John Chow announced yesterday that he removed the Text Link Ads that Google has objected to. John Is now seeing his pagerank and traffic rise again. In the process of detailing out what the change means, John Chow made a reference to the Not John Chow blog and how we have benefited from his absence:
“The number 1 search term people used to find John Chow dot Com is, believe it or not, “John Chow”. This should tell you how much sites like johncow and notjohnchow were benefiting for being ranked for my name.”
Whereas this is a true statement, my Google search engine results for “John Chow” has dropped from #3 to #8.
The truth is that I will probably get more traffic from John Chow mentioning my blog in his post than I will ever get from Google!

One of my sites is also banned because of in text links, but google still sends me plenty of traffic, I just don’t have a PR.
Oh well the money I make from in text links I think I can live with being banned.
