Million Euro Wiki Affiliate Program
You have probably read the rants, complaints and bloggers out there saying this is a scam. Don’t believe them. These people are feeding off negative press and patently untrue remarks.
How is buying anything a scam if you own it? A scam would be me trying to sell you a bridge in Florida. This isn’t the case here. Furthermore to prove a point that it isn’t a scam and that you can make money buying a page on the Million Euro Wiki, a new affiliate program has been started.
If you request to get your own coupon code (which is free for page owners) you can offer $10 off on the purchase of any page (use my coupon code Flagusco). In turn, you get $30 from the sale of every page you refer with your coupon code. Does that sound like a scam? I didn’t think so.
A $100 ($90 if you use my coupon code) can also get you a brand spankin’ new 16GB Apple iPod Touch. I should know, I won the second one. You see, for every 25 pages sold on the MEW, an iPod Touch will be given away until they have given away 20 in total. Two have been given away as I mentioned. The first went to John Chow and I won the second.
Personally that was enough motivation for me, plus I decided to buy a page for something I know about. My “Investing” page is currently ranked 18th with 182 views (at the time of this writing). Since buying the page a week ago, my Google Adsense revenue has increased somewhat and I feel that I have some genuinely good information out there. I fully plan on adding more content to it as well. Some of the pages don’t even have content and are ranked quite high probably out of mere curiosity.
The bottom line here is that a thing only has value if you place value on it. I bet you have $100 lying around somewhere. How about this: instead of getting that latte in the morning and eating out for lunch, you bring coffee in a thermos, brown bag it for 2 weeks and take the $10 a day you were spending on food/drink and stash it in a can. After 2 weeks, check the can…you might find there’s $100 in it. David Bach, the author of “The Automatic Millionaire” calls this the latte factor. It’s something to think about. Your investment could very well double or triple.
Rest assured, no blogger would ruin their reputation trying to scam a couple thousand dollars from people especially when you can make so much more money being honest.

A scam is selling something that is worth almost nothing for $100.
To prove how worthless these pages are I have created a free alternative at spamipedia.org (from which I do not profit, I have no aff links of my own in that site).
Also having read these three articles:

http://www.johnchow.com/make-money-online-with-the-million-euro-wiki/
I have the following three questions:
1) How did cash quests know the review on John Chow was going to be positive… John Chow has been known to rip schemes apart in the past.
2) Did John Chow pay $100 for his MEW page.
3) Did MEW pay for their review on John Chow
You have made money by bagging a good term at the right time, but the vast majority of customers will be disappointed… that’s my take on it anyway.
You wanna recommend it to your readers, thats fine too, I will continue to warn my readers off it. I don’t think they would appreciate such a recommendation.

It’s great that you have a free site but the question is are you actively going to be marketing it? My guess is no, since you aren’t making money off the site you presumably would spend no time marketing it and any popularity gained from the site being active is simply a by-product of the content created there.
Just because a site doesn’t rank in google highly after only a few days of operation doesn’t make it a scam, nor does charging any price you feel is fair. If I told you it would cost you $1000.00 to build a 10 page website with graphics, navigation and all the bells and whistles you need you would probably think it a rip-off but to me, my time is valuable and what I decide to charge for something is based on the time and effort I know it takes to build something.
Value, you see is completely subjective. Why is a hamburger at burger king $2.00 but go to Chez Louis and you pay $10 for the same burger? It’s all the same beef, it’s just percieved value because of the ambience and marketing.
It’s true, some people aren’t going to buy good keywords but that goes for any business. Being lucky is better than being good 90% of the time. Timing is everything especially in business.
I appreciate your point of view and thanks for taking time to comment here, your questions are intelligent and well thought out.

Hi James,
No I wont be promoting it, a point made by the owners of MEW.
Your point on value, or perception of it being subjective is interesting.
In the case of MEW there is a more objective test, that being whether a page pays for itself.
It will be an interesting one to watch anyway, Im sure people who have MDW and MEW pages will continue to write about how good or bad they are.
