MyBlogLog Spotting - The Cow & The Chow
I get a kick out of watching my MyBlogLog widget in the right pane. I like seeing who stops by and I often visit my visitor’s blogs/websites as well. It is a source of new websites for me. After all if they stumbled onto my site odds are they may have some similar interest.
Below are a few people I’ve seen visit my blog in the past month. They weren’t all on this one screenshot. I took a few screenshots through the month and then cut ‘n paste them in with good old MS Paint. Yes I have a PC as well as a Mac.
So here are the results of mybloglog spotting
A. John Cow - The bovine behind the million euro wiki.
B. John Chow - This guy makes crazy moolah (hmmm maybe following the cow biased my language?) showing people how he makes money.
C. Blogcatalog - Well if you don’t know, you should check it out. It is a good site to build a readership and talk to your blogger peers.
Per their site, “Blog Catalog is the premiere social blog directory on the internet. Whether you’re looking to promote your own blog or find blogs on various topics, this site is for you.”
D. Timothy Sykes - I did a book review of his book - An American Hedge Fund. He’s becoming a little celebrity with an appearances on CNBC using models to display stock charts. Cramer never did that!
E. Don’t know who it is, but boy does he look serious, and sleepy. If I wanted my taxes done, he looks like he could do them with some coffee of course. Actually he authors 12 blogs. That’s busy. I’ll plug his Blog of the Day Awards blog because he’s going to add me soon. But then again, maybe the sleepy comment didn’t help get me points. :o(
F. Josh Mullineaux - Per his blog his goal is “to provide informative articles on business, financial, and personal development. I am also blogging to meet and share knowledge with other motivated entrepreneurs.” Josh owns 2 businesses with his partner Nate (G) and has some nice insights on small business and the entrepeneurial journey. Also I put it in here as a challenge to my spelling abilities. I got it right on the first try. Yes. Dax - 1, Alzheimers - 0
G. Nate Whitehill - Some of you may know him as the man behind John Chow’s blog redesign. Nate blogs about his entrepeneurial journey offering tips to his readers as well as insight into what it takes to be successful. His blog is an interesting read. With his partner Josh (F above), he owns infinFX, a Scottsdale web development company, and The Scottsdale Review, a local business journal.
H. Anamika Desai - my wife. She drops in from time to time to spy on me… errr to support my blogging.
I. Jane May - Was named “hottest female blogger”. Jane blogs about monetizing and promotion on dailywebideas. She sold her former site - Careerramblings.com where I place my first ever text link ad before the site became a PR6 site that it is now. I got a great deal at that time as it was a PR4 site when I prepaid for 6 months. I did so because I recognized the site had good content and would become more popular. It was a “trade” in a sense.
J. This avatar just looked cool so it is here.
K. Google Lady - She’s got a good blog on search engine optimization and making money online. She’s one of the few women “make money online” bloggers I’ve come across.
L. This guy. Nirav, my brother. He’s cool. I mean we share the same parents. I suspect he and my wife are in cahoots and they collaborate via Google Docs taking notes on me via observation of my blog.
M. One Man’s Blog - “Specialization is for Insects.” What else can I say. It is a good mix of commentary, tips, and technology. It is a great blog and it has a Google PageRank of 8 which is beter than Some Guy’s Blog and my own 4.
N. Grace Cheng - She has a website about currency and forex trading. She has some excellent commentary and has some training packages available for purchase as well. Incidentally she was runner up in the “hottest female blogger” ranking.
O. Las Vegas Bill - I think this is the Las Vegas Tourist Board. I’m waiting for them to send me a free Vegas vacation after this plug. Viva Las Vegas! There… Please comment and I’ll tell you where to FedEx the tickets. (Actually it is Las Vegas Bill’s blog about Las Vegas Real estate)
Notably Absent
- George Bush - President of the U.S.A.
- O.J. Simpson - former… wait what did he do before he allegedly killed that woman?
- You - Join my community and MyBlogLog and let other people see your lovely mugshot.

Hey this isn’t Amex Platinum that I can get you into the hottest clubs in Vegas ok? (Vegas Tourist Board - that’s plug #2 if you’re reading).
