Structured Settlements 4Real®Blog 2026

The excerpted words of John Jonas, posted and then removed from his blog (but thankfully saved in an RSS feed) in all of his self-glorfied arrogance:

"It’s not every day you get an article written about you in Wired Magazine.***

This week I got numerous emails asking me if I had seen the article. Page 104. (my name is specifically mentioned on page 106)

I’ll admit, I’ve done my share of blackhat stuff online. I continue to do my share of it. As long as it works, I’ll continue to do it.

Why?

It works!

Period.

I don’t care if you hate me for it. "

"The fact is, splogging was huge a few months ago. It’s still big now, but people have already moved on. Just like email spam was huge 3 years ago, but now people have moved on. What people don’t realize is that it’s unbelievably profitable.

If people realized how profitable and how easy spam is, there would be a lot more people doing it.

In fact, there ARE a lot more people doing it. You just don’t realize it because most of it doesn’t affect you.

Another thing about spam is that I think it’s one of the fastest ways to learn different ways of legitimately making money online. When you get into this stuff, it’s amazing how much there is to learn about conversion, and advertising, and search engines, and sales.

"I got an email today from someone asking how I reconcile splogging with morals.

I don’t.

I don’t think the two have anything to do with each other.

Why do people feel the need to relate an online marketing tactic with ethics or morals. "
