Add me on SphinnWhy does Zac Johnson have almost 9,000 subscribers and I have 6,000?
Do I need to make 90% of my posts sponsored posts about products I don’t even support/use and the other 10% about a recent “profitable” Facebook campaign that made $20? His most recent post is a sponsored post about a charity for the Make A Wish foundation. Come on now, you need the money that badly that you’re taking money from a place trying to promote a charity?
I mean really, I must suck. This dude posts his profitable campaigns that make $20 and he has 3,000 more readers than me.
Yeah I’m bitching. Give me the answer, NOW.
/sarcasm
But really…why? Zac Johnson pwns me.
P.S. Congrats to Wes and the 202 team, Tracking 202 has been acquired by Bloosky. You guys developed an awesome piece of software and deserve it!
EDIT : Alright alright, the whole Facebook thing was a little mean, it could actually be helpful for newbies. He probably makes $50/day so we weren’t seeing his full revenue stream. Which reminds me, has anybody checked out the Affiliate Squeeze Theme. It’s a great new product that just hit the market, I’ve heard nothing but good things and I personally endorse it.

Thanks for taking your time to write a post on me. Although, I’m making REAL money online and I DON’T need to brag to my users on PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGES of my earnings – I show them smaller campaigns to get them interested and then other affiliate blogs show them different ones.
THATS WHY I AM BETTER THEN YOU – BECAUSE YOU ARE A DOUCHE AND THIS POST SHOWS IT!!!!
November 24th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
You don’t need to brag? Is that why your featured post is your $800k Myspace money from years ago?
Photoshop? LOL

If this is actually ZJ you need to chill the fuck out.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Son, shut the hell up.

He ran several contests in the early going of his blog to boost his subscriber numbers. Also he posts almost everyday….

At least you got 6000 I only got like 600! Booyah.
You probably don’t want 99% of ZJ’s subscribers because a lot are newbies who have no idea how to make money online and just buy tons of e-books and other crap that they will never read or use…oh wait that may be a good thing if thats all you do is peddle products you dont even use every post.

My conquest is internet domination, I’ll take all the sheeple I can get.
November 24th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
shit i only have 400 some readers and at least half are fake. i keep wondering how, when everyone tells me “oh i love ppc.bz!”
November 27th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
I love ppc.bz I just don’t have a feedreader because that’s the end of ever working again.
November 25th, 2009 at 12:51 am
Leave ZJ alone…..he shows you how to make $20 on FB. He gives you coupons he got off a booth at Ad-Tech. What more do you people want? Do you want him to bleed? What is wrong with you fraking people. Leeeave ZJ alone.

Sheeple are yummy with a side of foie gras

Just take care your business.Don’t get into the argument between them.
November 25th, 2009 at 5:05 am
You should be more discreet in courting them sheeple then! No point in rubbing their faces in it! LOL, I the inherent entertainment value of your brutal honesty really does it for me man! I’ll be back for more, that much is for sure!
November 24th, 2009 at 11:50 am
I have been wondering how he does so well when all he posts is review posts. I just dont get it..lol
Question is how long did it take him to get to 9000 and how long did you take to get to 6000
November 24th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Heres some tips
Make more Posts
Make more guest posts
Try to get some local media coverage
Also Zac johnson and Jon Volk run ppc campaigns on their blogs for traffic
and the only reason zac posted the myspace site since that niche and site are dead now probably along with myspace http://siteanalytics.compete.com/myspace.com/
Make a post on dennis yu and watch the sub go up also try to bait people into your twitter
“Do you want to know what dennis yu’s Porn site is? folow me on twitter and ill Dm you :D”

