Whether this is going to bring a blogger to the next level... Or it is going down the drain... Until then, I start to look into other alternatives of getting massive traffic as well.. And thought why not I start to compile into an article of what I have researched.. :) Hi Gaman, thanks for the lovely introduction in your blog! :)

The buzz it created and the new commentators i noticed here. I am sure it all worth it. Just see how gaman retain the heat from the buzz. The continuous good posts after the review. Well done gaman. At least you brave enough to try it. And now you reaping all the benefits coming out of it. Proud to know u r a Sabahan after all. :) I think its worth it the usd400 gaman spent.

So, it may well be that <i>you</i> will benefit from this. This is particularly so because <i>your blog is better than John Chow's!</i> (I think I said that in a previous comment. If not, I should have. I think your blog is a much better source of information. FWIW, I'll be comparing your strategy to mine over the course of the past few months!

But for me gaman dare to try this because he wants to experiment the power of johnchow.com blog, i may think his blog is over rated. So for me gaman did the right things. because i for sure will never spend the USD400 to get review from johnchow.com because i just don't have the money(hehehe, in a bad way, Spending my USD400 for couple of hours exposure?) i better spend my time creating some nice story post it to dig...or..others site..like stumbleupon. 1000 visitor for one day is not bad...actually. but with the cost of USD400 Hmmm..have to think twice the power of 8 ? lols... But i learn something from gaman experiment result. i think lot's of people learn about this reviewme experiment. others blogger who went and ask for jc review never say anything about thier experienced so gaman made the right decision. i believe this article attracted more attention and more free traffic from others top bloggers. So,i think it's worth it for gaman. am i right gaman? anyway gaman keep up the good work and keep me posted ok. i think USD400 is way to expensive for a malaysian (For me very expensive).

USD400 well spent I think. hi gaman, i agree that the ‘buzz’ will continue weeks after the JC review, which will bring continuous new visitors to your site and hopefully you will benefit from it e.g rss subscribers, clicks, blog reviews, links, pings and all.
