2008 Top 10 Worst Make Money Online Sites
Having had to wade through another year of god-awful “Top 10 Best” diggbait style posts, Nickycakes has yet again compiled a Top 10 WORST Make money online sites list. If you didn’t catch last years post, chiggity check it.
Anyway, here’s the list…worst of the worst, 08:
10. Ms. Danielle
Talk about exploiting the fact that you’re female as your only angle on getting readers. Do you honestly think if the internet marketing crowd weren’t sex-starved parents basement dwelling nerds that you’d have made it over 100 subscribers? Doubtful. When you take time out of your day to make a post about a picture with you and Zac Johnson standing in front of the least unique and most overpriced waste of blog design services (unique blog designs..lol) you know your make money online blog is grasping at straws. It’s cool though, you’ll probably get some drooling acne faced digital point reading college kid to sign up under your adbrite referral link and make you millions! Till then, pack up shop and find a dayjob, or considering ebaying your used undergarments. Nickycakes hears that does well with the same sorta crowd.
9. Zac Johnson – Secret Life of a Super Affiliate
If pretending you know about PPC and dressing up as Spiderman and going to childrens playgrounds in the daytime makes you a “super affiliate” then yes, Zac, you are Thuper…err Super..indeed! To be fair, Zac’s blog started out ok. He had some good tips at the beginning on how affiliate marketing worked, a few clever ideas, whatever. And then about a year ago, it all went to crap. Maybe he paid content writers to write his first few blog posts, and then when those articles ran out he had nothing to write for himself, who knows. But it soon became clear that Zac had no idea about PPC. The dude made some decent money back when Yahoo screwed up with their adsense style program and was paying people tons more than they should of per click, but after that dried up and zac’s network of myspace layout sites (lol) got flushed down the toilet, the dude had nothing. He stuttered his way through an agonizing session at Affiliate Summit where he proved he knew absolutely nothing about PPC, and then he was caught ripping off an affiliates landing page word for word right after publishing a guide on how to make landing pages, and was trying to claim he was some kind of expert on the subject. He’s now resorted to devoting entire posts to things like figuring out how to calculate how much money you make per hour….daily revenue / 24….you’re a genius zac…really. This dead horse has been beaten into the ground, time to remove from your rss reader.
Back in early 2007, this blog/forum had a little credibility. No longer. The dude who runs it, Quesadilla, Godzilla, something like that, has turned into the blackhat version of shoemoney, teaming up with the most blatant retards like Marcus “i think making $1k a month cookie stuffing ebay makes me a blackhat allstar” Tandler to try and convince newbies to attend their $5k attendance fee seo gatherings. Really? Seoktoberfest? Nickycakes feels really sorry for whoever shelled out $5k to go hang out with this group of asshats instead of spending that money on something….significantly less lame. Having seen pics of said event, you would have been embarassed to be caught dead at this thing. Either way, total scam, this dude’s fallen off bigtime, and it shows. Keep making posts nitpicking the no-follow tactics of news sites like forbes.com big guy…everyone cares..really they do.
The first giant douchebag make money online blogger was obviously shoemoney. Then someone who wanted to be like him, copied everything he did. His name is john chow. Then uberaffiliate copied john chow, and people copied uber, all the way down the line till you get to TylerCruz.com. Same deal. No good content, tons of worthless posts and contests with the hope that some whale affiliate will accidentally click his link to sign up to marketleverage, or whatever flavor of the month worthless network is sending bloggers free stuff this week, and make him $500 per month to pay for his inevitably unused gym membership and a lifetime supply of little debbies and mt dew. Listen, bro, if you’re going to be a sheep and get one of those oh-so-gay caricatures drawn up as your blog logo, at least get one that doesn’t look 3 times as skinny as you are. Really dude, it looks like you ate the guy in your logo. Be realistic.
