Well thanks for this spam but I appreciate all the free stuff the old John Cow used to give us. I think if we’re here we’re pretty serious about blogging.

I gotta agree with him Cow, this post was pretty much spam. The rest of your posts, now that I think of it are the same, too. Their low quality and you barely ever give us useful information on how to succeed online… Your crappy organization of posts and sloppy method of delivering information to us is quite annoying. It seems in every post all you do is try to sell us crap.

You disappoint me Mr. Cow.

>_>

<_<

Can’t wait for those contest details. Sounds exciting.

As long Cow gives something for nothing, ‘ts gooood.

We all know what spam means. And for those who misuse the term in these above posts…there’s nothing we can do, “udder” than roll our eyes and keep on truckin’.

The old john cow used to always start his posts with “sorry this is another paid review, but we have to pay the bills….” so this new cow saying something about yaro’s promotion and the stuff about using contests and google tools to improve your blogging is way better.

evilwoobies last blog post..Dating Could Save Your Sanity

This might end up an interesting discussion. I was following your blog (John Cow) since the COWpetition started because I was curious how to make an otherwise stagnating blog a more business-like enterprise.

I think earlier we got used to get information and good ideas on your blog in your own words - not only “value” but valueable content. Now with this very last post I also had the impression that it is simply an affiliate sales page, nothing more. In the last couple of weeks I was working for a client setting up an affiliate site and blog, so I had to visit tens and tens of affiliate sites, sales pages, OTO pages etc. Reading this latest post I had the feeling I am visiting one of those sites, not the clever, insightful blog of JC. Sorry.

Now let me make it clear: there is nothing wrong in a sales page, per se. Internet affiliate marketing and all the tricks and sales pitches, the rethorics etc. are here to stay - it is a big business, I understand that. For those who do it well, seemingly, it works.

However, you have treated your readers and subscribers differently till now and, I assume, this sudden “turn” into pure salesmanship from blogger… might annoy some of your readers. Some will unsubscribe and they will even criticize you. Get used to it. And there is nobody else that you can blame: you have built an image of this blog and yourself - and now it seems you are going to deconstruct that.

Actually, that was exactly the reason I was afraid to turn my blog suddenly into a serial sales page.

I hope you don’t call everybody a “smart ass” just because posting an honest opinion.

shawals last blog post..Take Advantage of the Aussie Dollar Discount

First off, let me say that I think the audio is great. Thanks.

If I can perhaps then take an impartial overview of the discussion I think the problem that has occurred is the inclusion of the audio clips withinin the post. If you had transcribed the audio and posted it as text within the post, how much great content would that look like?

It would be pages and pages long. I am sure you would be getting lots of comments now saying that the post was great and was full of really good, useful information about blogging online.

Then, the addition of the affiliate link would have been seen as fair play, as it would have looked like just a small part of the post, most readers would not have questioned it.

Because all that great free content is ‘hidden’ under the audio link I think some readers have seen the post as purely a sales pitch and as such a departure from your usual informative packed posts.Of course they are wrong, there is just as much useful info in the post as ever, if not more.

However, when I first read the post it did look a little blunt. Half way down it seems to suddenly mention Blogging Mastermind from nowhere. I think this is because, like I did, most people will read the whole post before listening to the audio, so it then feels a little like you are reading a sales plug and nothing else. I think maybe that’s why there have been a few negative comments about the post.

Just my thoughts!

Personally I think the audio is great, I think Yaro is very good and I subscribe to his excellent blog. Whilst I can’t purchase Yaro’s product right now and yes I have been hit with many affiliate links for it in my inbox too, that’s par for the course. People have got to earn a living!! That’s the game we’re in!!

But look at the bigger picture. The trend of Internet Marketing today is to give out loads of fantastic, free content before and in between the sales pitches. As readers and students of IM we’ve never had it so good!! And with that in mind, for me this is one of my must read blogs. Good work Mr Cow!

Steves last blog post… Making crafts creative - 5 ways to improve your creativity

This is interesting to say the least. I didn’t think much of it since a lot of bloggers do this; we all need a little cash flow every now and again. I don’t know why so many people are becoming furious since nearly all bloggers do it only they word their post a little differently. No foul play and no harm done.

