Shout Out To Sponsors And Advertisers
I like to take this time to send a shout out to our sponsors and advertisers. They help pay the cost of running this blog so I don’t have to charge you for reading my content. OK, I wouldn’t charge you for it anyway but you get the idea. 
Premium Sponsor: Search Engine Guide
Search Engine Guide covers everything you can think about when it comes to Google and other search engine. They are a daily read for me. I would love to steal Jennifer Laycock away so she can come work for me but I think Search Engine Guide would sic their puppy on me if I try. Don’t let that cute looks fool you. That puppy is a killer!
Contest Sponsor: 1234Pens.com
This month’s contest was sponsored by promotional pens maker, 1234Pens.com. They’re helping me give a way a Nintendo Wii in an evil blog contest. There’s still five more days left in the contest so if you haven’t entered yet, better get on it!

Treat Your Advertisers Like Your Readers
Dealing with advertisers is not much different than dealing with readers. Both want to be treated with respect and both should feel they got value for dealing with you. These shout outs are just one way I help deliver value to my sponsors. It’s a bit like acknowledging the Top Commentators for their contributions and it’s one more lesson in the concept of under promise and over deliver.

Nice idea John.. got it from TechCrunch I bet?
Reply to this commentHe stole the idea from me!
Reply to this commentWere you out eviled John?
Reply to this commentMaybe that’s what he wants you to think…
Reply to this commentWho cares who done it first? Better late than never.
Reply to this commentEven if he was, it’s only one idea out of the evilest source of ideas I’ve ever seen
Reply to this commentjohnchow X TechCrunch
That would be interesting
Reply to this commentHAHA Damn Michael Arrington - he’s even more evil than you!
Reply to this commentMaybe Techcrunch is more evil then? Because evil pople steal.
Reply to this commentWell it doesn’t matter where he got the idea, it is indeed a good one. John has done it before as well.
I learn a lot trying to find my way around this thing called ‘blog’ and one thing that really amazes me is how many people there are who somehow think the ‘Net is free and that all the work that people put into things are free. The song may say “Love makes the world go ‘Round.”, but it doesn’t. Business (money) does. Let’s hear it for the ‘pro’ in pro blogger.
Reply to this commentI’ve clicked on all their links and purchased all their products. THey should be happy now!
Reply to this commentThat was nice of you to buy all of those products…
Reply to this commentWhat a good idea !
Reply to this commentYou did a good job getting me to check out several of your advertisers with this post.
Reply to this commentI was fandangled into checking one of them out
Reply to this commentThe advertisers get great exposure this way.
Reply to this commentWhich in turn makes them happy and interested in continuing their campaign. Which helps John make more money. It’s win-win
Reply to this commentVery true, I doubt they had to pay for this extra ad too!
Reply to this commentHey John, I first read about your blog a while ago in the Vancouver Sun and found it quite inspiring.
Reply to this commentI justed started a blog of my own, and will hopefully one day (with the help of your blog of course) have a blog as successful as yours!
That article was nationally syndicated I think. Amazing publicity for John, and completely free. So evil.
Reply to this commentI’ve entered the content so hopefully I’m able to win it!

Reply to this commentSpot on, advertisers are people too
Reply to this commentI like the idea of treating your advertisers like readers. It’s a very different take on it than most have. It is a very symbiotic relationship though, and you do need to keep a good relationship with your advertisers.
Reply to this commentThis is true, in fact you should almost treat them a little better because they are what’s making you money
Reply to this commentWell, most people just treat their advertisers as just another money-making tool..
It’s good to see someone treating them so well!
Reply to this commentThe site looks great ! Thanks for all your help ( past, present and future !)
Reply to this commentGiving credit where credit is due (sponsors and advertisers); that’s really estimable. Snaps for even acknowledging us, your readers.
