Nicely done. You have proven once again that quality traffic matters and the way you get it is by having quality content. More importantly, I think you are writing about what you want to write about and not blogging about making money just to make money. Keep it up.

Yes, you will need the increase in cash flow since the dollar keeps declining with respect to the euro. You also need to make up for that.

You should donate your 50% to charity, rather than your readers.
You are still making $1500+/m from this blog, as well as your $5800+ from MEW. I think you can spare a nice donation. I suggest kiva.org

Not that you need any help but I'm one of your TLA advertisers and to date you've been by far my best value for money. If you're looking for an affordable TLA link that referrs visitors then the Cow is the place to be.
As the cows "unemployed" I think its fine that he didnt give a portion to a reader.

You berated Tyler for trying to make $150 off his readers?
Well you just went back on a published offer to give $1,669.20 to your readers by saying you aren't gonna give away half your month's earnings. Sure, you're gonna give them a $200 review free, but they're still losing out on $1,469.20 - almost TEN TIMES the amount you screwed at Tyler for cheating his readers out of.
Now, I'm betting quite a few were followers of this blog because of that prize money - I'm betting they feel quite scammed. Hypocrites.
Andy Spark

*Cough*hypocrites*cough*: "Just imagine us telling whoever wins the $500 cash competition that it didn’t go as well as we’d like and we’re deciding to keep $400 for ourselves. We’d end up on someones BBQ for sure!"
Andy Spark
· 2 years ago
Ok, I just re-read it and realized you were only giving away half of your ad earnings, not the total month's earnings. Yes, I'm triple posting but I know that you would hit back at me for misquoting the $1,500 I said earlier anyway.
However, the point is still very much there - you pretended to give away a one prize then suddenly withdrew the promised prize and gave an alternative which the blog followers were not expecting or probably even wanted that much.
Shucks, that winner must feel happy?
At least you would have got £100 from the iPhone competition. Yet you spent a whole blog entry complaining only to do the same to your readers.

Andy Spark
· 2 years ago
No fryman, I'm not. Otherwise my name would be Andy Cruz. Duh.
Just pointing out a huge contradiction which Cow went on a hissy fit about when they didn't receive their iPhone. And they effectively said themselves that they'd get huge criticism if they tried to pull off a similar stunt. And now they have - just after calling someone else out for keeping a cut of some money. Well, now they're doing the same by lying about a potential cut of money prize and then keeping the cut of money themselves. Bad, bad timing, eh?
Cow lied and is planning to withhold money just like Tyler - the only difference is that Cow is keeping more money than Tyler even wanted from each of his readers. Cow claims to be all about it's readers and not using the blog as a ruthless business like Tyler did - keeping money it said it'd give to it's readers (thus keeping readers hanging around clicking the ads) seems pretty ruthless to me.
Oh and fryman, I actually hate what Tyler did to his readers. I'd really like a mascot for something I'm planning and $500 is extortionate. So I am no way on his side at all. In fact, I'm hardly gonna believe a word he says anymore. But now Cow has proved to be a hypocrite, I'm not gonna believe a word from this site either in regards to competitions (and everything else is losing a little credibility too) and I'd hope that no-one else does either - especially if the prize is money.

I have to agree with Andy on this. Although I can completely understand needing the extra cash to live on now, it doesn't mean integrity should be forfited. Sure, changing the rules for the future is fine and understandable but up until now those that were part of it were under the impression that it was going to be what was posted. And Andy has a point about calling out Tyler and then skimping on your readers as well. I thought Tylers move was cheesy but also think this is a bit sketchy.
Seems one thing any up and coming wannabe "pro blogger" really gets from visiting the big name blogs is learn how to take advantage of your readers as much as possible as long as you make a buck while doing it. It gets to where you always have to wonder how much of the info is really helpful and how much of it is just propaganda to put more money into their pockets using the readers.
I still like you Bob and you are definitely not the only one to "milk" their readership for every drop of revenue possible (pretty much all the big boys do it too) but on your way up be sure to stop and take stock of your path and make sure you keep the integrity. Loyal readers like to feel they are appreciatecd and not just being used...even if they are lol.

AndySpark and DotDriven: Winning an iPhone and just getting $100 offered in the end is hardly something you can compare to not giving away the money that now pays for rent, food and clothes. Sure, we could have said that the prize was gonna change as soon as we announced that we quit our job and that we were trying to make a living online, but somehow we were hoping our readers could put 2 and 2 together.
You can climb out of your tree and stop sniping cows now. You've made your point and we hope you feel better.
Oh, and since you keep going on about the Tyler drama. He tried to actively take his readers money by having them pay more, we're not. We simply changed what we used to give away for free anyway. We're still giving someone something worth over $200 for nothing.

If I am the cow, I will say sorry, give the original prize and start a new rules from no onwards.. surely a cow will live on his words?
"..rent, food and clothes" - I thought cow don't need clothes! :grin: there is plenty of grass to eat! They are renting room for cow now?
