I do not know which webmaster forums you visit, but the ones I visit regularly could not care less about those two individuals. I too am interested in what Joel C and J Cow have to write about, but not what they look like from day to day. That picture is just an image of two men close to each other. I do not see any adsense tips on that picture. So unless you are a gay male or really hate big booty, I think a picture of JLO would be much more interesting than that of Joel Comm from a visual and business perspective. Maybe that is just me. My curiosity is why would you be so interested in a picture that does not educate, entertain nor inform of two men close to each other? Jennifer Lopez makes many many times more money than Joel Comm and John Cow put together. So you can probably learn more about marketing from JLO than Joel Comm. Joel Comm makes most of his money from selling get rich products. He made a lot from adsense during the scraper years. He is very good at marketing himself and his products, but that doesn't mean I want to salivate over his picture. Horses for courses. Many more pictures of him at some conference here: joelcomm dot com/. Go spoil your yourselves.
Nicely said. I dont like or adovocate excessive symbolism. On DP, some people are to extreme about john chow. Wonder if they treat him as god. Got a wallpaper on their desktop and pray everyday/ bow down twice each day lol If you learn something from a affiliate marketer or adsense expert, good appreciate his effort, but talking about the same guy and his same achievement over and over again is nothing but plain stupidity. Rather invest that time in learning something new. Neither joel nor john will ever tell you their secrets, what they tell you is not gonna make you a millionaire overnight. If at all that was true, everyone who read joel's book would have been a millionaire today lol Joel is a good marketer no doubt about that. John was ONCE a good blogger.
I've been sat here salivating over this picture for about an hour. I still find myself doing so...does this make me....strange?
Wow, all the discussion.. how flattering. First of all, I have not put on weight. I shaved the mustache/goatee combo which on one hand makes me look younger, but on the other makes my face fatter. It's true, I need to lose about 30 pounds, but I've been like this for years. Not true. I do make money selling products, but my content sites also do very well. I also make a lot of money as an affiliate marketer. And for the record, while I dabbled with scraper sites a few years back, I never made any real money with them. My AdSense money has always, and continues to come from, content sites. If you believe otherwise, you are terribly mistaken. Joel P.S. - John Chow is a real nice guy!
I had no interest in this photo, but had to jump in and comment. What a bunch of geeks! I might show this to my girlfriend just to prove that there really are bigger geeks than me!
