Posted on July 22nd, 2008 by John Cow under Contests, RamblingsWant to Learn How to Build a Business Not Just a Blog.. for FREE? CLICK HERE Now to Find Out How!
Well the day is finally here… and I think about 3, maybe 4 people have been anxiously waiting for us to let the cow out of the bag. Before we get into that however, we have some winners to announce
- Winner of the BRAND NEW KINDLE from amazon –> Barbara Baker (http://twitter.com/)
- Winner of the FREE ACCOUNT AT WHYPARK.COM –> Silla (http://twitter.com/)
- Winner of the CUSTOM BANNER from http://www.therandomforest.com and the 30 DAYS OF ADVERTISING here at JohnCow.com –> Woobie (http://twitter.com/)
- Winner of a FREE COPY OF VIDEO POST ROBOT –> Dude World Order (http://twitter.com/)
Congratulations to the WINNERS! You should have received an email from us and if not, contact us via our contact form on this page and we will set you up.
Now that this contest is over we have another good one lined up for you… and this one is 100% sponsored by us the new owners and there is a good reason for this. You see we are darn proud of this here blog and the response from you our fantastic readers is amazing. We love getting emails and seeing posts on other sites mentioning how this is a true MMO blog now!
Of course we realize that there are a few of you, who probably are not reading this right now, that do not care for the change. We have not heard as of why but we accept that we can not be liked by everyone… we do not like it.. but we accept it
Now, as for us telling you who we are, we want you to know that this is a huge relief for us to be able to finally do this. We have loads of things planned for JohnCow dot Com and by having to hide our face was making a few things a little difficult.
Ok… so are you sick of me talking yet.. well too bad
With us coming out there will be a few obvious changes right away, like the fact that I am done using “we” and “us”… this was fun at first but is now a pain in the cow pie hole. So if that is something you are going to miss.. sorry.
Another thing is we are getting a lot more stirct on our paid reviews and please stop requesting us to review your site and not mention it is a review (sorry that is a pet peave).
We also have planned to come out with some cool new toys for the John Cow readers exclusively. We are almost finished a really cool one that will help your keyword research, if you follow along the strategies I taught.
OK OK OK.. sheesh… i can hear you yelling already.
This is too fun… but I have just a couple little bits of info still to share.
- 1. We did not spend $50 000 on this blog… so those rumors can stop right now. A good rule of thumb is to pay 10x’s the monthly rev a site creates and Bob was not earning 5 grand a month.
- 2. We are not Garry Conn, John Chow, Shawn Casey, Bob Jones or someone Bob hired (that one was actually insulting)
- 3. We are actually 3 people that own JohnCow but it is only one of the owners that is the voice of JohnCow
OK, so who is it…….
ARCHON MEDIA from Houston TX
There it is, that is who it is behind JohnCow!
But wait… am I not going to reveal who the actual name is of the owners and who the one owner that is the writer is?
YUP.. but not today…. (oh how i wish you could hear my laugh right now)
But before you get all pissy on me and say that is not fair, we are going to make it very much worth your while.
First of all, for any of you who are our current customers of one of our products or memberships, you just need to look at your email and you could figure this out pretty quick. This was how Andy Beard did it and I was a little surprised more of you did not pick up on this. Of course maybe you did but since there are only 3 or 4 of you that even care about this, you probably just did not get around to saying anything
Here is what is going to happen though.
On Thursday July 24th we are going to mention the names (no tricks this time either) of who the three owners of Archon Media are and who the voice of John Cow is and we are also going to be kicking off our new contest that is focused on our new ebook “How to build a Business not Just a Blog” and the winner will win a free copy of every product we reference in this ebook that we use, which includes…
- 1. A FREE Copy of the brand new version of TrafficTravis (it is totally improved and being released next week)
- 2. A FREE copy of affiliate elite
- 3. A FREE 3 month Membership to TrafficKahuna
PLUS –> To show we really do want you to succeed, we are also including…
- 4. A one hour One on One phone call with just you and me to review your current business and brain storm ways to improve it.
- 5. A contest on JohnCow that will include YOUR SITE as the main registration criteria for entering (lots of traffic to you)
We will be announcing the new ownership to our business mailing list (which is pretty darn big) and plan to see lots of traffic pounding on these pastures and so this should be fun.
How this is going to work is Thursday we will be making the announcement and then on the following Thursday (one week from then) we are going to be making the draw. The ONLY criteria to be entered into the draw is that you have downloaded the ebook and have an active subscription… there are no other criteria needed.
If you can figure out who we are from the hints I gave, go ahead and comment on it, we will not respond to them though and any of you that know because I have talked to you… would be cool if you could just comment a hint instead of saying who it is.
So there you go.. now lets hear your comments ![]()

Haahahahahahaha…….DANG! And the plot thickens!

Not sure who it is but I can’t wait to find out!
..in the mean time I’m going to go write some articles to announce to the world who I am…aka The Big Kahuna…then, I’m going to take my nephew down to the port and feed the seagulls and look at the seals…maybe I can get a good Deal on some Dippin’ Dots if I compose a good line or comment to tell the employee behind the counter. Let’s just hope I don’t get stuck in rush hour traffic.

ohh lots of hints there
“Anxiously” waiting? Don’t they have lives lol?
Pretty cool post. I always knew it was a company behind this.
Germzs last blog post..Freelancing will pay the bills
Wow, a custom banner + adspace sounds great! Thanks!
Now on to brainstorming which of my sites to feature.
Thanks again John Cow!

