John Cow rocketed to fame by being the best of the John Chow dot Com copycats. While his blog was basically a parody of mine, it did offer good humor and its own unique brand of content. However, the cow’s newest venture, the Million Euro Wiki, isn’t a parody at all. It’s pretty much a carbon copy of the Million Dollar Wiki. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The Million Dollar Wiki has made almost $100,000 since it started. If you’re going to copy something, then it’s best to copy something that is making good money.
The Million Euro Wiki is basically the Million Dollar Home page meets Wikiipedia. There will be a page for literally everything. However, instead of being open for anyone to edit, one person owns each page and can monetize it anyway they see fit. I have already made a profit on my Million Dollar Wiki page and expect to do the same for my page on the Million Euro Wiki. Each page cost €75 or $100US. If you missed the keyword you wanted on the Million Dollar Wiki, you have a chance to get it on the Euro page.
Use Coupon Code JohnChow for 10% Discount
Like the Million Dollar Wiki, I have set up a 10% coupon code for the Million Euro Wiki. Enter JohnChow when you buy a page and you’ll save $10.
Win 1 of 20 16GB iPod Touch
To create a big bang, the Million Euro Wiki is giving away twenty 16GB iPod Touch to some lucky page owners. For every 25 pages sold, the cow will randomly select one of the page-owners and give them a brand new 16GB iPod touch worth $400.
Twenty pages have been sold on its first day (today). Five more and the first iPod will be given away. If you don’t win the first giveaway, you’ll have another chance when the next 25 pages are sold, and then the next 25, and so on. Therefore, the earlier you buy your page, the more chances you have of winning. If I win the iPod, I’ll give it away to a reader.

copycatting at its finest. i dont think this one will do so well though.
the ipod givwaway is a novel idea, but it means he gets $2100 out $2500 (25 pages at $100). Eh, he is shelling much out of his pocket.
No, it’s one iPod per 25 pages. So it’ll be 500 pages sold and he’ll gives out 20 iPod. $50,000 in page sales at a cost of $8,000 in iPods.
I really don’t understand the attraction of this whole million dollar wiki phenomenon. Am I the only one?
John I am shocked you didn’t come up with this idea sooner than that Cow. Are you slippen’?
Well I think the idea is if you buy a page you will get more than your $100 in advertising. The ipod thing is just an added bonus. I bought a million dollar wiki page but I think i’ll hold off on the million euro wiki page.
I’m confused. In order to make this a million euro wiki he’s going to have to sell 13333 and a third pages at 75 euros a page? How’s he going to sell that third of a web page?
He doesnt have to make exactly 1m… it can be more
But if he’s copying the Million Dollar Wiki then that’s the whole gimick, 10,000 pages for $100 dollars each? Why even mention euro’s if you’re charging in dollars? JohnCow.com was very well executed, this just seems a bit naff.
I’m thinking that the Million Dollars might be just a title? I mean, they could make less or maybe even more than a Million in the long run - I don’t think he’ll stop at a million just because, nor be unhappy at $250,000.
Would you stop at 1m, after reaching that target, I think not.
It’s a total copy of the million Dollar wiki, but there’s nothing wrong with copying someone that’s making a success of someone else’s idea is there?
Calculation is wrong
I am very impress with all the thing he is doing to make money - clever 
Yeah he is pretty clever, at copying. But lets see how all this will go.
Hey John … I think this cow guy could have a “one up” on you on the evil aspect.
this guy is seriously a genious. In hindsight, the wiki, euro version thing seems like such a simple idea, but yeah, it will for sure make that guy some major cash.
John, your gonna have to do something to out-do this guy. These young cats (cows…) are right on your tail!
get that marker to blackboard, buddy! web 2.0 brings out the competition, literally, overnight!
It would be interesting to see if it works. Hundreds of million dollars hompages hihn’t work
It would be interesting to see if it works. Hundreds of million dollars hompages didn’t work
not really that much if you look it in a bigger perspective just like what John already made obvious.
Haha, I love it. John Cow is a blast. I wonder who it really is.
Er….. it’s Bob from Bobmeetsworld.com
It will probably be successful.
I kept reading the first sentence wondering what’s wrong about it.
Haven’t visited John Cow yet, but good luck to those planning to join the fun!
I prefer buying the iPod instead…
Call me old-fashioned.
I knew you were going to write about the Million Euro Wiki at some point today. I guess being a copy cat does pay off.
he said he would in his newsletter.
Nothing wrong with a look-alike site. I mean, the DealDotCom page is remarkably similar to Woot.com. Even the concept is.
DealDotCom focuses on internet marketing/affiliate sales niche though.
I got approached early to buy a page in this. I think that it will be a success, I just don’t have the advertising budget for this yet (my plan was to use blog profits to promote the blog, not out of pocket cash)
After seeing almost no traffic from my 3 - million dollar wiki pages, I think I’ll sit this one out.
any chance you would post your stats? I and I’m sure many others would love to see them.
What keywords do you own, some ppl are getting hard traffic from MDW
Can the Million Ruble Wiki be far behind?
I wouldnt joke about that, I had actually posted whats next the million euro wiki when John first posted about the million dollarwiki
I can’t believe you posted on this, well I can really and was expecting it but…
John, I am sorry to say that I have lost some respect in your blog aswell tonight.
I know your blog is about making money and this is what you do well, but promoting a copycat site based on an unproven concept is just odd to me. I know you will make money off this post, but will it do your readers any good? these are the people who make you money.
You obviously gain through your discount code as well as cashquests does & the johncow discount code (although that was published to make you think it was not his site) but do you really think this will offer benifit to your readers?
Yes, you have made a good return on your milliondollarwiki investment, but since you are now promoting this copycat program, can you provide real stats on how those that bought pages through your recommendations on milliondollarwiki have done?
to me, this just stinks like the top bloggers will do well off those gullible enough to buy pages.
I’d love to be proven wrong, so please do so…
Also, I’d love to hear your opinion on why this is the millonEUROwiki since most mentions are in dollars & pricing is done in dollars, do you think we should set up a millionCADwiki, millionANYCURRENCYwiki, but still charge in dollars? and will you promote it if you get your cut?
Also, do you really recommend buyng links on PR0 sites and pages which many are filled with spam type content for 100 dollars?
Nobody expects every single page-buyer to make a fortune. But those who purchase and utilize the page wisely will make money.
It’s simple..
If you’re not wise - don’t buy one. If you’re smart - grab one.
LOL someone just bought millioncadwiki.com after you posted it.
we can expect a ton of those sites now
It will soon become an over-saturated market like any market out here.
But this is how everybody makes money. I don’t think my financial adviser has my best interest in his mind.
This is utter waste of money.
John Chow writes bad reviews about other people’s money making opportunities, but this euro dollar wiki got to be the WORST SO FAR!
and yet, he’s giving it a thumbs up!
Be careful people… GREED is coming into the picture soon….
UN
whats with the hate!??
You are the UN, afterall!
Worst so far, I doubt that as it does have the possibility to make just as much or more if marketed to an international crowd. Also GREED has been in the picture its a make MONEY online blog.
Well, I have grabbed my page.
http://millioneurowiki.com/micro_investment
Got mine too:
http://millioneurowiki.com/money
I think I was the second purchase. Even before Mr Chow!
When I view your site (not through the meurowiki), it says Bad Request (Invalid Hostname) ?
crap really? does it still say that?
Yeah.

It works well for me
I would definitely want to see how other users that have purchased pages are doing before I spend $100 on an unproven concept. That’s a bit much for me to spend on something that may not pan out at all.
It’s hardly an unproven concept. The Million Dollar Homepage and The Million Dollar Wiki have both proved that you can get a fantastic ROI from your investment if you use them wisely.
So, everyone or even the majority of those that purchased pages on The Million Dollar Wiki have had an excellent ROI? Perhaps a few definitely can, like John, who posts a blog and sends thousands of people towards a link. This doesn’t guarantee that everyone that buys in will be able to instantly cash in on a the same sort of traffic. And eventually if you get enough copy-cats, those copy-cats begin to fizzle.
This is the second copycat and it doesn’t sounds like their would be another copycat coming out with the similar domain name. Cow does have the relationship with few famous bloggers so he has an advantage over many other starter.
The traffic that John Chow brings to the site will literally help all the unpopular pages. That’s the whole concept behind it all.
John could have made that same money he made through MDW from just this site, but the others who are unknown and are benefiting from the traffic John is brining to MDW from all his links, would not be able to make any.
@ Zybron / Cashquests:
I would side with Zybron on this one. John could set up a page on http://www.adsfasdfadsfasdf.com (just demonstrating that the domain doesn’t matter) and direct enough people to it to make money.
I would be on the side that pushing those with little or no reach on the Internet to participate is leaning towards poor advice.
Most of the pages on MDW are dead in the water. And I thought part of Cow’s ad copy said that the MDHP DIDN”T get anyone a fantastic ROI. This is all just spin.
Japanese stood up immediately after WWII. They copycated western science & technology and modified to become a new brand.
JohnCow has made the same stories!
Sometimes innovation is just the modification of the existing brand and make it!
Great try!
It seems like someone is being even more evil than you.
