I like to take this time to send a shout to all our sponsors. These guys and gals pay the bills around here so I like to give them an extra plug whenever possible. It’s all part of the under promise and over deliver method of doing business. It works really well.

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...

Hey I just blogged about under promising and over delivering John. And what you’ve just done is pure bribery!
Its always nice to see John making a post about his advertisers. BTW, I really feel sorry for darin!
yup…it is a nice way to thank the advertiser
And that was a one great post Cath
(well like all the rest).
Good thing to give some extra love to your sponsors John, they definitively deserve with the bills they pay for you
With the money they’re paying … one would hope for a bit of link love!
Not sure about the beach bum dude.
Thank you Astrit. I wasn’t sure if I should mention food in the post at first, incase John thought I was copying him.
thanks for the info
Great post because you really respect your advertisers
he better , thyey pay him bigbucks.
Yeh, agree …. he`s duly rewarded for the post! …. I`ll be a sponsor in the near future.
LOL. yeah. The least he can do for them.
Good post
Respect…
Interesting last post on Darins blog
Think he has a problem
Nice shout out. Zac Johnson’s site is a regular favourite of mine.
Yeah, but he doesn’t actaully saw HOW he made that much with NeverBlueAds. Hopefully his upcoming free ebook will help answer the real questions.
Yeah, Zac is cool!
If I have $500, John Chow dot Com will be my first choice. I got more respect for you now.
$500 for an ad that is going to be flipped with 9 other ads? I wouldn’t. I do like john’s blog but I think getting another ad deal would be better.
Thanks for the link and posting. Thanks for mentioning the new “Pay Per Click Guide” , it will be great!
Zac I love reading your blog. Sometimes im more interested in the money your making from the casinos than I am with the ppc. Ever think about setting up a step by step guide for new affiliates or takings some under your wing and training them? I’d do it!
Hey Mubin, thanks! Actually I have a new casino blog in the works too. I will also be releasing my own “Make Money with PPC Marketing” guide this week. Looking forward to helping others start making money online.
Enjoy reading almost all of your sponsors webpages!
you do? i dont.
Troll.
Shopzilla hasn’t paid the September bills yet! I haven’t received my payment from them via papay and was told that it was sent on Friday. I called their bluff as the payment obviously wasn’t in my account. Beware when signing up for Shopzilla. I hope they pay soon because thier ads did outperform some others on my sites.
You need to be patient. May be they are having some technical problems. What I could possible suggest is to email them or even call them and see what is happening before telling people that they are not paying.
That’s how I got the info in the post…I emailed them directly.
I was told that my payment was sent last Friday…and it wasn’t. I asked for a receipt because my account did not show payment and they couldn’t give me one. I am now told that payment will be this week. I’m just reporting what I have been told…Like I said, I hope the payment comes through because their network did outperform some other networks on a couple of my sites and I am looking forward to using the service when the “technical problems” are corrected.
Also, I don’t think Darin should be very suprised that they stole his blog design. Its a very simple design and very easy to duplicate. I hope he didnt pay top dollars for that. I can make the same design under 10 minutes for free
Are you sure you can make it under 10 minutes for free?
I seriously doubt he could do it in 10 minutes without a PSD. Even with a PSD the fastest my coders have been able to do the simplest wp theme is half an hour.
People talk so much smack in comments its not even funny. You know what, why don’t we have a little challenge Turk Hit Box, I will give you a FULL PSD and you can code it for Wordpress, condition if you code it within 10 minutes you can keep the theme, distribute it for free, sell it, do whatever you want?
If you can’t do it in 10 minutes come back to the John Chow comments and say that you like to talk smack for no apparent reason!
10 minutes!? I doubt that very much
Alright, make it 10 minutes for photoshop, 20 for wordpress theme.
ITs a basic theme overall.
@mubin: I am not talking smack. Thats a basic theme with no javascript, no special icons. Even if it takes a day, i wouldn’t mind someone stealing that design.
I really don’t understand people paying wp designs from uniqueblogdesigns. Even Johnchow.com ‘s design is basic.
Anyone can email me for a free blog design if your blog is PR 4+ that way I can at least get some backlinks at the footer
You have an awesome list of Sponsors. We all want to be like John Chow.
Does everyone want to be John Chow? I know John Cow does.
Hopefully I’ll have my own sponsor to shout out too on my blog soon.
Darin and Zac have very interesting blogs as well
I definitely agree, the ads are very effective on JohnChow’s blog since it’s all about advertising, people actually do look and click on the ads.
I clicked on the 300×250 Ad saying “Start earning extra incom with Google today” and fund myself on a site (Smiley Central) that was promoting smileys. What has smileys to do with Google?
It is indeed very nice of you to give so much space to the good people who make it possible to run this wonderful blog. It is also fascinating to see the comments that have flown as a result. You always do something that is totally unexpected and it is refreshing. Keep it up.
Are these all sponsors or more affiliates you are working for?
i think its good to acknowledge your sponsors. free pimpin never hurts and it might get them to sign up under your campaign again. again john is evil
