2007 Top 10 Worst Sites for Making Money Online
After much re-reading of old blogs and help from some other affiliate marketing peeps, the list has finally been completed. Nickycakes was tired of seeing all these top 10 lists of awesome stuff and decided to make a top 10 list of utter garbage. If your site is on this list, then get with the program, because you’re worthless.
Here we go:
#10 – Make Money Online With a 13 Year Old Kid
Ok, wow, great, you’re 13 and you have a website. You read every retarded thread on digital point, hacked up john chow’s theme, made it even more tacky with adsense, and added your own worthless e-book. WHO CARES. By the way, nice pic at the bottom of your page with you trying to look all serious like you actually matter. No idea how 700 odd retards actually got duped into subscribing to the RSS. Nickycakes literally tried for an hour to find a post with any useful information on this site. What did he come up with? Rehashed digital point threads. What a waste of time.
#9 – James Martell
This retard is the fat white version of john chow. Wow, how about you post some pics of cars in your header and a bunch of completely worthless words on your blog. You should be e-book ready in no time. I mean, can you seriously trust someone who’s head looks like a fat pineapple? There’s that retarded audio series you’re advertising on your blog, absolutely free of course if you subscribe to your spam list. Do you really think it’s worth it for some idiot to subscribe to your email list just so they can hear jabba the hut drone on for hours about backlink spamming?
More like $uper Worthless Blog. Nice cafepress t-shirt. Thats probably what every dude wants for christmas. Your retarded website logo on their shirt. Just another douche who likes to post a bunch of (probably fake) affiliate marketing stats but no real info on making money online. Do you honestly think that if you wear a “I <3 Affiliate Marketing” t-shirt that you will ever have a chance of…you know…reproducing with a female? Seriously dude, if you ever expect to get a girlfriend (which, from the looks of things, may not be a priority for you), then you might want to reconsider your wardrobe choices.
Who is Andrew Wee? Nickycakes will tell you who Andrew Wee is. He’s the author of the 7th worst online money making site currently on the internet. Dude, seriously, stop wasting so much time making worthless podcasts about nothing. Seriously, your last podcast was to answer the question of if it’s better to be “smart or rich” in internet marketing. Wow, could you pick a more retarded topic for a podcast? Could this stupidity possibly be topped? The answer is yes, you went on to actually elaborate on such a retarded topic, and in doing so, propelled yourself to the #7 spot on this list. Congratulations, moron.
#6 – Clickbooth
As far as [allegedly] scammy affiliate networks go, these guys take the cake. Nickycakes has never seen so many complaints about a network jacking publishers’ money. What these idiots [allegedly] do is let you earn a bunch of cash for the month, and then make up a bullshit excuse about how they think you’re sending them scam traffic, refuse to pay you, keep all the commissions for themselves[again...allegedly]. This thread pretty much sums up the level of customer dissatisfaction. Anyway, there is one good thing that has come out of clickbooth this year: The most hilarious dramabomb Nickycakes has ever seen.
#5 – HaRRo’s makecash.org
The first thing that should clue anyone in about this guy’s credibility is the name. Honestly dude, what retard still does the lowercase vowels thing. It makes you look like a 13 year old wannabe HaX0R script kid from 1996. Nickycakes is kinda scared he’s going to get punted off aim now. So anyway, if you have a website called “Make Cash”, at least post some information about that instead of just putting a bunch of affiliate links and summarizing other people’s posts. The real reason this idiot made the top 10 is because earlier this year, he actually stole the public domain source code for the iPhone unlock, paid someone to reprogram it, and tried to market it as his own, even getting a mention in Forbes.
#4 – Warrior Forum
Warrior forum claims to be “The #1 Internet Marketing Forum Since 1997″. They’re certainly #1, but it’s not for good internet marketing information. This forum sells more worthless ebooks to more worthless morons than any site on the net. Nickycakes would be willing to bet that not a single person has gotten rich off the information presented on this forum. Well, with one exception: plenty of people have probably gotten rich after observing a site like this and realizing how many gullible idiots there are to market worthless products like expensive ebooks to.
