Miscellaneous Ramblings for 8-10-2007

$7,000 In One Day
Graham Langdon of The Million Dollar Wiki is one happy camper. I wrote about Graham’s project three days ago. The next day he sells 70 pages. Let’s see, at $100 per page, Graham pulled down $7,000 in 24 hours. Hmmm, I think he should buy me a beer!
23 Thing Nate Learned From Blogging
Nate Whitehill, who won a Nintendo Wii from me, has been blogging for the past seven months and has learned 23 things from it. I’m sure he learned more but 23 was all he could think of. Congrats to Nate for reaching 500 RSS subscribers.
Damn Evil Cow
It seems evil is rubbing off on the cow. They posted a way to get unlimited Yahoo! Search Marketing coupons.
There’s 4 digits at the end of that URL and we quickly found that with a bit of mixing up the numbers, there’s heaps more vouchers available, all with different values! $20, $50, $60, $75 and probably $100 but we didn’t find that one. We grabbed a $75 voucher and can confirm this is working, we just setup an ad campaign worth $80.
Here a link for a $100 coupon. If you’re truly evil, you’ll figure out a way to turn it into $1,000.
Problogger Gets A New Look
What do you think? I like it a lot. However, his front page isn’t his blog anymore. It’s more of a portal. I guess readers who want the blog only can change the bookmark from problogger.net to problogger.net/blog (or read it from RSS).

Sally Climbs The Stairs
To get your weekend started off on a smiling note, I present this video of Sally Chow climbing the stairs for the first time (with a little help from her grand mom). Enjoy!

Its about time problogger got a new design the old one was a mess.
Yeah I agree, didn’t like it very much but this one looks promising.
Simon
I didn’t mind the old one. I really like the new one better though. that video was cute lol
Seems like I’ve seen this type of design too many times though.
John, have you ever used Yahoo ads before? Effective?
Yes I have used them. It’s harder to set up than Google AdWords but they are quite effective.
More or less effective than Adwords?
I like Problogger’s new design, I think it looks great. Mostly, I’ve read it through RSS just for the content…
beautiful baby !
congratulation
The $100 a page wiki idea is cool. Reminds me of buying pixels, then after that is was word phrases. Now to figure out what is next before anyone else….
BeachBum
How about http://www.millioneurowiki.com?
Is that similiar to 1376200dollarwiki.com?
It’s good to see the Cow is maintaining his evil bovine intentions!
Oh, walk them stairs!
Bring on the yahoo coupons.
$7,000? I think he ought to buy you more than a beer! Maybe dinner, eh?
$7G’s in 24hrs!?!? Holy Mackrel! I think he should buy you a little more than a beer. . sheesh. I need to feel the John Chow effect, on my back account!
Before you can feel that effect, you need to be on the receiving end of the “Damn, I wish I thought of that” effect.
Darren’s design looks a lot like http://www.readwriteweb.com to me…or am I tripping…
That video was so cute I had to comment.
john chow has got the life. money and a good family
Sally is too cute! oh my gosh!!! ADORABLE! I love little asian babies, there’s nothing cuter.. gosh. She’s well on her way to internet stardom! *=)
How many kids have 7200 people see them walk up the stairs?
The new problogger theme looks amazing, it looks more professional and cleaner, just what he needed.
Hey John, thanks for the linkage. I originally had like 50 things I learned on there, but I didn’t want to post a 3000 word article, so I cut it down to 23, my age. Thanks man!
Nate
John, firstly, your little Sally is gorgeous! An absolute delight. You must be one proud Daddy!!
As for Problogger, his site is looking great. Giving me some food for thought too.
Love the new Problogger theme although I hate to see the orange go.
MillionDollarWiki looks like he’ll make it at this rate. Just wait til the media picks up the story.
This is interesting. Compare the Alexa rankings for the million-dollar-home-page and the million-dollar-wiki over time. You can see when the million-doller-home-page guy got his CNN interview.

Thank for the tip I got the 100.00 coupon.
Parents are very excited to see baby grows up day after day. Every great move begins with a small step. Congratulation!
Beautiful baby! It’s seems like yesterday my kids were that little. Enjoy, cause they grow up very fast.

$7k in 24 hours is a very nice return on a $400 review - maybe you should start charging commission on sales made 48 hours after your review!
that guy will be the next web guy to cash in big time. Good for him!
[...] On another note, how about some free $100 credits on sponsored search ads? {via JC} [...]
[...] $100 Yahoo! Search Marketing coupon I posted earlier today went over so well I decided to add a few more ways to get your paid advertising for next to no [...]
Thanks for all the updates - I love the new look of ProBlogger!
John I agree the guy who runs the Million Dollar Wiki owes you a keg for the promotion you gave him! I noticed how the number of pages sold had jumped after I saw your blog entry about his site.
John,
Your little princess is cute!
Bob
