Google Lifted Ban from John Chow dot Com
It’s a very long story, to make it short let me tell you that back in December of 2006 John Chow started a very aggressive link exchange campaign, he give a link back for every review of his blog when the text anchor ‘make money online’ was used. John now exchanged over 870 links from various sites as a direct result of this campaign. This has proved to be very fruitful for John and his income grown from $2790.05 in December of 2006 to $12,569.61 in June of 2007.
But big Daddy didn’t like his idea and banned him for indexing in his giant search engine. Poor John chow, he has to survive in blogging world without Google. You know very well that from where you get maximum traffic to your blog, yes its Google organic search, and imagine how difficult it is to survive in blogosphere without Google’s support. Even when people search for keyword ‘john chow’ someone else blog was appearing at no # 1 place. Kudos to Mr. John chow, he struggle hard this entire tough time and maintained his popularity in blogosphere without the help of Mammoth google.
Couple of hours back he contacted me asked me to check whether his blog is appearing in google for search word “John Chow” and my reaction was ‘YES SIR, you are very much there at # 1”. What a relief, he regains his sanity and dignity from Big Daddy google. Here is short conversation between me and john chow immediately after google lifted ban from his blog.
John Chow: Search for John Chow in Google and tell me what’s #1?
Me: YES SIR – you are very much there at first place and that’s comes under organic results
John Chow: Yes google has lifted my ban
Me: CONGRATULATION SIR
John Chow: Thanks, Now if they would only restore my Page Rank lol, I guess that will be on the next update
Me: have you done something about it or it is their Suo ”MOTO” efforts
John Chow: I went to Matt himself I’ll be doing a blog post about it, we held peace talks
Me: How you feel about it now?
John Chow: It worked out well. Google is happy with it and so am I, One thing I do have to say. If the re-include request comes from Matt Cutts, things happens REALLY FAST!
Me: Yes, everyone respect his knowledge
John Chow: They fear him too! LOL, since he controls how Google does it search, He’s pretty much God in the SEO world
Me: You and matt met on various occasions, so why it took so much time to convince him?
John Chow: I never met him face to face
Me: In India Data centre you appear at #7 for Make Money online Keyword now.
John Chow: I’m on page 2 for North America
Me: how were these long three years without Google?
John Chow: Before Google wouldn’t put me pass the 5th page rank I think I was like page 20 for make money online
Me: It will also save you some money as I notice earlier you were spending on AdWord for paid searches for your own name since you were ban.
John Chow: That’s not me that was someone else
Me: Congratulation again john
John Chow: Thanks

I don’t think he was banned from Google. He was penalized for doing something that was unethical as per Google.

Good to learn that finally John finally got his name back on Google SERPs. However, this is only one part of the incomplete story. Not many people would really search ‘John Chow’ to go to John Chow but it would be great if he can rank high on ‘make money’ or ‘make money online’

The very day when Google include his blog in SERP Google also restore his PR from 4 to 5 . He ranks on page 2 for “Make Money Online” in north america as he said to me. I am pretty sure he will very soon he will top the SERP in all continent for this search term
John Chow is hell popular. If you check out on Google keyword tool, there are 9000 searches go with his name in broad classification and the same trend lies all the time.
John Chow Jai Ho!
