It is really inspiring and amazing to talk about other people’s success, especially when we are talking about Shoemoney and JohnChow‘s success in their respective blogs. As we all know, they are in a RSS competition. As the month of October is ending, it looked like John Chow is heading towards the finish line first ahead of Shoemoney. Then last night out of nowhere, Shoemoney dashes ahead of John Chow and Shoe wins. I know Shoemoney will win because he has more sites that JC (Please correct me if I’m wrong). But how come or where did Shoemoney get those numbers in a day? I know there are no specific rules in this competition but Shoe, how did you do it? 4,000+ RSS subscribers in a day? Wow that’s huge. Congratulations to both of you.

Some statistics:

John Chow gained a total of 4691 RSS SubScribers

====>

Shoemoney gained a total of 7170 RSS Subscribers

====>

Trick or Treat? Happy Halloween to all…….