That made me chuckle.
Although I was apart of the camp it wasn’t bad I just don’t think he was ready.
November 24th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Lets fake it till we make it! Lets fake it till we make it!! NOT!
I read so much bull on some blogs that it hurts, ZJ & JV are maybe the worst perpetrators.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
feedburner counts aren’t accurate
plus, he seems to be popular to hate on, so people post/ hate on him like you, and he gets more play ;) all press is goood press. and he has fans too, so it’s win/win for him right?
November 24th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
His blog may be garbage now, but he obviously did things right at some point to get where he is. Zac has turned himself into a celebrity blogger through things like speaking at industry events. Obviously he’s not going to give away all his secrets on his blog either. Sorry but this post reeks of jealousy. I don’t blame you though. I’m jealous of anyone who is getting rich online too.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Interesting comments. His last like 3-4 posts have all been sponsored and or affiliate promo plugs. I love it when I see two blogs I follow post the same exact post:
John Volk & Zac Johnson both had the squeeze page review/trying to sell some crap product that they have probably never tried but has an affiliate commission of $100+?!?
Always gets me when I see those posts where they are obviously trying to cop $$ off the readers, granted everyone does that. At least Zach does show the sponsored post icon for posts he is receiving $$ for directly.
His Facebook profit campaign post was interesting because I think it definitely helped us small guys, and it didn’t look like he was plugging the $100 commission off 4houraffiliates facebook manager.
The FB Ad post was helpful but also a bit untrusting. One because he used direct linking which we all know does not achieve good results in facebook at all. His CTRs were absolutely through the roof. I get some campaigns at over .30 and still pay $.50+ per click. So I’m not too sure how old that campaign actually was.
I agree though, his last posts have been crap, but the FB one was overall OK.
November 25th, 2009 at 2:33 am
Zac posted a few guides and some case studies that resulted in 1000’s of subscribers. now people are lazy to unsubscribe…
November 25th, 2009 at 3:40 am
Oh my god, two good bloggers with good reputation on the web fighting with each other. Anyway this is your war. Fight it virtually and may everyone be safe and sound! Cheers!
November 25th, 2009 at 3:43 am
Good post. Let the fight begin! The very first comment has been Zac’s one and that was a good retaliation! Entertaining stuff, really.
November 25th, 2009 at 4:19 am
Zac looks completely gay!
November 25th, 2009 at 7:08 am
You actually read zac johnson ?… thats even gayer than him taking money from a charity
November 25th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Zac’s explaination to his 20$ camaign’s is a great idea. We all have ways that we get traffic and make money that we DON’T share with everyone.
Yes I don’t get how Zac makes money when all he does is post reviews.. maybe he can cuase he readers are used to it.. mine on other hand would walk away.
But it’s the same with twitter I get retweeted doing things that if someones else did they would be unfollowed.
Different readers want different things.. guess you need to figure out what that is and offer it up.
November 26th, 2009 at 8:18 am
hey mabe we can link up! good blog
November 27th, 2009 at 11:46 am
I wanna know who is great when it comes to blogging.Is it Zac Jhonson or anyone else.
November 30th, 2009 at 12:02 am
you guys rocks as you have 6000 and 9000 readers, while i just have hardly 600 readers….
December 1st, 2009 at 1:54 am
Well, I see the discussion is heating up here… in the end I think it as simple as that: it’s not about the no. of readers or the posts sponsored, is about the money… so I wonder who makes more money between the 2 blogs, since money is not necessarily linked to the number of subscribers…
December 3rd, 2009 at 6:26 am
I am going to say reading is my god. I spend a lot of time doing it. A lot of money on it. I enjoy it very much. I learn a lot from it. And, when I am upset, I use it to take my mind of things… so, I guess that is my equivalent of praying.
December 6th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
wow. 6k-9k readers, its great. I have to improve my blog for atleast 500 readers.
December 16th, 2009 at 2:07 am
Wow I didn’t know that you are so successful. So many subscribers is something noticeable. I bet you did a lot of work to gain that success.
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:02 am
right, zac is good blogging, i follow and visit zac blog regularly, great information dude
December 31st, 2009 at 8:52 am
Zac and you are both doing something right to have such decent followings
