I just checked out that JohnChow.com is nowhere for the his famous search query "make money online" on Google. Though other search engines are still showing him on the front page.
Its an old News .. yes he has been penalized because of offering the removal of nofollow tag from the comments on paying his some $$
Yep.. and its been quite sometime since that happened http://www.johnchow.com/its-all-about-pushing-the-limit/ But Google has re-ranked him according to the latest posts
yes he got slapped down my the G for buying text links and using money to get people to link to him just found out that JohnCow.com is shutting down due to copyright crap...
Hmm, i wonder if the post they made on johncow.com is made up. As i'm pretty sure i remember a post on johnchow's blog saying he thought what they were doing was cleaver. But iono
Why he got banned just sell paid links. There are so many people on sales links on link salesof DP. It means "link sales" DP member will be ban?
I don't think that is the reason, nofollow thing is old news and he was still ranking very well even after that. After that penalty he was back on SERPs by doing some "sitemap" trick. But he has been slapped again, i don't know whether it has happened from today only or from days back. Where did you hear that copyright thing from? Oh, was it really? I heard JohnCow was on sale..
This teaches us that google is begining to dictate us the rules , they gave us some tips as much as they wanted , now they want to orientate us to the way they want.Power is like this
he got a penalty by google and he has not managed to work around with it. for starters, John Chow and John cow are different. PERIOD!
