Copycats Hit Big in the Blogsphere

Around early August of this year, I came across a rather strange blog. Something just wasn't right about this particular blog. Maybe it was how familiar it looked or maybe it was because two fat cows were staring at me through my monitor. Whether I liked it or not, the blog in question intrigued me. I don't find the blog itself very helpful when it comes to making money online or even blogging in general. Why do I continue to go back to that blog? Find out!

That's right, the most famous blogging cow, John Cow (no relation to internet mogul John Chow). This 'cow' is more than just a copy cat though, he knows what he is doing. Everyone suspects that this is simply a bunch of kids having some fun, and that's probably true, but they are some smart kids. At the peek of John Chow becoming one of the most infuencial bloggers on the web, the cow roles into town just in time to make everyone take a quick glance at him. Although, with over 500 RSS readers, an expected high pagerank, and a deal with his mentor, Chow, the cow probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Another copycat that just hit the seen is the Million Euro Wiki, ironically enough, the cow was behind this operation as well. This site is a spin off of the ever growing Million Dollar Wiki, which offers users a page on the site for $100 that can be edited and sold. Man, this is one smart cow. I wonder what he has up his sleeve for next time.

I came across another copy cat recently, but this one has been around for a while, he just doesn't receive as much attention as that damn cow. His name is BootMoney (no relation to ShoeMoney). However, BootMoney doesn't seem to have his acorns together and hasn't made a new blog post in almost a month. His blog theme is also very amateurish, even for a copy cat. I would love to see more attention for BootMoney, it could be a potential top blog if it has the right staff behind it.

If you have your own copycat blog or site you'd like to reveal, you've kind of missed out on the phenomenon. Not to discourage you, but that damn cow ruined it for all the honest copy cats. However, if you generally believe in your copycat blog, go for it and send me a postcard if you get rich! Also, let me know of other copycat blogs around the net!
