Today I stumbled on a blog called JohnCow.com and was surprised to see the design of the blog because I am daily reader of JohnChow.com and very well familiar with his blog design. It was after some pondering that I found the ‘h’ missing in the domain . It is JohnCow and not the actual JohnChow. And this guy seems to go very well without an H.

You should never judge this domain as spam and I have reasons for that. It took me months to find a good domain name for my blog (nofullstop.com) and this guy must have also done lots of work before JohnCow hit with “this” idea. If I say that he isn’t a spammer then I am not wrong because he has written good posts and his ideas can many times be used for making money online.

He also somehow seems to have some some connection with the web hosting company www.micfo.com which gives away $500 in Mr. John’s contest.
John Cow seems to love the letter ‘o’ and gives extra emphasis to it many times. Like while copying the punch line from the original owner he uses ‘Moooguls’ instead of Mogul . All the menu buttons on the top are in the same order as in the original website. And here too the word “money” is spelled as “mooney”!

In just 2.5 months he has earned around 400 feed subscribers and offers advertising in his blog for half the the price at which it is offered on JohnChow.com. After John Chow was banned by Google this Mr. Cow has his blog listed at number six for the search keyword John Chow in Google search. Traffic traffic traffic!

All in all nice idea to start a blog. Atleast he his getting the recognition to his “good” blog articles by just removing an ‘H’ I am still craving for traffic and feed subscribers just because I am trying to be honest

Currently he seems to run a contest and I am very much sure I do not have any chance of winning it after the kind of article I have written for him but still I will give it a shot. I have already linked to the links the contest requires one to link to and here goes my idea of what I will do with $500 (which gets converted to around Rs20000 here in India)

• First show the money to my parents so that they believe it that yesss! I am not waisting my time at my blog.
• Get a cool new unique blog template.
• Party with friends.
• Give away $100 in a contest in my blog.
• Store the rest. Building my bank balance (And I can actually do all that with $500 once converted to Indian Rupees.)

Long live JohnCow and long live JohnChow.

Here are few domains who are doing actual spam work just because there domains are similar to JohnChow:

• http://www.jhonchow.com/
• http://www.jhoncow.com/

And by the way http://www.jhonchow.net/ and http://www.jhoncow.net/ are still unregistered if someone wants to indulge in spamming.
