Welcome Some New Sponsors
I like to take this time to welcome a couple of new sponsors, who also happen to be fellow bloggers. This just goes to show that if you want to grow your blog, sometimes you need to spend a bit of money.
Mitch Harper’s Interspire SendStudio
Mitch Harper is a man who wears many hats. He has his own blog at HarpzOn.com that gives advice on driving more web traffic and he is a guest blogger on this blog as well. Mitch’s main moneymaker, however, is his software company, Interspire.
Interspire SendStudio is the best newsletter software I have ever used. Mitch like that quote so much he is using it on the banner that’s running at the bottom of each posts. If you’re looking for a great piece of software to send out newsletters, SendStudio is the one to get. Read my full review of the product here.
Jeremy Miller’s Jemmille.com
A big thank you goes out to Jeremy Miller for purchasing a text link on this blog through Text link Ads. I’m sure Jeremy took advantage of the $100 TLA coupon. I guess Jeremy looked at the effort it would take to get and maintain a Top Commentators position and concluded that paying $200 for a link would be easier.
Jeremy’s blog is getting well known for his 5 Questions With section. This where Jeremy asks five questions with famous bloggers. So far Aaron Wall, Shoemoney, Steve Rubel and yours truly have taken part. Check out my answers to the the five questions.

Thanks for the link to the older post about the newsletter review. I missed that post originally.
Reply to this commentBig fan of Jeremy’s site. I caught it on MyBlogLog when he came by Derrich.com for a visit. He has one of those “unique” avatars.
Reply to this commentJeremy’s site is pretty cool. I really like the 5 questions section. I hope the sponsored link pays off for both
Reply to this commentit does take quite a bit of effort to reach the top commentators list.
Reply to this commentI dont bother with trying. It makes me feel like a spammer when trying.
Reply to this commentI agree. Although I’m on it, I’ve lagged from the middle of the list to the bottom. Every now and then, I pop back on the list…dead last.
Reply to this commentIndeed it does, I tend to be on and off the list… I don’t know what I would do If PR updated during a brief moment I slipped off it!
Reply to this commentShoemoney does the top 15 and that seems to make enough room for the supper commentators as well as some of the most loyal casual readers
Reply to this commentI have been commenting (without spamming) for over a week now, but it seems that others just comment more and more as the top 10 get so competitive. The list keeps me coming back, and I am sure it does for others too.
Reply to this commentIf you love john chow blog, you’ve plenty to comment
Reply to this commentThat interview at Jemmille.com was one of the best I ever read
Reply to this commentYou are making me blush Alex. Thanks!
Reply to this commentIt is pretty frikken good.
Reply to this commentHey John… heres an idea… how about you extend the top commentators list to includea few more people? (give somthing back and al that
)
Reply to this commentI say drop it completly
Reply to this commentIt would be interesting to see what happened to the comments then.
Reply to this commentI can’t imagine how much this must have cost them, but IMHO it is money well spent!
Reply to this commentCharities…John, I’m sure I’m not alone when I say this, but that’s just so noble of you. I don’t remember reading about your humanitarian causes on your site. That was so nice of Jeremy to highlight that part in his post.
Reply to this commentJohn did mentioned that over here before
.. so john is not ‘evil’ after all 
Reply to this commentThis is a prying question. Do you have any kind of statistics as to how much traffic you generate for your sponsors? Review Me is $300 and how is that cost justified? Is there a range of how many uniques can be expected from it?
Reply to this commentEnough to justify the cost. I promise.
Reply to this comment*ponders*
Reply to this commentme too? …
Reply to this commentYep enough to justify. I’ve paid to be on John’s blog and Jeremy’s so I can speak from experience
Reply to this commentYou did? I wasn’t aware. If anyone would like to start paying to be on my site, I’m happy to take offers
Reply to this commentA number of people who have paid for reviews have posted with their experiences.
Even the guy that got caned (http://www.ipojourney.com/) thought it was well spent.
Reply to this commentEh I like the Harpzon one a lot.
Reply to this commentThere is always something to comment about on John’s site, it is basically and open discussion among peers.
Reply to this commentTrue, true…some may agree while some may not, but at least you know people are reading your posts. I’d like to think that John may have picked up a few things from feedback as well.
Reply to this commentHi John
Reply to this commentI found a link mistake on your article. The text “$100 TLA coupon” suppose link to http://www.johnchow.com/go/get_feature.php
but it doesn’t!! Fix it soon, otherwise you will not get any affiliate.
As far as the top 10 comments thing goes, I think the more important factor than being shown on the page is the quality of your actual comments. I think more people click your name after reading a quality comment than just click the top comments thing in the sidebar.

Reply to this commentYou said it — quality over quantity…otherwise you’re just wasting people’s time (not to mention valuable comments space).
Reply to this commentInterspire SendStudio… Heard it before. I never thought and knew that Mitch actually is the owner.. kewl.
Reply to this commentI did not visit them yet, but now, maybe I’ll stop by.
Reply to this commentHey I just wanted to say wow - I didn’t realize you did a lot of charity donations! (I read that in your interview!) Kudos to you - especially giving to the children charities.