#3 – Blogrush
Blogrush will go down in history as one of the biggest failures of an internet marketing idea that was promoted by so many people considered to be authorities in the industry. The idea was clearly stolen directly from AdGridwork (actually a good service). The reason it got promoted so heavy is because it was created by John Reese, some guy who think’s he’s a guru in the industry and has a ton of lackeys like john chow and shoemoney giving him bj’s all the time because they think he’s god or something. Basically the idea was, you put this obtrusive widget on your website and based on the number of impressions you get, your website shows up in the widget on other people’s site. Well everyone smart decided to game the system and iframe it, send it tons of fake impressions with proxys or whatever to get free traffic, and the entire system failed. Nobody clicks on the stupid thing and it’s pretty much the biggest waste of space ever. Anyone running the thing on their website pretty much loses 95% of their potential credibility right off the bat. Better luck next time.
Digital Point could be accurately described as the largest collection of internet marketing asshats on the net. Just go check the forums out for a good laugh. In the adsense section you’ll find pages and pages of threads with titles like “I JUST HAD MY FIRST $1 DAY WITH ADSENSE, DETAILS ON HOW I DID IT INSIDE.” And the people really aren’t joking. There will be tons of replies by other equally retarded people asking how they did it, what niche they were using, things like “AWESOME WORK DUDE NOW TRY FOR $2 A DAY LOL.” The marketplace forum is full of scammers and idiots. God, the entire thing is just a big joke.
#1 – John Chow
And the #1 most worthless site for making money online is JohnChow.com. Never in Nickycakes’ entire life has he seen such idiocy. Yes, his blog is packed full of nothing. It’s literally impossible to find ANYTHING helpful on the site about making money online (which is supposed to be the topic of the blog). All he does is ask people to pay him to review their websites, and has one of his lackeys write the review. The rest of the posts are pictures of whatever garbage he had for lunch, or stupid youtube videos, car pictures, or guest posts. Some of the guest posts are the only things that could possibly be mistaken for actual online moneymaking information, but upon closer inspection, they’re absolute rubbish. Take this post for example. Arbitrage from a non-arbitrageur. Seriously, have you ever seen so much worthless information packed into one post? This guy is actually suggesting that you will be getting 1 cent clicks from facebook ads (he later changed the post in embarrassment after Nickycakes flamed his ass.) But it’s not just that the information he posts has no value, it’s that he has so many idiots following his every word. Seriously John, if you’re reading this, your blog is garbage.
Hahaha, I love how you said what everyone was thinking. Yeah, John Chow’s blog is crap.
One other thing that gripes me is how being a 13 year old is good in differentiating yourself. Why would you want to learn anything from someone who has so little experience?
Those 700 subscribers are morons.
Well, I guess whatever john chow does is working for him. He does make money more than all of us here. Even if it is garbage, I am sure he has balls to say to his haters, “sucks to be you.”
No, I don’t see him doing any such thing. I’m sure he’s read this, and you don’t see him saying that anywhere, do you? Also, there are plenty of people who read this blog who make more in 1 week than that guy makes per month with that retardfest he calls a blog. Anyway, enjoy your life at digital point and next time you want to get on your knees and give john chow a BJ, do it on his website, not this one.
What a reply … I Like that … awesome.
Well, you know you’ve made it as a success when you’re #1 on someone’s hate list. But Chow is the one laughing all the way to the bank… to the tune of almost $30,000/month.
I know countless other people who market worthless products and make more than that per month. Just because he has tons of idiots from digital point refreshing his site every day doesn’t mean his blog isn’t the worst thing since CocaCola Black.
I never said Chow’s blog wasn’t bad. It is very thin these days when it comes to information about making money online. The point is, he’s making a better living than 95% of people in the US or Canada, whether he is selling/peddling crap or not, that’s an accomplishment.
very interesting.
i’m adding in RSS Reader
[...] Finally, and most importantly (for blogs anyway) is return users and subscriptions. When a reader finds a new site, they will check it two times. The first time they check it will be when they find it in a search engine result, or recommended by a friend, or forum, or link, or whatever. The second time they come back, will be to see if there’s anything new. If there isn’t, they most likely won’t be returning again. If there IS new content, they’ll probably add it to their RSS feed reader, or bookmarks and come back often (assuming you’re not running a site full of retarded useless information). [...]
