DISQUS

I am really looking forward to the new program. I love payperpost and really feel this will be better.

I agree that you can survive without google and make up for it with traffic from the other smaller search engines and social sites. Good luck with your experiment. I look forward to reading about it along the way.

Thanks for the great review. You have made some great observations. Actually just yesterday I moved over to my own domain. YES!

In regards to what does Cman stand for here are a few posts. I actually ran a contest in august for folks to guess what it was. Here are a few links.

I agree completely. I have gotten some emails from readers complaining I don't write enough about exactly how I make my money online. I'm like you it is obvious that they really didn't do much browsing of my articles.

I agree with this percentage breakdown to a point. Here is how I would probably break it down. Let me know your practice or what you would recommend to a new blogger.

I would recommend closer to 90/10 for about the first month. This is so that you can build up a foundation of quality content before you start your marketing and networking push.
After that I would drop to the 80/20 for about another month. Put a little more emphasis on building relationships and networking with other bloggers, while still placing the most focus on quality content.
Now that you have a good foundation of content the percentage would be closer to 60/40 for a while say 2-3 months. Still having more emphasis on quality content, but really starting to push your marketing efforts and spending more time networking with other bloggers and your blog readers.
You should by now have a pretty good foundation of content, a feel for blogging, a good network in the blogging community, and a decent size and growing readership. This is the time to once again take the percentage to 80/20. Now keep the focus on your blog content and on your readers, with less time spent on reading other blogs, networking and marketing.

Maybe the "C" stands for cow not chow??

It certainly doesn't stand for horse wormer! :)

??? I know you are probably wondering, "what the heck?" ??

Well since I won this contest I thought I would let you know about mine. click my name, see my blog, enter the contest. it really is that simple. You can also find out what the heck I mentioned horse wormer. :)

I love cows.

I finally win something. And not just some stupid sh-t but cash, a review and a link!!

Long live the methane moogul!

I am also running a contest by the way. I'm giving away $100 dollars to the person that can guess what the C stands for. If nobody guesses correctly I'm still giving away $20 to the randomly drawn winner of the losers!

Yours truly C "C has to stand for Chow" Man

Some good points even if I did have to wade through some typographical errors :) Really I actually enjoyed the post and visited the authors blog as a result. Thanks Mr. Cow, Sir, for delivering this tasty new milk flavor to us today.

i really haven't been using stumbleupon much but like you after reading darren's post and doing a bit more research really see this as a long term traffic source.

John Chow is at least transparent. He has from the beginning said that he is all about making money from his blog.

It is those people who are sneaky and dishonest that bother me not john chow.
