Two weeks ago, the Dot Com Mogul who lives in Dot Com Lifestyle, John Chow was back to the track of Google search engine. He was actually banned by Google 3 years ago due to his naughty action which was selling text link, writing paid post, and the worst action that Google took action to ban his blog was John Chow was trying to fool Google search engine by asking people to link his blog with the keyword “Make Money Online” (which is the keyword I rank well in Top 10 right now), and he would link back to you in return.
John Chow stated that he chose to play the games against Google Webmaster Guidelines, it was because he wanted to proof to Google that he can did even better without the help of Google search engine. John Chow wanted to show everyone that he could do even better without the help of Google search engine.
“Screw you Google! People say I can’t build my blog without you. I’m going to prove them wrong!”
Despite the ban of John Chow, his blog John Chow Dot Com continued to grow in traffic and income. Last year, he made over $40k a month from his blog, Text Link Ads brought him nearly $2k a month. Now, $2k is only 2.5% of his monthly income as what he stated in his recent blog post, not worth it to against Google and just to earn $2k (2.5% of his month income) if you ask me, John Chow can even made more than $2k by using other money making stream if he complied the Google Webmaster Guidelines and back in Google search engine. You should read John Chow’s recent video post about “How I Make $40,000 From A Blog“.
It was Shoemoney, Neil Patel and Matt Cutts who helped John Chow to get back to the search engine. It shows the power of friends and how friends help you in helping to grow your business. Thus, you can see how John Chow built his brand and grew his business in this few years of his John Chow dot Com.
The Power Of Google Search Engine
So you know John Chow was back to Google search engine 2 weeks ago, he screwed Text Link Ads, he complied the Google Webmaster Guidelines, end up Google send him up to 5000 search engine traffic a month. I believe that John Chow can make more than $2000 (Text Link Ads) with his additional 5000 search engine traffic.
John Chow dot Com gains his PR5 right now, and ranks 12th of the hottest keyword “Make Money Online“, although it’s 2 positions behind me but I believe that he is getting better traffic due to his hardcore brand. So can you see how powerful is Google search engine?
So, John Chow is back to the track of Google search engine now, how do you think?

Dot Com Dogul? lol. Nice article buddy, don’t think he’ll head to the very top though.

@HTMM,
Thanks for reading dude. But I don’t agree with you because he is actually in the very top right now.
JOhn Chow is very happy about this that he is bragging this on his blog.
Ridiculous blogger´s last blog ..My first sale
@Ridiculous blogger,
Yea, he is doing very well with his blog right now as he brings his blog to another level right now. I believe that he could make more money with the help of Google search engine right now.
Great! I like things you say about John Cow’s friends and their help to manage John’s google search rankings.
@Brank Zecevic,
John Cow and notjohnchow take the advantage of the keyword “John Chow” right now, they should get lesser traffic right now as John Chow is back to the track, John Chow will take back all his search engine traffic now.
I feel really stupid saying this, but I was never aware that John Chow was banned from Google. It is amazing how he still managed to pull in $40k a MONTH.

@The Gooroo,
Don’t say like this dude, many people didn’t know that John Chow was banned from Google 3 years ago too. But I really admire his work especially he built his brand and make money online without the help of Google search engine. He showed us that we can still actually make money online without Google search engine. Nevertheless, it’s better not to play against Google since we’re not popular yet and don’t have the power to handle this yet.
Yeah, I agree. It is to risky — we aren’t popular in the blogging world yet, thus we need Google.