Gaje Masters last blog post..John Cow get’s slammed by commentors

Cow,

I am new and appreciate the info I gather here from your site. I have been thinking about Yaros offer the last couple of days and your offer sure makes a good deal even sweeter. Keep up the good work and pay no attention to trolls.

LPlak, Ralph, Moshu - you guys don’t get it. I will spell it out to you:

1. Start a blog about how to make money online.

2. Tell people how to do something pretty simple like niche keyword research

(make sure your example is golf, dog training or credit cards)

3. Make money by sending people via an affiliate link to another blog/site/course about how to make money online.

4. Go to step 2.

Hey Mr. Cow,

Thanks for showing us how to turn content and a great blog into a cash earning blog. How could we know your system works if you didn’t show us right?

lets see now, keywords, show me the money

great content

great link bait examples

start converting your efforts. (guess you were telling us the truth about some complaining, but I appreciate the examples)

I am a gota see it type guy, so keep up the good work, I will keep my feet planted here and learn.

Wow - looks like the mob (moo-b) are out to lynch you Mr Cow

I need to start adopting the art of affiliate posts, relying solely on adsense is becoming a tad tiresome. $1/day whoopee.

However… It’s a fine line between offering your readers quality information and also pushing/promoting affiliate links. Just make sure you don’t saturate your readers with too much product promos.

Regards

revenues last blog post..Yuwie Social Networking Site that Pay You

Hi,

First, I have gotten some great info via this and some of the other channels you have. Thanks for that.

Not saying you didn’t do this, just some thoughts I see as good ideas:

An affiliate disclosure page, on the about or as a separate page.

Information about the nature of the subscription; before opt-in, or during the opt-in process– like in the 2x opt-in e-mail or at the subscribed page.

Once launched, I have even considered creating a quick- load graphic for html newsletters or blog posts that further identifies post nature or a section:

loose examples only but

like editorial, promotional, informational etc. Over-kill? I duh know….

Again thanks for some great content, some over-the-top bonus offers and some pretty cool and robust contests!

Hey John, 1st and foremost this is your blog and you are free to do whatever you want, sales letter or not. 2nd, Yaro’s program is a good program, and it is like Steve said: “The trend of Internet Marketing today is to give out loads of fantastic, free content before and in between the sales pitches.” I see it everywhere, and many bloggers will duplicate it. However, there should be no shame in promoting a product you believe in, one that has paid you. It seems to me, you are sharing an opportunity with your readers. Since many of them are seeking ways to make money online. John all you did was recommend a product that is not scamming people out of money. What’s wrong with that?

hey just started a new blog and thanks for the mp3 i listened to it its full of great content and read your book last week and started a blog this week now listened to the mp3 and going to take my blog to the next level.

Congrats! You are definitely a master of starting heat-it-up discussions. This is what really matters, not that you are promoting Yaro’s course. C’mon guys, don’t we all know about Yaro’s course already?

I think that Steve got it right straight off when he said “If you had transcribed the audio and posted it as text within the post, how much great content would that look like? ”

Otherwise, both your post and Yaro’s post recommending that one comes here are worth the effort. It has been more interesting here because of the heat generated here.

rummusers last blog post..Love Marriages Vs Arranged Marriages

What’s the problem!

SPAM is just a meat derivative anyway.

I can’t listen the audio caus my PC is very ol wtihout audio material.

However, since You are mastering the blog, It’s a really MMO blog. So, if some don’t understand that in a MMo blog they teach to make money and try to make it the same time they are missing the picture.

How do they believe that their teacher will make money with is blog ? Only with adsense ? Not every one who is Shoemoney with his big check.

You’re doing a very goooooooooooooooooooooood job. Truly, you’re my N°1 MMO teacher, before all the crowd.

Rodney SANKINKAs last blog post..Seo pour les commentaires sur Blogger

hi!

I just downloaded the audio and i might listen to it after i post a comment. And i just found you on Blogger Face-off in JohnTp.com and i think you did great. Anyway, i hope you display or give us info on your money sources. I want to hear it from you.

Money Making and Blogging Tips

charless last blog post..Blog Educate | Google Translate your blogs

I have to disagree with those who state your blog has turned into a splog. There has been more content here since you took over as the new owners than there was before. In fact, I think the old John Cow was constantly trying to sell stuff to his readers.

If you don’t like the content, then unsubscribe. I don’t think it’s that difficult to figure out.

Bcarters last blog post..Why I Haven’t Updated about Q’s Gambling Problem

Podcasts are time consuming. Transcripts are much better. If you could provide one (deleting all the politeness stuff and concentrating on the content) I’d be grateful. Thanks.

I have a smattering of knowledge and am anxious to set up sites that would earn residual money … I like the Garry Conn idea of having 100 sites earning the $30 a month … nice pocket money if you can get it.

I am willing to put the work in …. and slog from site 1 to 100 etc.

I’m almost sold on Yaro … but am unsure how he would help me further my ‘blog empire’ with his course …..

I would willingly pay the full amount to have instant access but …. I need more convincing.

I have the hosting, I have the adsense ready WP themes …. I even have some dormant domain names …. the selecting of niches and the writing/sourcing of content and the monetising (other than adsense) overwhelms me.

Information overload comes to mind ….. I would gladly pay to be guided on a direct route to earning money online.

Can Yaro help me? My impression (having watched his 25 min video) is that it’s a focus on a single blog ….. and all effort goes into that.

Does Yaro focus on niche selection? Use of keywords? etc.

I’m in Ireland …. if I focus on Ireland do I cut my revenue prospects immediately?

Cow …. sort me out once and for all …. I reckon twud be worth the price of a pint of Guinness!

Paddy Bloggits last blog post..Psalm 23 - The Computer Version!

Hi Paddy,

I’m a graduate of Yaro’s course. He focuses on building one authority site.

He does cover stuff about identifying niches, keywords etc.

You could apply these to building lots of smaller blogs. But this isn’t his main focus. You might also like to check out Caroline Middlebrook.

i finally get it, you guys create some weak sites that get us losers to pay you for the current “hot items” which never work but only in theory. so, the few make the money online based on selling ideas only!! wow, what a business!! i need to get together some weak product that SOUNDS good and sells and thats it! not really any actually good ideas!!

Regardless …. I’m sold!

I am a regular reader of John Cow, I have followed the Cowpetition with interest, I have discovered Garry Conn and Caroline Middlebrook and I am quite happy to accept the credentials of all (including Yaro) ….

I will be signing up for Yaro’s course tomorrow ….

My confidence in earning a reasonable living from the internet has been boosted by John Cow and his equals. Thanks Cow!

One criticism ….. your posts can get very technical at times … not great for a guy who’s not naturally a techie …. I learn the hard way …. repetition … repetition and more repetition.

The whole notion of adsense alternatives, affiliates etc. drives me into information overload shock. Each time I read a new blog post it seems that new affiliates have been born …. these days every Tom, Dick and Mary seems to be lauding the plaudits of Performance Ads … ??!!?**

Your new motto …. ‘Slow down John Cow!’

Paddy Bloggits last blog post..A change of direction

I’m a big believer in earning full time income through blogging.

It’s all comes down to this, when you’ve done your due diligence and have found an opportunity that you think you’re confident about, your next step would be to ask yourself that how serious are you with it.

Thanks for all the great comments about me and my program here, I really appreciate it.

I hope you got something from the interview between me and Jason too - there’s some good ideas in the call and it only costs you your time to listen.

Jason - it’s impressive that you take the time to respond to people who leave “troll” comments - that shows how dedicated you are to this blog. Other people would just delete those types of comments or at least ignore them.

Yaros last blog post..John Cow and Yaro Starak Talk Blogging

Wow…how’d I miss this one lol

I don’t know man…I don’t see how people can call this spam, or get upset. People always want free stuff man I guess. I don’t see anything wrong with it, Yaro has a great course and I believe in it fully as well.

Would someone prefer that you cleverly “hide” the affiliate promotion? I’m a believe in being upfront. So your approach is a good one.

Keep up the good work Cow.
