If You Sold Your Blog Would You Tell?
If you want to make money the easy way subscribe to my RSS feed, and learn how to make money from your feedreader.
With the recent sale of JohnCow.com, I was bit disappotinted to find that not only had the new owner not wrote a introduction post to tell us what his plans with the blog are, but the leaving owner did not even bother to say a goodbye to all the readers that had made his blog a huge success.
Whilst Im sure that this was a deal set in place by the new owner so that any new readers would not be lost. I have the feeling that this is going to turn into another cashquests type deal where the new owner is just using the readers as an extension of their already successful bsuiness model.
Just a bit disappointed, and thought I would rant a bit.
GooGle Slaps Suck
Especially when its for your own name!
I guess I know how John Chow Feels now.
For all you white hat SEO’s out there, please do not start preaching to me. I didn’t do anything wrong. I think it had to do with my server being down, and me using a new theme, but that should not have a effect on the url structure or on my serp’s.
C’mon google “Don’t be evil”

How To Make Money Online With A Image Host Part 4
It is time ladies and gentlemen for the post you have all been waiting for! This section of the make money online with a image host series will show you how to get the targetted traffic to your site!
TRAFFIC!
Before we get started on this, I want you all to take a look at the screenshots of the traffic you can expect to receive from your image hosts.
Monthly Screenshots:
For those of you that can’t read it shows August stats of 17 Unique visitors. And September stats of 36,025. That’s about 1k unique a day, but I only started promoting after the 10th of September. Now you are all probably thinking that Im lying right? Well here is another screenshot with the proof that I started after the 10th and stopped promoting on the 24th of September. Here is the screenshot for September:
Made it a bit bigger so that you could see the daily unique.
Now come the part where I tell you all my dirtly little secrets on how to get traffic to your image hosts. This is what you have all been waiting for.
The way to get traffic to your site is very simple. People come to an image site looking for PICTURES! You just have to post pictures on forums and people will click through them and I am going to show you how exactly.
Step 1: Getting Pictures: You have to get the pictures before you can actually post them anywhere. The best source for getting celebirity pictures is http://www.forum.phun.org. These are all updated daily and they are mostly brand new. Now make sure that the pictures you source are not already posted on the other forums where I tell you to post them. So now you have your pictures.
Step 2: Upload the Pictures: Now this is kind of obvious but the pictures that you get have to be re uploaded on your site, I was about to skip this step but then remembered that there are actually people out there that would skip this step. The reason you have to reupload them is so that you are actually using your own site in step 3.
Step 3: Posting your Pictures: I only use 3 forums to post pictures on, and the traffic has sustained itself. The forums to post the pictures on are:
That’s it. Take the pictures from Phun.org, download them, reupload them to your site, and post them on the other forums in step 3.
It might also be a good idea to put your site in your signature on these forums. Since people are actually also posting pics on these forums they may be inclined to start using your site. That way you have people doing the work for you.
Another method that could be successful for you is to post funny/interesting pics on digg, it might not always lead to a front page dig but it will lead to a backlink and SOME TRAFFIC. First thing you need to do is get some funny/interesting pictures. Once you have those you have to upload them all to your image host. Than 3 times a day post an article on digg with a link to the image. If you are lucky enough to get dugg to the FrontPage you are looking at over 10k hits to just that image. But that’s not it, diggers have websites and they use forums. So the pictures would go viral and you would see a crazy amount of traffic. This is not something that is guaranteed but is good if you get it done. The forums should be enough to keep you happy with regards to traffic.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen. A tried and tested method that will make you money, and all you have to do is spend less than 15 minutes a day to make sure that you continue to make money. The proof is all there in the screenshots, and if you are still not able to make money with this method than you sir is a nincompoop! Also remember when you get tired of working those laborious 15 minutes a day you should be able to resell the site for 10X monthly revenue very easily.
Do You Believe in the GooGle Sandbox?
After getting a site ranked on the first page of GooGle for the terms “firefox promotion” I am starting to have doubts about this theory on sandbox promotion.
I am starting to believe that the term was something invented by frustrated SEO’s to convince clients that had sepnt 1000’s that the reason that the site is not ranking for the term “home loans” is because of the ever omnious GooGle Sandbox. What they fail to mention is that some sites get indexed and ranking for top terms WITHIN hours of DOMAIN REGISTRATION.
Yes, it is harder to get a site about “credit card repayments” ranking on the first page. The reason? First there are over 1000 credit card companies that deserve to be there before your spammy site because they actually have the qualitity content that the searcher is looking for. Obviously visa or mastercard are going to rank on the top because they are an authority/trusted site. They have people linking to them on an hourly basis for no particular reason. They have people on their site staying on their site for more than the 30 secs that they would on your site.
So there you have it ladies and gentlemem. I have officialy claimed that there is no such thing as a GooGle sandbox.