the post is on “John Chow” and not “John COW”
and yes he is very ispirational on how he still managed to earn BIG after getting banned from Google search engine.
Custom term paper´s last blog ..Un astudentessa racconta la propria preparazione agli esami universitari a Bari
@Custom Term Paper,
Yea I’m not talking about John Cow but John Chow. He was really doing good to fight with Google in the past, but everything back to normal now. He is doing better now compare to the past.
Google is bring him a lot of traffic now which is good to see. It is also cool to see if he does a report on how much he is making now because he is not doing any text link ads. Greg Ellison
Greg Ellison´s last blog ..Active Desktop Recovery Fix
@Greg Ellison,
Great to see you here Greg! Yes, I enjoy reading his blog now on and see what he is trying to do with his blog now. I believe not only you want to see his income report but everyone else, but he said in his blog post before that he no longer posted his income report. But I think he can makes more money with the huge additional organic traffic to cover the loss of the Text Link Ads which is $2000, it’s not a big deal for him.
John had a very large following before being banned by google.It would be hard for someone without such a huge following to do the same as John,but either way it is good to see that google let him back in.
Steven Wilson´s last blog ..Gmail adds Unsubscribe Option to Marketing Emails
@Steven,
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment here Steven! I agree with you, I don’t think there is anyone else could do the same as John Chow right now, he had huge followers from the past until present. Anyway, I believe that his blog will go to another level after Google let him back to the search engine. Let’s see what happens on his blog in coming days..;)
I’m still wondering how John Chow could have survived without google as he doesn’t comments on other blog that much… He was still using social media such as technorati. Also he has an army of faithful readers, not to mention youtuve video and was shown on TV… well, I now believe we can live without google.
Benjamin Cip´s last blog ..Make Money From Your Blog
@Benjamin,
I believe that he should had huge followers before his blog was banned by Google, but he was becoming more and more popular after being a “evil” blogger who played against Google. Yes, we can live without Google, but we can’t do as well as John Chow, how do you think?
Nothing is impossible. But it would be really challenging to do what John Chow did. When will you post videos of yourself on your blog? if you follow the path of John Chow, you’ll no doubts become more and more popular and catch the attention of people. I knew you from John Chow’s, and you blog posts were getting more and more interesting… Now your blog look completely different. You did a great work. See? your effort paid off.
Benjamin Cip´s last blog ..OIOpublisher Review
@Benjamin,
Thanks for your ammend Benjamin! I have to say thank you to all of you who give support to my blog all the times as well. I’ll be posting my videos on my blog soon as I’m too nervous to speak in front of the video, I still need more practice offline and I’ll do it online one day. John Chow is doing really well and we might need to work hundred times harder to be like him. Anyway, we should improve together Benjamin.
Yes we should improve ourself, I don’t feel like making video of myself right now. But I might be interested in doing it when I’ll feel confident in speaking English in front of the camera. Not having English as a mother language is an handicap for each of us who are blogging in English. Writing English might be more easier than speaking.

@Bob,
Hey Bob, great to see you here! lol, John Chow dot Com is actually a personal which writes about his personal rambling, but he will write topic more about make money online as well, so now you get the meaning of his blog title “Dot Com Mogul who lives in Dot Com Lifestyle”.
Dogul?
I assume that this is just a typo. From what I know he is a dot com mugul.
Ridiculous blogger´s last blog ..My first sale
@Ridiculous Blogger,
Hey thanks for telling me about this, it’s actually a typo, I’ve edited it.
Haha… Google is still my very best friend. I tried to be friend with Text Link Ads. But it rejected me (failed to make the source code work on my blog). So I think I am still the lucky one.
SP Blogger´s last blog ..Can you stop the bull from running?
@SP Blogger,
Great! Never go for Text Link Ads, I was banned by Google half years ago, but I did take down them and sent Google a letter and asking Google for reconsideration. Luckily I got back my PR, now I know the importance of Pagerank, so not to play against Google anymore.
Congratulations to Jon. He will easily turn those extra 5000 visits from google to over $2000 a month. On another note..where did you get the graph that shows where his google traffic is coming from.
@Marcus,
I agree with you, he can actually makes more than $2000 a month from the huge additional organic traffic from Google search engine. I get the graph from his recent blog post, you should read his blog about his back to Google search engine recently, it’s an interesting review. 
It’s John instead of Jon.
Thanks I will go read the post right now. I would love to be able to get a graph like that to display stats for my site.
I am really like your post and easily find your point, hope that you can give more about this topic…
Bachrum´s last blog ..Secret Of Backlink from Blog Directory
@Bachrum,
Thanks dude, I’ll produce more article like this, hope to see you come back and read the latest article.
No wonder he can make profit eventhough he was banned for 3 years because he already did blogging almost 5 to 6 years(correct me if i’m mistake). He is not build his brand within 1 year or 2years. but he got passion in blogging field that’s why he is called as dot com mogul.
I still make money using TLA. So far it was ok but i don’t know what will happen in the future. In my opinion TLA is clever to fool the google bot because, if you realize, TLA provide a plugin for the publisher which is can be rename to whatever name we like. Therefore, every publisher got their own name for the plugin. For me, if the name is not the same, google bot can’t detect.
Google also running sell buy text link program. Google ban a blog that join text link ads because it was ‘jealous’.
Fazreen´s last blog ..Killer List Of Blogging Article
@Fazreen,
I recommend you not to continue the game before Google notice it, I believe that they could detect it even though we change the name. How long you’ve been serving TLA? I got banned by Google after 3 months of using TLA.
And yes, Google is running text link program and they just want to beat their competition.
I’m doing it almost 4months with my niche blog which is I use to make several experiments on that blog..i’m not too stupid to do it with my primary blog…
The blog is a blog that i sacrifice for doing some experiment in make money online..
Fazreen´s last blog ..Killer List Of Blogging Article
@Fazreen,
That’s great, seems that you’re doing well to hide Google from selling text link in your blog. It’s always good to test these things in another blog instead of your primary blog. Btw, I’m not going to take the risk even my other niche blogs, I want to stay them healthy and could make more money in future.
Good post. Yeah… it was amazing how well John did being banned for so long. It just goes to show that you don’t have to do that well in the search engines to be successful… but it definitely helps. Hopefully I will make it to the top 10 for the keywords “Making Money Online” this year. You mentioned you are in the top 10 for “Make Money Online”. Is that in Google?
Doug Dillard´s last blog ..Making Money Online Selling Posters
@Doug Dillard,
Yeah Doug, we can do well even though we’re not doing well in search engine, but search engine does really help in online business especially product selling and PPC program.
I know you can do it Doug, just give your blog some times, and you have great content in your blog too!
Yes Doug, my blog is in the top 10 for “Make Money Online” in Google search engine, don’t you see it in Google search engine?
I didn’t know John Chow is banned from Google also
I know Google drop his PR only. Anyway, your blog is cool to stay on top 10 for “Make Money Online” in search engine. That’s mean you are about to dominate the keyword. Good luck!

