I’ve never really understood reporting stats … I know people create referral spam bots to get links from auto-published logs, and already this leaves a bad impression.

Obviously you don’t want to publish your stats if you are making $23.70 a month.

I do see that occasionally and think, “that guy just lost any credibility he might have had with me,” that is, unless he’s not trying to sell me on how much he makes from his blog.

The trick would just be to do it every now & again and not promise your readers that you’ll do it every month.

I agree though that John Chow is the biggest scam on the Internet since Global Prosperity.

Good list. The thing I have to work on is grammar/spelling. Mine isn’t terrible, but it could definitely be better. Although the beauty of a blackhat blog is that I don’t have to be “professional”. I have to be knowledgeable. Thank god. haha.

Sometimes you have to be blunt to expose the irrational thinking of some bloggers. Vic, you have got valid points here about not showing stats and making a fool of oneself. But I supposed most of these stat maniacs are just not savvy enough to think through the situation. Most of them are young and want to reach the pinnacle as soon as possible. People like a few A-listers are not doing these tyros a favor either by “bragging” about their so-called “great” achievements. It only feed on their cravings.