I hope my blog makes your list in 2008. That means I’ve really hit the big time, although since I don’t really give a shit about my blog that will not happen. My blog is bullshit by the way. I only give the smallest hints of the ways I actually make my money. That’s key. It’s fucking hard figuring out how to make money online, it makes me giggle that people think someone is going to give away all of their secrets. I will say that I agree with you for the most part, although I think there’s some value to forums like Digital Point (mostly the buy & sell area) … To hell with it, this comment is almost as rambling and retarded as my own blog posts… THANK YOU!
You made me laugh with this post
The 10 ten list is nicely done! My list tops these spammiest spammy sites of Super Affiliate Mindset, John Chow, the retarded DP forums and Whoisandrewlee. I haven’t visited the other sites on the list!
If you need a headache you can go visit one of these above spammy sites! There is not ONE bit of information that is useful out on these sites! Idiots!
[...] other affiliate marketer Nickycakes noticed there was Amit Mehta, mentioned late last year in the top 10 worst make money online sites post. Guess he was looking for new ways to promote his network of affiliate sites in the background [...]
Thanks for a good read … I would almost link it …
I never thought John Chow was important in any way. Seemed like a slacker to me from the beginning.
you have listed several numbers of direct approach here. To tell you the truth, I’ve bought several books on profiting from blogging but those books never told me like you’ve mentioned. Many thanks.
glad we didnt make the list
sphunn and stumbled
Damn…this was so funny! Great post man!
LMAO!! Awesome post, a must sphinn.
Fantastic post, I knew there is something wrong when you claim to make 30,000 a month and you tell us what you eat for dinner.
Also why would I ever ask a 13 year old for information on how to make money online?! When I was 13, I was busy hustling my parents for 1.50 for sweets rather than lying to 1200 subscribers…
Wow…the blogoshpere needs to see more posts like this!
That’s so hilarious, it nearly killed me!!! Keep up the great work here you’re a genius.
I love smelly garlic balls. Smelly garlic balls are om nom nom.
Great Stuff!!
johnchow.com. never heard of it but the pic looks pretty funny
This blog Is very informative , I am really pleased to post my comment on this blog . It helped me with ocean of knowledge so I really belive you will do much better in the future . Good job web master .
Hillarious
You should show up to the blog expo this year and tell them all to their face!
did it occur to anyone that negative publicity serves the same purpose as publicity?
posts pointing out the worst drive traffic to very focus of the criticism.
would be better to just give lousy sites the silent treatment, remove their links, ask other sites and networks to ignore them and refuse to posts their comments completely and just wipe them gradually from the web.
if no one is talking about them, they will cease to exist
@aggywanda your shitty blogspot blog should have been on this list…maybe next year
This is hilarious , I agree john chow has some good content but as far as making money online content I would rather visit escobar status blog and join his little blogring.
I’m a Adsense Noob and you are right, fcking idiots. You could make a top 100 list and not scratch the surface of these morons.
Looks like that blogrush and makecash guy are shut down.
Good predictions.

This made me actually laugh out loud, it’s all too true.
Great post.
I would like to know what you think about Grizzly
If you mean the guy who got to being #1 for make money online etc then you can’t really blame him.
Even though his site fucking sucks he’s smart enough to get it incredibly high in the serps.
Adsense blogger – in no way relevant to this post IMO
I’m pretty new to internet marketing, but it doesn’tt take long to realise that there are just so many bullshitters out there. Just how much useless information can you take? Making money online is no where as complicated as it is made out to be, so please stop telling me how much I need the junk!! Oh and I would like to hear from other HONEST marketers if there are any. Yes nickycakes his blog is yawn!!!!!!
I love John Chow. Anytime I feel that I'm a useless tool without any redeeming qualities one look at his blog brightens my day. It makes me look like a real talent.
YES! you are the best… i seriously LOL’ed at this post.. hahahha man im visiting your site a bit more often now…
Nice summery of tool bags and worthless sites. So many suckers out there.. John Chow make me blow some projectile vomit when I just look at that ugly fucker.
I’m so tired of so many so called gurus and their over-night get rich promises. Making money online takes time and sometimes money.
good Stuff!!
Or better yet, cloak the redirects so that only Google sees them redirecting back to your site. That way people keep posting with it
