JohnCow.com Sold for $50,000, That’s A Lot of Moooney!
written by Anthony Dinh
Just 9 months after the JohnChow.com parody blog was launched, JohnCow.com has sold for the BIN price of $50,000 on April 13, 2008, only 36 hours after it was posted for sale on Sitepoint.
The author was not very specific on what prompted the sale, but only offered that he will be relocating from Europe to Australia, and that he will be too busy with his personal life to continue feeding the “cashCOW”. One thing’s for sure, he’ll be moooing all the way to the bank!

Moms Cash Blog Sold - Goodbye Krysti, Hello…JJ?
written by Anthony Dinh
YEP, you heard it here folks! It’s official, ownership of Moms Cash Blog has changed hands, effective Monday, April 28, 2008, 72hrs after the sale was announced. Krysti, aka “Mom”, received over 100 bids and after interviewing a few prospects, she finally settled on a buyer. Although the sale price has not been disclosed, Mom states that she could have made out a little better monetarily, but that finding the right candidate was of utmost importance.The new proud owner, JJ, is a middle-aged woman who has been trying her hands on blogging and making money online since January of this year, but without much success, according to Krysti.
Moms Cash Blog started out as a hobby, Krysti says, but it has evolved into a cash cow in the 6 months that it has been operational. Still an infant in terms of web years, the blog has a Google PR4 ranking, and is ranked at 152,000 on Alexa. Having already established a loyal following, there’s still some great potential for Moms Cash to make some huge profits in the future. Currently, the blog generates a generous income through affiliate links, PPC, Google Adsense, videos and tutorials, to name a few. With this purchase, the new owner will receive 1 year of paid hosting, established affiliate connections and Krysti’s own secret money makers.
The motivation to sell, Mom says, is here daughter who is going through an important stage in her life. I bid Mom farewell, and wish her all the best in her many other online ventures. JJ surely has some big shoes to fill, let’s see if she’s got what it takes to nuture Moms Cash into its toddler stage, or will it languish at the inexperienced hands of its newbie owner and eventually disappear?

To Follow, or Not To Follow, That is the Question
written by Anthony Dinh
By default, the rel=”nofollow” attribute is enabled in Wordpress for pingback, trackback and comments to prevent spamming of your comments section. With this enabled, you will also in effect, be denying other bloggers the ability to place a link in your comments section when they link to one of your posts.
So, instead of penalizing readers who actually leave comments worth reading or who have legitimately linked to your post, why don’t we reward them for their time and for contributing to your blog traffic by showing them some link love? If your blog is moderated and you have spam filters such as Akismet enabled, then you should feel at ease that your blog is well protected.
To enable DoFollow, download the plugin from Kimmo.Suominen.com and save it to your wp-content/plugin directory. Next, enable the plugin through your admin panel. You should now see a DoFollow subpage under the settings tab. From here, you can configure how you want this feature to behave by limiting it to comments that older than x days, or by visitor or registered user. Additionally, you can configure these settings at the post level as well if you wanted to get that granular.

Slick Way to Boost Your RSS Feed and Quadruple Quality Backlinks - MLM Style
written by Anthony Dinh
I just stumbled upon an ingenious way of increasing your RSS readership while improving your Technorati ranking via quality backlinks on Infectedbybugs.com, an SEO/SEM/blogging site with great content authored by the young and intelligent, Shannon Lilly. This MLM style of backlink building was initially “patented” by our friends over at JohnCow dot Com back in July 2007, so if both of these authorities endorse it, I’m definitely going to try it and I hope you do too!
To achieve this, simply follow these 3 easy steps and watch as your RSS subscriptions and backlinks skyrocket!
STEP1
First, copy the list of URLS and RSS subscription links below.
STEP2
Then, write a post similar to the one I’ve written here, and paste the copied list.
STEP3
Next, add your own URL and RSS links to the top of the list along with those of a few of your friends’ blogs.
Imagine, if just 5 of your friends followed this same steps, and then 5 of their friends did the same… you would get quality backlinks for sure the next time the list was posted, and you may also gain some new subscribers as well! Before you know it, hundreds of people are subscribed and linked to your blog, thanks to a little system called MLM.
Remember, more RSS readers and backlinks = more traffic and higher ranking! These two combined = more $ making opportunities (reviewme, payperpost, sponsoredreviews, private ad sales, etc.)!
