68. Earn Money Online With John Chow Dot Com

At last, I've decided to write a review about John Chow Dot Com. I can't remember how exactly I found out John Chow Dot Com but if I'm not mistaken, maybe I knew this site when I'm started blogging around April 2007. As an introduction, John Chow Dot Com is a blog discussing about cars, fine dining, technology, the net and the most wanted topic which is make money online.

I never meet John Chow face to face but I think John Chow is a kind person according to his friendly post and this quote which I found in John Chow Dot Com.

John Chow, a damn fine person, friend of the community, Ultimate Fighting Championship contestant, member of the Save the Whales Foundation, the man who controls the black market on baby seal pelts and member of the “probably yo’ daddy” foundation.

Right now, he is offering a free linkback to those who review his blog. For me as a newcomer in blogsphere, this is totally a great deal if I get a valuable link from his PR6 blog. By the way, John Chow dot com has more than 5000 RSS readers which shows that he has his own follower and his posts is read by many people.

For your information, John Chow also go by the nick name "Moto", named after the old video game Moto Racer. He lives in Vancouver, Canada and before discovering the internet, he was a partner in a local Richmond printing company. John Chow has been in the internet since 1999 with his technology site and he claim himself as a master of The Techzone and TTZ Media Network.

I like to read John Chow's posts about AGLOCO and right now he has more than 20000 referrals sign up in his network so far. In fact, I learned something everytime I visit his blog. Some of my favorite posts includes:

1. Making Money With Domain Names

62. The Viewbar Released!

It's been two weeks I didn't write about AGLOCO (What is AGLOCO?) since my last post about an exclusive 'Link Train' for all AGLOCO Members. The Official AGLOCO Blog has finally been updated. In the updated, Brian mainly talked briefly about releasing the Viewbar (What is the Viewbar?). He said that AGLOCO's Team has finally solved the ad server problem and the Viewbar will be launch this Monday (Tuesday in Asia).

We have made a workaround regarding the ad server problem and we will finally be launching the Viewbar. Some, but not all, of our ad networks will be connected. These networks have enough ads on them, so we are comfortable releasing the software as we continue to work on the outstanding issues that remain with the other networks. All of the preliminary Viewbar functions are there, but with the ad problems we will not be initially launching with the personalized ad
targeting. We will continue to develop this capability after we have launched and when it is available the new version of the software will be incorporated into your viewbar automatically.

Brian also mentioned about the Viewbar that will be launch is the first version (V1.0) and it will be an automatically self updating software. This is the whole post by Brian Greenwald (AGLOCO Development Team) in the Official AGLOCO Blog.

Remember that this is the first version of the Viewbar (v1.0), and with the Viewbar being automatically self-updating software, gradual improvement (both aesthetically and functionally) will appear seamlessly (you also have an option to turn off this feature and ask for updates manually, though we recommend leaving the auto-updating feature active so that you always have the latest software as improvements are made).

This weekend the Viewbar download is being moved from the test servers to the main servers. We will NOT need to temporarily take down the web site as we had thought, so we will not be sending out an email warning on that. If the transfer goes smoothly, the first download
emails will be going out Monday morning California time (early Tuesday in Asia).

Please remember:

If you have a Norton firewall you may be asked to allow access to “viewbar.exe” and “update.exe” (please check “Permit Access Always” for proper installation of the Viewbar).

The Viewbar is currently available for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista and will work with IE (Internet Explorer) or Firefox browsers.

I’m sure you are all just as ready for the Viewbar release as we are!

60. Review On Ja Kel Daily Dot Com

Hello friends and all readers, this is actually my first review for a PR5 sites, Ja Kel Daily Dot Com. To be honest, I'm not too good in doing a site's review. I have to admit this but I will try my best to improve my writing skill from time to time. Okay, I will write a review which covers certain aspect; the author/authors info, type of sites/blogs and graphical user interface (GUI).

The author of Ja Kel Daily Dot Com, Jason loves to blog and is offering to link to your blog if you review his blog. So, I do get a linkback as exchange for this review. Hopefully a linkback from this PR5 site will boost up my blog's rank in Technorati and Alexa Dot Com.

A little bit about the author, Jason was married and a loving father to a daughter (Layla) and a son (Tate). What I got from my first impression is Jason likes Ferrari and he blogging about investing, make money online, cars, his personal life, wordpress plugin, the net and technology.

In terms of graphical user interface, Ja Kel Daily Dot Com using 2 columns with neatly arranged menu and plugin. This site is rather user friendly and it's easy for me to browse from one post to another looking for my interest, make money online and FREE stuff.

I recommend you to be a regular visitor to Ja Kel Daily Dot Com because it's worth to read Jason's posts. If you don't have time, consider to subscribe to the RSS feed and you will get the latest post via email. Last but not least, I love the quote of Jason's site : "No Limitations Just You And Your Keyboard".

What is AGLOCO? Get the information about this Internet Revolution HERE!

Yesterday, I got another 2 emails from Nuffnang (What is Nuffnang?) mentioning about incoming advertisements on my blog, Project AGLOCO. The advertiser, Sportsplanet have choose to advertise in my blog from 3rd of June until 30th of June 2007. Wow, it's about a month and I hope these campaigns will increase my earnings in the Nuffnang's account.

Image 1: Screenshot for my first email from Nuffnang

Image 2: Screenshot for my second email

In addition, I have checked out new information from Nuffnang Official Blog and found out that starting on 3rd of June 2007, every blog in the Nuffnang Community will be served a paid ad. This is what Nuffnang's admin said in the latest post:

New Advertiser Campaigns - Starting from this Sunday just about every blog in the Nuffnang Community will be served a paid ad. We will also be rolling out our first Cost Per Click campaigns where bloggers will be paid anywhere from RM0.50-RM5 per click, depending on the advertiser. Also expect to see a number of Cost Per Action schemes on our network in time to come. As with the rest of the campaigns we run, our advertisers pay only for unique visitors originating from Malaysian IP addresses and clicks but the Cost Per Action scheme will be independent of the country’s unique visitors.

New Events - We’ve received a number of complaints from bloggers in North Malaysia that we haven’t yet had a Nuffnang event there. Along with a panel of Nuffnangers, we’re already finalizing the works of a blogger event to be held up in Penang by the end of June. To the Nuffnangers in East Malaysia, don’t pack your bags… we’ll be there before you know it.
