A Rant! And Some Updates

Posted by Mark Cuda on Monday, June 16th, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Ok, has anyone seen THIS? Yes, that’s real!

Why in the world is this on a supposed “Make Money Online” blog?

Because A-list are full of Cow Patties. That’s why. (Not ProBlogger though, he’s still top notch.)

It really sickens me how people like John Chow just suck in revenue from their blogs when they don’t contribute at all! I can understand if that’s on a dating blog, but MMO? And yeah, they tried to make the connection that you need to think about human needs not just making money online. But is a whole series on getting a girlfriend fitting? Short answer? NO. Long answer? Still no.

If you are one of the 26k+ Subscribed to www.JohnChow.com and you actually think it’s going to help you make money online, your pretty naive. If your subscribed so you can stay up to date with what John eats for Dinner, then I have no beef with you other than your wasting valuable time reading that when you can be reading a blog like The University Kid, which has helped me make $X,XXX over the months, and can help you too.

Now, I know that this is not the first time JC has posted something like this, nor will it be the last. But I mean come on! This one just put me over the edge. I hate how people flock to his blog, (26069 to be exact) hoping to learn how to make money online, and yet learn nothing, and spend $100s buying products they don’t need through JohnChow’s affiliate links, making him hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from doing nothing of value.

So please, stop reading those huge A-list blogs, (except for ProBlogger, he’s great. :D ) and start reading the smaller blogs with under 3k or 4k readers, as they will be helping you learn for real, not just fill your minds with crap.

Well, rant over. :D

On another note, we are progressing greatly. :) After my injury, I’ve dropped in RSS readers and traffic, but with my return, we’re quickly picking up again! :D

Also, our Alexa is down to just over 286k! That’s a feat, and soon, we’ll reach the 100k mark! :)

Also, we have over 3,000 back links and growing. :) I’ll be talking about building strong, do-follow back links soon as well. :) Not a new method at all, but the more it’s posted, the more exposure it gets, and the better it works. :D

That’s pretty much easy, thanks again for sticking around, we’re growing greatly, and will be expanding with some exciting new things soon!
