Half The Mooney Goes To You

In July we announced that we were sharing half the wealth gathered through our advertising with the top commentator. Unfortunately this led to a commenting race between two people. Behavior we would not like to encourage. So here’s this months plan, blatantly copied from the new and hopefully improved Make Moooney tab.

Every last day of the month we are taking a look at the the top commentators section in the sidebar and we will pick 1 person at random from that. He or she gets paid half of what we made with our advertising that month. (but remember kids, spamming is bad and we will be mooderating!). That’s right, we are giving away 50% of all our ad earnings in cold hard cash to the one of the most actively commenting members of the herd! Just imagine; If we were to make only 10% of the Big Beef himself, $1200, the top cow here will get paid $600, no questions asked. How’s that for easy money online huh?

All those other money making blogs, raking in thousands of dollars each month because of their readers, give away free crap they got for free themselves in the first place. We wanted to take it to the next level and be different, thankful and generous. It’s you that pays for our monthly hosting farm and it’s you who makes our grass greener and milk fresher than on the other blogs by digging, reddit-ing, stumble-ing, del.icio.us-ing and telling your friends about us, and it’s only fair that you should get paid for all your wonderful effort and comments. We want to be your favorite cashcow!

Don’t forget you still have about 10 days to enter our fantastic competition in which we will give away $500 to one lucky winner so they can go buy a PS3, a Wii, an iPhone or whatever adds up to half a grand!

P.S. We’re still waiting for the PayPal details from CoolioJones and Mahdi Yusuf who had a tie with 199 comments each last month :shock:

That’s a great idea. I promise I won’t spam :smile:

On a side note, it’s great that the site is back. I nearly had a heart attack when I read the post on John Chow.

I like this idea too. Although I don’t really think all the comments were necessarily spam. However this works out for the best I am sure.

Great Idea! What’s with your website. Now when I log on it occasionally knocks me off. Am I the only one noticing this.

Its says internet explorer can’t open this site. Operation aborted after about 10 seconds of being on. The only way I can stay on is to click on a specific post.

There seem to be some problems indeed, we’re trying to figure it out, thanks for the heads up!

It must be his version, My version here at the golf course is just fine. Although on some blogs it screws up the sidebars (pisses me off).

Firefox is the way to go baby.

Firefox is awesome, anyone else use the media player attachment? Awesome!

I know this happens on IE6. Not sure of IE7 since the only time I use IE is when I am at work. Firefox is definitely the preferred browser for me =]

The comments should at least not be one or two words comments, thats for sure. And I don’t think there is anything wrong with commenting back and forth as long as you are commenting for commenting sake =]

I’m just glad you aren’t going anywhere, I was righteously pissed at the supposed xxxx xxxx you mentioned in “The End”.

You are one mad cow!

Yes IE6 is having problems. oddly enough the sidebar is fixed. It’s no longer at the bottom of your blog but your site kicks me off after loading too long. I have to hit the stop button. No biggie for me I’m getting back fire fox very shortly.

I did get worried when your site was redirecting to John Chow’s! Now who will give me the money I deserve from commenting?

I promise I won’t spam. :P

It’s looking ok to me in IE6, IE7, Firefox and whatever that nasty browser is that comes with the Wii.

Good idea by the way Mr Moo, this should slow down the battle for the top commentator spot.

:mrgreen:

PS

The paypal addresses you need to use for Mahdi and Coolio are :-

I have started a competition on my blog to post comments. Best comment wins $50. Its very simple to win on my site. By the way the cows are very generous to give half the money to top commentators, I would try to claim this position. But I am serious about comment contest on my site. So Post Your Comments To Win Prize

2007-08-07 17:57:43

Who chooses the best comment?

Interesting competition. Count me in.

Unfortunately, I have joined atleast 50 blog commenting competitions so far. But could never make the top poster. I believe I have better chance this time. :)

Your site says $50 review competition. Did you mean review or comment?

Great idea. If I win I’ll probably give it to charity. So, if I’m not chosen, some unfortunate child will have to go hungry . . .

Nice argument there to get yourself some money. :twisted: Joking.

Glad your site didn’t actually close down and to boot you are giving away cash! That’s better than the $20 amazon gift certificate I’m giving away on my blog…but hey you gotta start somewhere.

Cool - a competition I can understand - and after all it’s understanding that is important. So I just increased my understanding thanks to you. I doubt if I’ll increase moo wealth ’cause that depends on forces outside of moo control and I have discovered over time that such forces hate mooe.
