AhReview: The Review King’s last blog post..Blogging to Bank: Make Money Blogging!!

Don’t listen to him! I think you have a great blog well deserving of far more readers than you have… I always read yours before Chows.

To be completely honest, I used to be a huge fan and looked up to you as a creative blogger. Back when you were using your “leached” traffic and making it actually entertaining. Yes, you were leaching traffic with the name, basically one big link bait. But your content was creative and funny enough to make ti worth it. You used to be good.

But then you decided to take yourself too serious and consider yourself a real marketer and changed the theme of the blog…which was probably just after you were trying to sell on sitepoint. I can see the motivation, to make more money by running it, but you lost that part that made this blog stand out. Since then you have had very little new and creative content that you actually wrote. The rest of the stuff was a lot of guest bloggers, a lot of self promotion and a lot of regurgitated info.

I guess it’s more me just being sad that you gave up on what made this blog good and why I used to be here every day. Yes, you are right, you were “good enough” to get me to come by and write a couple long post (which I do all the time lol) but you are mistaken to think I’m still a regular reader. I do stop in every few weeks to see if anything has changed but it only looks worse and worse every time. You can check the logs if you want.

By “no offense intended” I didn’t mean to take shots directly at you, just what the blog has become. Like I said, I used to really enjoy your writing and creativity and was a regular reader and commenter. I respected what you were doing since you had the content to back you up. Not so much now.

We’re not acting like we’re special.

We’re not ‘taking a shot’ at your blog, simply ‘returning the favor’ by stating our observation.

Our blog is for fun too, perhaps not as 30th for revenue, but hey.

When did we leach traffic off Chow, and did we really have any talent to start with?

We’re just puzzled as to why you had a sudden urge to judge us in a nasty comment, where the words “no offense intended” seemed to be misplaced in between all the down talking.

You say we lost our mojo a long time ago, yet you’re obviously still reading us, and take the time to leave 100+words comments, what’s your real intention?

I’m just saying you did your best work back when you were less serious about your self and didn’t believe your own silly hype. Back when you leached off chow to get traffic, and deserved it because you actually had some talent back then and were funny. Not so much now.

But if it makes you feel better to pretend then that is fine.

You already tried to sell the site once so why not sell now. You know while the traffic is still reasonable rather than wait until it dies off more? Maybe then you would have time to make some real money rather than just selling adsense templates and copying ideas and selling on hype.

But whatever. This blog stopped being a good read when you started taking yourself too serious and believed your own hype.

Then, do this all over again by creating a parody on another big industry name.

Maybe MooMoney.com?

It sounds like a tough decision, but totally up to you of course.

Zero and Up’s last blog post..I Restrain From Blogging On April Fool’s Day

There is nothing to sell, the blog is you, your personality and your style. That’s why people come to it. If it was more than a blog, say a whole content management system with forums, maybe.

As far as hiring someone to write full time, it would have to be many someones. One person can’t do it, that’s the equivelant of selling it. If one person were willing, they would likely start their own blog.

“I was like.. Wow. Way to linkbaited and get a virus Brad -.- ”

Good luck with your move to Australia
