Did JohnChow and Problogger help you make money?

    i read their blogs when i had first blog for like a month. i read their blogs; but their posting didn't really help. what helped was the people who are leaving the comments there; most of the comments were asking very good questions to to johnchow and problogger. but they never seem to answer it, maybe they want to keep it secret. so what i had to do was search on google and it was through one of those searches i found dp forum and ended up here.

    so i thank the people who left comments there, not the people who run it. now a days, i don't wast my time visiting their blogs; i put all the time on improving my own blogs.

    anybody want to share there experience?

    i doubt reading their posts would do much, but the main questions is for anyone who advertised on their blogs, how did that do for anyone? as i was thinking of getting a post on johnchow

    i think a lot of people waste their time on these blogs; i personally have wasted a plenty of time and now when i look back i say to myself - what a sucker you have been. one thing i hated about these blogs were that they never revealed their secret earning source Text link Ads until google penalized them; often times when i was reading johnchow blog he was talking about agloco :p.
    it would have been much better if the readers just work on their own blogs and generate quality contents.

    problogger has the odd decent post

    johnchow just writes shiz about himself and does paid reviews, which doesn't really help anyone but himself.

    I hate John Chow. At first I didn't mind, but now he thinks of himself as "the king of PPC" of something like that.

    I've tried learning from those websites, and haven't had much success. I think I'm too A D D to stick with one thing. I can't stick with a niche, or a program to monetize my site. I may not be cut out for this sort of thing :)

    yeah and i can't believe it people still seem to buy into that. just few days ago, i saw his ReviewMe cost $400; it used to be $500.

    some people are still continously visiting and commenting on his blog
    i think his comment has no follow tag for urls, poor people who think they are getting some link juice. :p

    When you make more than $25,000 a month from a blog, whatever you say - COUNTS.

    I think Darren Rowse has plenty of very good advice for bloggers, if you want to invest long-term in your blog and build it up, and he is very generous with his advice. If you are just looking to earn a quick buck though, then it's not for you.

    John Chow I find quite different - pretty mercenary and greedy, and a lot of crap on his blog (like describing the Chinese meal he had?!) but he makes people want what he has, and makes his money that way...