6. Daniel Kemp – One Man, One Dream
Ok, so this guy looks like Napoleon Dynamite, and decides to take the hype that surrounded that movie and move it over into the internet marketing realm by pretending to be this really weird guy. He frequents wickedfire forums where he prentends to be really weird, and makes these videos and really long “intellectual” posts complete with footnotes. People do actually fall for it and it’s sometimes hard to decide who is more idiotic, kemp himself, or the people who don’t realize it’s a big show. Really the only reason this guy is on this list is because he posts on wickedfire a lot…the blog isn’t exactly make money online related…
Do your biggest dreams in life involve making a few hundred dollars a day by pretending to be a girl, visiting chat rooms, and persuading horny guys to sign up to dating services under your affiliate link? Then this forum is full of people just like you. Sign up today. (bhw will likely start some gay thread about this post, and then make a short rally for someone to get some russians to ddos nickycakes’ uber shared hosting acct before giving up like they give up on pretty much everything in life)
4. Mr Javo
Have you ever had a nightmare where there was this guy who barely spoke english and kept sending you im’s every day asking you to read their awful blog posts and to submit them to digg and get your friends to read them…EVERY….DAY. Well Mr. Javo has made that nightmare a reality. There is probably no other blog on the internet that has so many words on it that mean so little. When this guy first started, he contacted as many people as he could and just bugged the living crap out of them until they agreed to digg or sphinn his blog posts or subscribe to his rss feed. He does a “blog revenue” post every month where he includes the amount of money he made total in his affiliate marketing ventures, and it’s always less than $500, yet he has written an e-book on getting started with affiliate marketing. In addition, he has the most annoying to look at caricature blog logo ever drawn. Gives nickycakes a headache just thinking about this guy.
No surprise, digital point forums makes the list yet again. Nickycakes was attempting to not repeat any of the “winners” from last year, but really, its hard to imagine digital point could have actually gotten worse since last year, but it definately has. The place is just a cesspool of 3rd world scammers trying to make a few dollars a month clicking their own adsense ads. It’s really impossible to describe, and the Cakes is probably preaching to the choir here, but if you’re part of the 1% of the readers who have not been there before, you really have to see it for yourself. Make your way to the google adsense section on a rainy sunday weekend for more laughs than you can handle.
For someone who’s been in the industry for a couple years, this guy’s pathetic attempts at viral marketing would be comical if they weren’t so damn sad. He’s another one of those john chow ripoff clones, but can’t even seem to pull that off properly. His latest genius viral marketing plan was to hire some average looking model to dress in wrapping paper, rattle off the names of like 50 affiliate networks and make money online blogs before unwrapping herself on camera. Well, she was clothed in a bikini underneath, and he advertised it as her getting completely naked, strike 1. The dude obviously shelled out a ton of money for this ultimately boring ordeal, strike 2. And he got really upset when everyone called him a failure and demanded backlinks from people for his troubles, strike 3. Here are some simple tips to fix your blog, guy: Get a theme that doesn’t blind people….bright pink and blue? MOAR LIKE COLORBLINDNESS.COM! If you insist on tagging most of your posts with 100+ categories, don’t have wordpress list every category on your sidebar so that it extends about 10 times further down the page than your site content does. Actually…the best tip to fix your blog is just quit the internet man. Just give up.
1. Escobar Status
Words do not do justice.
Keep it real.
Well this should keep me entertained for a while
Number 11. Ryan Eagle? I was surprised he didn’t make the list. Hahaha.
And Woo, didn’t make the list this year, but… maybe next year? Lol
lmao @ this post. And especially LMAO at “NickyFuckFace” comment (#42), damn that dude is bitter about something…
LOL @ angry BHWers
I used to subs to seo bh and there was some decent info there, but all in all, not much help, and quads didnt keep fresh content. lets face it..pro BH’rs ARENT going to share what they do..they MIGHT tell you a crash and burn technique when a new algo squashes their game, but at that point, its useless info…
And Cakes..you only scratched the tip of the iceberg with the “winners”…there are SOOO many more posers in this business..god knows why they blog…
lol escobarstatus – that may be even better than makemonies.
Solid as usual.
I’m surprised you’re not a fan of Zac Johnson; I usually find good info on his blog. Regardless, I tend to agree on your other choices. Good list.
lol funny shit…
This is really funny as hell.
Merry Christmas Nicky.
Why the hell isn’t this website up there? Should take #1 probably.
Thats spiderman He came to save us or play,
thanks man for notifying about this,
Your comments about Zac Johnson and Tyler Cruz are right on! I suffered through Zac’s agonizing panel at the AF Social Media conference, and wanted to slit my wrists. As for Tyler, I can’t wait to read his monthly revenue update next month, now that MarketLeverage has pulled their contest!
They need to do way instain nicky> who kill their babbys who cannot frigth back…
lol. only people who don’t read my blog would ever call it a make money blog. thanks for the link though!
Escobar = BWAHAHA!
Guru indeed
Absolutely hilarious list. ESCOBAR STATUS = G.O.A.T. $$$ Blog.
You are incredibly stupid, all these blatant remarks at trying to make a decent log site? It must be hard to do that when you’re IQ is below 50. You don’t even know what you’re talking about in half of these and all you can do is insult their image. Not what they can actually do, and as for BHW being full of pedos & idiots etc, go re read some topics of kind people who share their OPINIONS, just like you’re doing. So I guess you should slap yourself at the top of your next arrogant “top 10 idiots of the web” list.
