Shout Out To Our Blog Sponsors

written by John Chow on October 10th, 2007

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.

BlueFur – Web Host Sponsor

Thanks to BlueFur Web Hosting for supplying the dual-core Xeon server that houses this blog. If you’re looking for a quality web host, give BlueFur a shout. Use coupon code JohnChowRocks for 15% off any hosting package.

Search Engine Guide – Premium Ad Sponsor

Search Engine Guide is a daily read for me. This is one of the best site of its kind on the Net. The site is edited by Jennifer Laycock, who is known for her down–to–earth style of teaching and a special focus on educating small business owners. She is author of “The Small Business Guide to Search Engine Marketing” and the free “Zero Dollars, a Little Bit of Talent and 30 Days” series.

125×125 Button Sponsors

Zac Johnson Dot Com – Get inside the secret life of a Super Affiliate. Zac Johnson talks about how to make big bucks from affiliate marketing. His latest post includes the secrets of PPC marketing and how he made $8,533 from Neverblue Ads.

Shopzilla – Make money online by display Shopzilla shopping content on your website. John Chow dot Com readers who sign up will have $39.99 deposited into their account just for signing up.

Darin Carter – Darin is so popular that someone who has with no understanding of copyright ripped off his blog design.

TNX.net – TNX is a convenient tool that allows publishers and advertisers to save time, efforts and money. They have a really interesting affiliate program as well.

No APR Credit Cards – Why pay interest when you don’t have to? Well, eventually you will pay but these credit cards offer zero interest for up to 18 months.

Home Biz Seeker – This beach bum claims he made $237,000 from his laptop.

Web Hosting Unleashed – Started in 2002 as a place users could leave reviews of web hosting companies in order to help others see what hosts you should avoid and those that were good.

Bidvertiser – Bidvertiser, a CPC ad network that competes with Google AdSense. It main advantage over AdSense is its low $10 payout. You only need to make $10 in order to be paid. Big publishers wouldn’t care about this but for many small blogs that are still waiting to hit that magic $100 Google payout level, getting pay at a lower level is quite attractive.

300×250 Ad Spots Available

I still have a few 300×250 banner spots available. The 300×250 banner spot is the biggest and most visible banner spot on this blog. It is also the highest performing. The new ads starts running tomorrow. Price is only $500 per month. To take advantage of this opportunity, PayPal $500 to johnchow@johnchow.com, and Email your 300×250 ad to same Email address.

  1. Hey I just blogged about under promising and over delivering John. And what you’ve just done is pure bribery!

  2. Great post because you really respect your advertisers

  3. Nice shout out. Zac Johnson’s site is a regular favourite of mine.

  4. If I have $500, John Chow dot Com will be my first choice. I got more respect for you now.

  5. Thanks for the link and posting. Thanks for mentioning the new “Pay Per Click Guide” , it will be great! :)

  6. Enjoy reading almost all of your sponsors webpages!

    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.

      • Ty

        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.

  8. 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 :)

  9. You have an awesome list of Sponsors. We all want to be like John Chow.

  10. Hopefully I’ll have my own sponsor to shout out too on my blog soon.

  11. Darin and Zac have very interesting blogs as well

  12. 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?

  13. 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.

  14. Are these all sponsors or more affiliates you are working for? :lol:

  15. Now comes the 10,000$ question: “When will you write a blog article thanking the fabulous readers coming from all over the world who pay regular visits – not only through RSS – to the JohnChow.Com-Blog?”

    I think THAT is a very good question. Praise be to those who visit. They even visit commentator’s sites. Love ya guys and gals. :-D

  16. 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 :twisted:
