You came into the world on December 1 1995, evolving after 5 years from “The Wired World of John Chow”. Readers were later to find that your gestation period was a long one, with the John Chow dot com name being born many years earlier. You were welcomed into the world by an older sister The Tech Zone. 64 comments from readers greeted your first post, most of which were appreciative.
By the end of your second month, it was written that you were advertising free and not making any money. The writing may have been on the wall however, as the same article noted another blogger making $4700 per month from google adsense.
Another month goes by and on February 28 2006 your readers are treated to photos of the Chevrolet Z06 - what else would a dot com mogul aspire to own.
The months tick by and while your pages are largely filled with the miscellaneous ramblings of a dot com mogul, articles related to making money online are becoming more prominent. These include - how often should you update?; google don’ts and hot weather = lower income
By August 15 2006 you were the No 1 dot com mogul and by the September 29 2006 your google page rank was 4.
October 2006 saw a further move towards the idea of making money online with a four week trial part time blogging, full time income. Adsense revenue for the first week of the trial was $179.
In December of 2006, the first batch of the review my blog contestants made the news. This has been a very popular addition to your pages and continues today in a modified format.
December also saw the first anniversary of the first post. The title of this groundbreaking article - His banana is bigger than my bananas and features a MC Hammer dancing banana from a rival blogger.
2007 has seen a continuation of the focus on making money online. You offer a wide variety of advice to fellow bloggers on all aspect of making money from blogging and you are taking many blogs along for the ride in your quest for readers, page hits and advertising revenue.
John Chow dot com - this is your life.