Cakes, A little wrong with your Seo Blackhat claims. The private forum is good resource and your buddy Smaxor is a member, so it cant be half bad no?
Darkseoprogramming will subscribe to all these. Now I can make moonies foreva.
Thanks for a good laugh Nicky.
Escobarstatus, hilarious.
He says: “Most people don’t believe it but 4 years ago I WAS POOR! That’s right – poor. Now I have a website and I joined a WEB RING!”
I have no doubt that he was poor 4 years ago and I have no doubt he’s still poor. With so many typos and bad design, that site has to be a joke.
Great post i really enjoyed it. Cant understand how that Mr Chow has not made the list everytime i read his blog i read about what he had for tea last night.
What a list, first time here on nickycakes
Cakes, you had me laughing with tears in my eyes with this one. uncontrollable laughter with the DP review. It’s true though, I have so many visitors from 3rd world countries to my blog because I posted a link to my site in the sig on DP now I have these scammers “snooping” through my site.
You forgot to write about the people buying ebooks after ebooks on there paying for the same rehashed info. Im serious you could sell an ebook on there on how to make your fish talk and you will have people IMing you for a review copy.
HILARIOUS
I lolled so hard when I read this!
I found this post by typing, “top make money blogs” in Google and it came up in the first results. Congrats!
Very brave indeed to post this kind of stuff. You just gained another subscriber. Cheers!
Let’s not forget the other type of person on Digital Point: The Google spy.
Great Post!
Now that we know the Top 10 worst, can you let us know what you would consider the best resources?
I really would like to know who you value and where I should devote my attention to.
Best,
Jeremy
Ha, Daniel Kemp at #6? I didn’t even know the earth emperor had a blog.
BannerBlindness.com is offering some services to you Nickycakes. See for yourself
h t t p://www.bannerblindness.com/banner-blindness-top-referring-source-of-traffic-last-30-days/
LOL
Ha Ha great list. DP forums has been crap for years.
I hate those stupid caricatures that are showing up in blog headers all over the place as well.
This is my first time visting your site and you got me hooked. Subscribing.
Thanks
Love the thing about Tyler Cruz and the logo bit.
Blackhatworld, btw, is much more than just an ewhoring…. In fact, ewhoring is only one of many methods discussed at bhw.
BHW also is not just about black hat methods.
BHW is in my Top 10 money making sites.
Lol nickycakes doesnt leave my post , i should blog about this
what the fuck are you talking about, your comment is still there. scroll up retard
LMFAO I’m dying. And #1 can’t be real. No way. The very first site I built 12 years ago looked a million times better than this. Good Jesus.
Believe it or not, Google advised me to subscribe to this blog when I was reading stuff in my Google reader.
I clicked this post, read the whole post and was laughing out loud while reading.
Nothing to say that has not already been said. Cakes…you are a legend!
One of the funniest posts on the net
Thanks
Internet marketing is a really rocket science for non IT geeks. For those who are really an IT freak it’s just a matter of hard work and research.
Erik Zapsa from Black Hat World. One of the best ways to get traffic from internet marketers is to insult them.
The article is well written and funny as shit.
Well Done Sir.
DP is such a horrible place to sell, i agree.
However, there is a benefit. Yes, it is a place of 3rd world scammers without money…i got scammed there LOTS, and the beggars there make me throw up.
But for outsourcing and finding someone doing some cheap work its excellent
g.
Black hat world sucks, my boyfriends always on there. Agreee with other post. 99% of the stuff there is stuff like posing as a women in the “horny” forums or on craigslist, lead guys on, and pray you get sign ups.. So lame.
your crazy to bash on BHW – I guess its because your a whitehat fruitcake
Sorry but “blackhat seo” has nothing to do with “blackhat” anything. Not only are you all at BHW fruitcakes, but you’re broke fruitcakes. Have fun with your mafia wars blog, i’m sure that’ll make you rich.
thanks nicky actually making 50 a day w/ some facebook linkage
haahhaha trueee m annn !!
More than ignorant to have Blackhatworld on your little list. It’s got some of the brightest minds in Internet Marketing as members. With a name like “nickycakes” I guess it’s to be expected lol
Wow, quite a list you have here. But I must say, I enjoy your posts, so what the heck.
just looked at your site. what kind of retard drives a bmw in the snow?
Personally, I have Blackhatworld (BHW) an excellent source of information. I had used the Warrior Forum for years only to find out allot of stuff was taken free from BHW and sold on the Warrior Forum.
