They do, it’s true! How many of John Chow’s posts are actually helping you make money, right this second? And how many are promoting some stupid affiliate product that you probably wont make money with?

Not all MMO Blogs suck, but 99% of them do. A couple of ones I think don’t are TheUniversityKid and JohnCow, but most of the others post the same crap day after day, and it gets boring. The MMO niche is now crammed with splogs, as far as I’m concerned, which post complete bull that won’t help you or me make anything online, just waste your own time which you should be spending making money.

Money makes money. Spend some time doing things like forum posting, and earn yourself $50. Once you’ve got that, find something decent to invest it in. Not some crappy ebook, something like hosting and a domain, which you can then use to make money. Be amazing, have a great idea, and stick with it. Maybe after 4-5 months, you’ll make some money.

This comes from a complete newbie who makes jack all online, and I intend to continue doing a little work here and there, because it’s enough. This isn’t a MMO blog, and it never will be. You can’t go from 0 to 15,000 a month, it’s just not possible.

Good Luck, and stop wasting your time on stupid MMO Blogs. Read TUK and JohnCow, and that’s it.

It never fails to amaze me how many people like blogs like John Chow dot com, I mean even the title would make me want to leave the site immediately,
“I make money by telling other people how much money I make online”

That just sounds bigheaded to me. I’ve read a lot of the posts on there, and a lot of them seem like complete crap to me, and the website employs some of the most annoying advertising methods I have ever seen.

I mean, peel back ads, and that annoying header thing, trying to pretend to look like MS IE, it just really pisses me off.

Admittedly, I think (a long time ago) he posted some interesting stuff, but recently (last 6 months) I’ve seen very little that has been of interest to me.

Even Google seems pissed at John Chow. He wen’t from PR6 right down to PR2, and I understand that he has lost a lot of his SERPS, by trying to hard to make money, and it’s killing his blog.

Update: He has lost his SERPS, he doesn’t even rank for John Chow any more link

So, he might be a .com mogul, but it seems that he is losing his reputation (and search engine placements) bit by bit.

However, there is always JohnCow.com , a similar sort of website without so much of the “I make money from YOU!” crap, (that’s the feeling I get from JohnChow)

Never mind, eh? He’s right enough already…
