Wasted money on the million dollar wiki

As promised here are the results from my million dollar wiki speculation. I foolishly bought 3 pages on the wiki after the tremendous hype a few weeks ago. One of the terms was “super affiliate” which I pointed to this blog. So for my investment of $90 (I used a $10 coupon code at least) I have received exactly 7 clicks. Yes, that’s a CPC of $12.85 per click. Probably the most expensive clicks I have ever bought. If you resisted the hype and didn’t buy a page, consider yourself lucky.

Duh, seemed like a very stupid investment from the start. Surprised you even wasted money on it.

I think I got a few more total clicks… 10 maybe. Although I did a little bit of free promotion, so that could explain the different numbers :)

What a waste it was…

Yep, there’s only over one real winner of these “million wiki, dollar, euro or homepage” sites. The owners themselves.

well you are aware of the fact that you own the page for 20 years.

I’m not affiliated with the milliondollarwiki.com but take your 10 hits and multiply bu weeks, months and years and I think you will come out on top.

I am so glad I didn’t buy a page. I knew the hype would just fade/die out. :p

Daniel, That’s a pretty positive outlook you have. Do you really think people will be looking the site in 20 years? I’ll hold on for the words another few weeks, but if I still don’t see any traffic they are yours!

Ya! I figured it was worth a try, but deep down, I knew who would be making the million dollars! It’s still an advertising tax write off, so whatever!

But you have to think if you wouldn’t have bought it and someone posted about getting 1000’s of clicks you would be kicking yourself… i mean you do PPC there is plenty of times i am sure u ended up wasting (i mean gaining some experience) with more money than what was spent on the pages :)

I told you so.

But you just deleted my comment and ignored me.

This would be the third time you fall for the hype, not understanding you’re doing nothing more than just putting money in the pockets of JohnChow, JohnReese, ShoeMoney (or whoever you signed up under).

You’re a super affiliate and a pretty smart guy. Grow up and start thinking for yourself.

I don’t delete comments, unless they have spam links in them. Sometimes you can ride the wave of hype, sometimes the wave crashes on you and you get sucked under. I take my chances and know that going in…

I have received over 100 visitors last month and around the same this month from my Problogger page.

I was one of the lucky ones that didn’t get a page. I just didnt see the value in the hype.
