Maybe you got a few links, but RSS subscribers have dropped about 25%. Perhaps announcing that your blog has finished isn't the best form of linkbait as it means people stop coming!

You do know that the Feedburner stats just show the number of people that actually looked at your RSS in a 24 hour period right? Not the actual amount of subscribed readers. Since there was no new story for more than 24 hours, it's remarkable that the number isn't lower in fact.

True. But I'd say that 25% is a larger drop than you'd expect. I often don't publish a new post for close to 48 hours but the drop is usually more in the 5-10% range. I'd bet that a few people read that you were finished and unsubscribed.

I unsubscribed when your site redirected to john chow. Luckly by chance I clicked a link on my own site and here you are again. I think everyone will soon realize that your back up and re-subscribe.

I knew this was some sort of trick, good one. I finally managed to get rid of that darn USB cooler too. Was sitting on my desk for days! I didn't even plug it in to check if it works.

I want that too, apparently my site stats is doing so bad, I should win by default just for that reason LOL; and that sounded stupid right there.

I am so relieved to see that you are back!! There's much moooney to be made with this blog. I love the humor and uniqueness of this site! I was all down in the dunps yesterday when I could not find John Cow anywhere, not even on Technorati.
Oh, and nice double linkbait John Cow!
WELCOME BACK!!! :) :) :) :)

Oh man, I can't believe that some people actually believed that the lawsuit was real. :lol: I've been absolutely sure from the beginning that it was just a bait. From the looks of it, great results!
Congratulations!

Oh, and the beauty of it is that it will continue to attract links, as people will write on their blogs that this was just a hoax, or write about what a great idea that was.
No wonder mr. milkman has success. :)

I was wondering how ya can get sued if it wasn't coming from Johnchow. Great hoax. This is the first I heard of this website. Pretty cool.
Steven

Sadly theres a lawsuit other there for numerous stupid reasons, I am sure if it was real, it doesn't have to be from the real John Chow. People can come up with any stupid reasons these days for a lawsuit whenever money is involved.

It looked like the linkbait worked, seems like there are some new visitors here.

Not many people could have pulled that off without suffering long term for lying to their readers...but somehow you ass-clowns did it.
Although it's kind of cheap in my opinion, it worked, and that's the main purpose, so good job :twisted:
