Das hier muss mal gesagt werden, und zwar im guten alten Englisch, damit es auch die entsprechenden Verantwortlichen verstehen und nicht denken, es wäre eine schöne Rezension ihrer Software. So, mal Dampf ablassen – bis später dann…

This is for all of you people working at and leading the company Bethesda. You are offering downloads for your recent game Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This is a good idea! You are giving the opportunity to receive certain upgrades for your game. This is another good idea!

But that’s the problem: All people who already bought your expensive game apparently have to pay for this little bit more optical and internal functionality. You demant about 2 Dollars / 2.60 Euros per download. Which ghosts have haunted you in the nights? Woke up in a yellow environment? That is not some remnant of an eliminated enemy but your own. However, at this moment I can live with the idea that you don’t offer things free of charge, because I will not buy these upgrades.

But if you dare to not upgrade the game with the essential patches which will cover all the language translation problems, game crashes and other relevant bug issues, then I demand my all of money back from you. If you focus on getting more money out of the people’s bags, then you’re nothing else but a thief.

Besides this, it has been the last time I ever spent a single buck for you and your bunch. I openly declare that buying Oblivion is nothing but a waste of money!


My blog is worth $22,581.60.
How much is your blog worth?

There we go and see ourselves as the top of on the flow. Well not truely on the flow, but the MikeSchnoor.com has got quite a high value. Is anyone interested in special advertisement deals? ;)

I wonder who’d ever pay so much, but the idea behind combining the blog link ranking with the AOL prices is quite a nice gadget for every nerdy soul like me!

Well, certainly the phenomenon created by (and around) Darren Rowse is certainly a prime example on how successful a blog author can become. However, many others who aren’t part of the blogging star network continuously try to become the same – and fail! The Workboxers have written a nice statement concerning this failure routine:

Darren just happened to be one of the first to realize the potential blogs had to stream content to the World Wide Web … and is extremely good at it.

If you want a successful blog, read the following advice. Everyone who is considering starting a blog should know the fundamental rule, blog about something you have a passion for! What they (Problogger and co) neglect to tell you is that you must pick a topic that will get attention! Something that will get linked to from all over the world! Something that blog networks will want to post about! Something that Darren himself will post about! Why? Because this is how a blog gets major traffic!

Clearly, this is true. And who would ever want to publish their secrets on earning money to the people who generate that money? In the end, many people do not realize they need niches. And without these niches, they won’t be in the center spot of any attention. I know this, I realized this, and live wonderful with it. The question seriously is: Do you want to be a professional blogger, or rather choose to find the newest niche for you to dig in and become the counter part to Darren? I’d follow that way.
