The year has gone and come, and like all the previous years and years to come, mistakes were made. Here are 18 disappointments that were passed through the Sphere in 2007. Hopefully, we won’t repeat these, but instead make room for new ones!
“Do you want to get paid just for using the internet?”
“Dude, have you tried Google Adsense yet?”
“The Pagerank update should happen any day now!”
“This post is sponsored by PayPerPost.”
“Join the BlogRush!”
“This blog is about teaching you how to make money online.”
“Chronic pain treatment ultram er com. Tramadol ultram medicine. Soma Soma.”
“Pssh- I don’t care about Pagerank.”
“I didn’t make any money last month but I can still teach you how to make money online.”
“Who the heck is John Chow?”
“So, I haven’t tried this out yet but everyone else says it’s a good money maker so I’ll just talk about it without any experience anyways.”
“Buy my eBook!”
“Umm, hey can you teach me how to make money online?”
“My blog has been hacked and I forgot to back it up!”
“John Cow is hacked! Nooo!”
“As long as I put out good content, the traffic will come to ME.”
“Kids can’t teach us how to make money online!”
“I’m eager to see when and what the new Cash Quests owner will provide us with.
I love these statements! I can relate to 90% of them! I especially love “John Cow is hacked! Nooo!”
Oh so true. ‘Join The BlogRush.’ lol
I love the list Casey. Favourite thing is probably Algoco. Even though I didn’t follow that stuff too much, way to own up!
Haha, thanks!
Well it WAS a failure.
Yeah, Agloco was probably the worst hype-failure of them all.
I think I’ve read most of those comments at least once over the past year ! I like it ! Thanks
Glad you like ‘em!
I guess the lesson to be learned with this stuff is, “It doesn’t hurt to wait a week or two and see how it performs…”

These are so true!
“I didn’t make any money last month but I can still teach you how to make money online.”
….that made me spit tea all over my monitor. So true!
I remember “The Pagerank update should happen any day now!” a lot. People were so nervous and eager for the update, it was just hilarious.
Maybe. Personally, my vote is for BlogRush just because that widget was EVERYWHERE.
Too funny! A coworker was telling me about AdSense like (1) it’s the best thing in history and (2) I’d never heard of it … it really sounded a lot like “you can get paid just to be on the internet” … which is your #1 disappointment on your list.
Remember the episode of The Simpsons where they get cable? Homer chuckles at the TV, saying “It’s funny because it’s true.”
lol, thank you!
What? You mean you can get paid to use the internet?
Great list, it all was so disappointing, especially the PayPerPost.