EmmaBs last blog post..Need Contest Sponsors
Hey John Cow… are you Jason Potash?
Or maybe Jason Katzenback?
(Portal feeder guys, Article announcer guys, Orwell guys.)
I’ve been pretty sure of 2 of the 3 members of John Cow’s identity for a while now. I believe it’s Jason Katzenback and Jason Potash, of Portal Feeder (and all the Kahuna products) fame. I think the third name is Marc Quarles, although I’ve got less “Archon Media” email from him.
Yeh. I got their emails and they put that name on their signatures so not really good at ‘hiding’.
Oh you teasing herd!!!
Well done Woobie, just send me an email forest.parks@gmail.com and we can get the custom banner rolling and create something that will look cool on this site.
Interesting… interesting.
Can’t wait to know who is the real boss is!

First time commenting, lots o’ times reading! Just want to say, thanks. Love the e-book and love the suspense. It has me guessing and wondering!
Green & Clean Moms last blog post..Green Etiquette 101
What was the exact date that you took over the blog?
It would be funny if you changed the illustration to include the 3 of you on the day that you announce your identities. That would definitely create some bait.
Probably isn’t worth the money though. So Bob’s income on this blog really had slipped below 5K a month?
Wills last blog post..Twitter Graph
Are you those guys at Portal Feeder? You have been promoting mutually and JohnCow has interest in portal feeder’s products which many other popular bloggers haven’t even mentioned and I am in the mailing list of portal feeder and got a hint from the last mail. So, I am right?
Well, I had been thinking Jason Potash, but he’s in MI (I think), not TX, so now I’m completely lost on who the new John Cow is.
Dane Morgans last blog post..Are They Forgotten?
you made me sleepy
anyways got to know you guys soon 
narendra.s.vs last blog post..Why Hostgator is bloggers ultimate hosting choice?
The question is:
Who is Jason Potash?
The answer is:
The man behind John Cow
Here a cow, there a cow, every where a cow cow. It does not really matter who is the voice of John Cow. It is all about quality content and you deliver.
Some sites don’t remove contact informations from press releases as this one did on 8th July which already mentioned “Archon Media” in contact information. So isn’t this revelation a stale one.

Mr. Javos last blog post..Exposure Contest’s Winners!
I can hint that one of the John Cow trio’s last name can be discovered by going to Saskatchewan because this is the largest producer of __________ in the world. The other two I can deduce from some of the clues above, but none that I came up with on my own. What fun!!
Together, we are stronger.

Vicki Flaughers last blog post..SmartWoman Weekly Newsletter to Launch This Week!
Do not tell me. Is the name Jeremy?
I think it’s Jason Potash. Just do a Google search for Archon media (with quotes) and you’ll find a couple sites that belong to Archon media namely traffic kahuna, videopostrobot and DealDotCom.com which all belong to Jason. So the man is Jason Potash.
Hmm… I posted earlier and didn’t realize that you were looking for all three names so I only listed Jason Potash. After realizing you were looking for the names of all three owners I wanted to come back with a revision.
I believe the three owners are Jason Potash, Jason Katzenback, and Marc Quarles.
Maybe luck will be with me!
oooh you are a tease! lol. Congrats to all the winners! Looking forward to the new contest - and more quality content from the pastures!

Make Money Talkss last blog post..List of quality webmaster freebies - part 4/5 (Free Templates)
I would be really surprised if you are not either of Jason Katzenback and Jason Potash.
Though I would place my bid on Jason Katzenback because he is the one who paid world vision and owns email id johncowdocom@gmail.com..
Anyways jason try having a contest to guess the right name. It would be fun….
Johnys last blog post..Is it just unbelievable or……
Well, this means I’ll have to wait and read more until John Cow reveals his identity.
Hmmm, a long (and irrelevant) shot in the dark here but I’m curious to know. Since at least one of you are keen gamers, any chance you named yourselves after the classic 80s Atari game ‘Archon’?
Kick ass! I won!
Thanks Cow.

The Dudes last blog post..The Dude Game - Week 4
I agree with the answers from a couple of poster here that the three owners are Jason Potash, Jason Katzenback, and Marc Quarles. But I my vote goes to Jason Potash to be the real identity of John Cow.
Hi Silla:
Congratulations on winning the free WhyPark account. Please send an email to Craig (@) WhyPark (dot) com and you’ll be set-up with your free account.
Alan
guess im going to have to wait…
Will the real “John Cow” please stand up? I repeat, will the real “John Cow” please stand up? We’re gonna have a problem here.
Dulces last blog post..Dulcenegosyante Joins WordCamp Philippines 2008
I am guessing the three owners are Jason Potash, Jason Katzenback and Marc Quarles.
Since the katz in the back, I assume the dog is in the front, so Jason Katzenback must be John Cow.
Do cows like the Bearkats!

I just remembered something. A support member of traffic Travus said that this “new, improved” version would be free.
Or do you think he meant a free version and a paid version?
EmmaBs last blog post..Need Contest Sponsors
Aww…and now you are editing any honesty. Wait until THAT gets publicity.
huh… sorry but not sure what you are talking about Mike? Is there something that we did to piss you off?
Oh wait, you were the Mike whose comment was a complete bullcrap excuse for you not being able to use our system and training. Sorry but that is not something that we like to publish when someone tries to blame our other tools for them not being successful, people are making money using our procedures but not you.. thats not our fault.. especially when i know you never even tried them. We do not moderate things unless it is blatant spam or someone just being an idiot… guess which one you were.
We honor all refunds and I hope you were able to get one… wish we could make everyone happy but some people just never are.
Maybe you can read the past 3 months of posts here and actually learn something.
As for moving on… nope still involved and loving it in everything else.
Oh and if you want to spread some bull crap around elsewhere… go ahead and spend you time doing that.. bugs me not. We would rather spend time on building our business so don’t expect us to get involved..
Are you guys Barney Spender & Nick Malkoutzis?
