after some other money making search terms. Read the new rules after you check out this latest batch of reviews.

How To Do A Make Money Review

I’ve decided to make a little change to the rules for the Review My Blog for a free linkback promotion. From now on, a review must link to the review rules post and the blog home page using any of the following anchor text:

make money
make money online
make money at home
making money
make money from home
make money on the internet

Here’s an example of what I want.

John Chow dot Com is a blog that helps you make money. He is offering to link to your blog if you review his blog.

Other than the above requirements, you are free to say whatever you want in the review – good or bad. You are also free to link to any articles I’ve written as part of the review. The post must be a review of this blog. You can not mix it with any other posts or reviews.

This is batch 79 but I have reviews complete all the way to batch 83 so I some catching up to do. Keep sending in those reviews and I’ll keep posting them.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

The variety does provide a little more flexibility for writers -- great thinking, John.

Marc

Nice change to the rules John. Not only is it good for you, it's a lot better for the bloggers since they'll be able to write with less restriction on specific phrases. Makes it more comfortable :)

Bryan

Great way to get a good quality link. BTW, I AM the fatal1ty hat winner so the rest of you can go cry yourselves to sleep. :evil:

Haha I don't think I've ever shed a tear for losing any contests before, but I give you props for putting us losers down. :twisted: Congrats again, Bryan!

Madonna

Great contest idea! With the contesti believe this series will extend to 150 at least.

Can I still join the boat? :D

Dude, I love you, man, but I do not understand why you're trying to hide this. You're changing the rules because Google changed *their* rules. You lost your #1 ranking because there were too many people using the same link text to point to you.

Why does this need to be a huge secret? Why be anything less than completely honest? I don't understand.

John Chow

I didn't know it was a secret. If you know why I changed the rule, then I'm sure everyone else knows as well.

Joshua

You are being very SECRETive with your identity...any reason? Why can't we know???

'The Google' is not the end all of the internets!

Brilliances

Yeah.. John emailed me personally to change my anchor text to his blog. Did you get the same email? :wink:

Ah.. so there's the $4000 SEO tip... use different text for links or else google will take you off the main page.

I believe it was his robots.txt file that was the cause of that...

Thanks John, take it easy in TW and hold back on the hot chicks. You're married you evil you.

He does it for his fans! * A bunch of lonely computer geeks that can't get chicks!!

No, no you're not :P

UGHH, so far to 83, there´s my review, in the outlook spam.

Hi John, would you like to exchange links with my blog. :idea:

If I had a dollar for every person that asked me that....

Nathan Hutchinson

Haha nice response :grin:

Cripes, if *I* had a dollar for every person who asked me that and I'm nowhere near as popular as John :razz:

Lyman Reed

Don't you, John? :)

Thanks for the link!

I'll be first to give you that dollar John :mrgreen:

Mixing anchor text? He, he, he. I guess I wasn't so clueless after all.

John,

I'm glad you are openly following my advice.

For those that think the problem was in the robots.txt, think again. I posted yesterday, a detailed article explaining Google inner workings.

The fact that the 'wrong' robots.txt file was the one cached, means that the search engine had not considered the 'fixed' one yet for the actual index.

Search engines crawl/download -> cache -> index documents. The indexer reads the documents from the cache.

I provide proof of this in my article.

Way to go everyone for taking on John's Make Money batch!

I am still toying with the idea but did recently offer a bloggers challenge if anyone is interested in taking it on.

Look for the Ferrari on my site and you will find it.

I think mixing up the anchor text will have a bigger impact now for you John. You will rise to the top in various combinations rather than extensively in one.

Great work.