Yes I tried to log on his site at this tome he was having some hosting problem… Now it’s all fine.. but doesn’t seem to talk about it.
Benjamin Cip´s last blog ..Stop Making Your Blog Look Cheap
Its been a long time since John Chow dissapeared from the top 10. Last time i used to read his blog but ever since google banned him, i have stop from doing so. Now it seems that i will start reading his blog again.
Kingnot08´s last blog ..Making Money Online With Exitjunction
@Kingnot08,
But I believe that most of the people have the same thoughts as most of them like to get more exposure and additional referral traffic from his blog.
Is that meaning that you read his blog because of his blog is in the Top 10 of keyword “Make Money Online” and you would like to get advantage by leaving a comment with your link?
Google has immense power if you really know how to please her
Shanker Bakshi´s last blog ..Build a Niche Store And Make Money With EBay
@Shanker Bakshi,
Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving a comment here Shanker! That’s the point, I don’t think Google will help to expand your business if you’re not well known on the internet, so you need to build your strong brand and get well known, Google will know your exist one day.
I don’t see you in the first few pages of that key phrase
It’s not really the search engine traffic that helps John…it’s actually everyone talking about him that helps because that inevitably makes him rank even higher in Google.

@Mike,
You don’t see my blog while searching the keyword “Make Money Online”? Can’t be because I can see I’m in the 8th position right now?
Yea, it’s because he is well known and has tons of followers in his blog, whatever he wrote will be the breaking news in the blogosphere. Between, he is ranking in page 2 of keyword “Make Money Online” right now.
google is powerful for no doubt . this is only one from lot of proof that we can ever found .

What is your view on it?
Lee I really enjoy your blog, but one thing has been getting under my skin every time I read your updates. You have invested so much time and effort into your blog. Why don’t you do that with your grammar as well. Sometimes I think you have typed your blog in Chinese and then directly translated using an online translator (which are no good) and copy and pasted to your blog. Anyway just a thought. I enjoy reading your blog, but fortunately for you I like problem solving as well. I just think you could have more readers coming back if you took more time to edit your posts.
Stephen´s last blog ..夏期休業のお知らせ
@Stephan,
Thanks for reading my blog Stephan. No I didn’t use an online translator, I wrote it myself.
As you know I’m a Malaysian and English is not my mother language, but I’m still in the learning process. If you compare my older posts with the current posts, you can see the differences. Anyway, I’ll be improving my English. Also, you have a nice site over there!
Again, thanks for reading my blog.
google can say anything he wants, but you can beat him if you can..

I think you can get the answer in his previous post “http://www.johnchow.com/john-chow-gives-in-to-google-back-in-search-engine/”.
@Benjamin,
I’m having the same thought with you Benjamin, sometimes it’s difficult to speak with confident if English is not our first language, I’m still in the learning process in term of writing and speaking. I’m sure I’ll be talking in front the video and share something with you all, I hope see yours soon too Benjamin.
