At the end of each month in some form of weird male celebratory fashion I ravage through my posts from the month and some of the things that went on here during the course of the month, and for some reason I seem to believe that some of you actually read it.
The best part of the Extreme John Monthly Recap for me is getting to reward some of the top contributors and bloggers I have had the chance to network with over the course of the month, not to mention it’s a great way to get you to leave lots of comments and share the recap with your Twitter followers 
Before we get started I wanted to remind everyone that the Extreme John $250 Fan Sign Contest starts today.

Those are pretty impressive numbers there, John. It’s good to see them constantly on the rise. I also notice your Alexa rank is 40K now. I think you said one time that your blog was about nothing in particular. Well, that “blog about nothing” seems to be scratching a lot of folks’ itches. Keep up the good work and thanks for the link luv.
Keith@Norman Rockwell Art´s last blog ..Sep 15, Norman Rockwell Christmas Items Make The Holidays Special
@Keith@Norman Rockwell Art, yeah it’s strange the crap that people will read on the internet
Hey I will just consider the Alexa stuff a quick lucky streak, everything that goes up……
So there for enjoy it while I can.
At the end of previous month.. I got real busy with all the renovation going on at my place, so didn’t make it to the Top Commentators list of yours
…Maybe this month.. 
Compute Live´s last blog ..Fix blurry MMS pictures on iPhone 3G/3G[S]/Edge/ T-Mobile
@Compute Live, I was pretty surprised because you were on fire there for a while, I think at a few points you were number 1.
Whats numbers anyway? Just have fun with it, and either way I appreciate your comments. Daily, weekly or monthly.
@Extreme John,
Thanks for the kind words John
I really love to read your articles whatever it maybe..So I will always be on Fire here :twisted:
Compute Live´s last blog ..Fix blurry MMS pictures on iPhone 3G/3G[S]/Edge/ T-Mobile
@Compute Live, I look forward to each and every comment
The most interesting thing to me is that you get some Yahoo! and Bing search traffic: I’m still stymied on how to get any of that.
But yeah – your blog’s a ton of fun to comment on, keep up the good work!
ashok´s last blog ..Note on Alice Shapiro’s “I”
@ashok, it would be more interesting to me if I would get more Bing traffic, especially since I use that more than Google in the current stage.
One of those personal choices.
John you know I really enjoy reading your blogs for this few days and you had shared a lot of interesting stuff in this blog, I’ll be following you no matter how in this coming days.
I see your Alexa ranking is climbing non-stop, I’ll be more happy to see you climbing up to 10k ranking. :D
Thanks for the link love as well! Feeling good to get featured here in this blog!
@Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online, hey you can’t turn around and thank me if I am already thanking you
Haha, happy that I could feature you here and it’s a pleasure having your comments around here as well, your an excellent new addition to the community.
As for that Alexa rank ever getting in the Top 10,000 that’s not something I see coming anytime in the near future. Thank you for the well wishes on that one.
@Extreme John, lol! John there is no standard blogging formula or rule stated that I can’t turn around and thank you in return haha!
I’m happy to be part of the community here and the most important part is that I enjoy reading your blog!
Perhaps not in the short period, but I think it may achieve in some days later since your blog is growing rapidly and I’m sure you’ll be getting more new loyal readers in this blog.
Again, thanks for featuring me in this blog!
@Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online, I think I am just going to call you the rebel from now on, breaking all these unwritten blogging rules.
@Lee Ka Hoong, don’t be like that John haha, rules are dead but human is live, so rules can’t be modified anytime.
I like these kind of posts, giving an overview of he progress you’re making.Too bad im not in the top commentators spot, I guess I’ll have to contribute more often to make the grade.
John your a life saver, that post templates plugin is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
I’ll be looking forward to your next monthly recap and I’ll be doing my monthly stats post in the next 2 weeks so can’t wait to see our progression.
Blaine Bullman´s last blog ..6 Benefits Of Blogging
@Blaine Bullman, I am looking forward to your recap as well, you know I will be by to check it out.
That post template plugin is really heaven sent, I can’t even imagine having a blog without one at this point.
Nice stats going on there XJ.. how long has this blog (in it’s various forms) been around?
Hard Rocking South African@Music Judge´s last undefined ..If you register your site for free at
@Hard Rocking South African@Music Judge, in blogging form I would say it’s going to be 2 years on December 1st. prior to that it really sat kind of dormant as an html site that I would update once every 8 months.
Geez, I can’t belive I’m not in top 10 commentators yet…. EVERYBODY: Please stop commenting for a week or so, giving the rest of us a chance
Klaus @ TechPatio´s last blog ..Palm Users Waving Goodbye To iTunes Sync?
@Klaus @ TechPatio, I really thought for sure you were going to be in the Top 10, either way at least you know I appreciate the network we have going on.
Now get to work and stop asking others to slack off, that’s a terminable offense
@Extreme John, You are right, I have only myself to blame….
Klaus @ TechPatio´s last blog ..Palm Users Waving Goodbye To iTunes Sync?
@Klaus @ TechPatio, hey thats the first step in correction, recognizing the problem. haha j/k your an awesome part of this blog at any capacity.
Cool. I’ll try to be in your top 10 commentators this month
And kudos for the improving alexa 
@Kurt Avish, thats great news Kurt I wish you the best of luck, I think next month I have a better idea for posting the Top 10
haha, I’m sorry John but I really had a good laugh on @techpatio’s comment. What do you think, should we give him chance?
Anyway, great blog you got going here and my Weekly Echo was partly inspired by your Sunday Smashes and now I have to think about a monthly thing too? Keep it up, you rock.
BTW, I could not help but notice that one of your top referrers is Mashable? What’s the scoop
DiTesco´s last blog ..DiTesco’s iBlogZone Is For Sale
@DiTesco, I laughed pretty good at Kraus’ comment also it was pretty funny, as for giving him a chance. He knows the rules around here, no slacking off and aksing others to do so will be grounds for release.
If I explained the Mashable thing I would have to go into hiding. You know I have been doing a little study with that, which should be done in a couple of weeks at which point if what I find out is useful I will post it
What a month!
I think I need to do something like this in the future
ShaunJudy@Blogging Tips´s last blog ..KnockOut Thursday 10-01-09
@ShaunJudy@Blogging Tips, why the eye roll? Smile and be happy and doing a recap is a great idea, gives your new readers a chance to see some of the things they might have missed.
John, this really is an excellent idea. I love reading your summaries and seeing who referred you, where people came from, most popular posts, etc. I’ve found a number of other great blogs from yours – such as Nothing But Random, MMA Gumbo and Making Money Online – all ones I follow daily now too.
@The Constant Complainer, thanks bro I appreciate that. With the originality of your posts and the popularity of your site I bet you would see some real traffic benefits to creating a monthly recap.
Hey John,
I just discovered your site and hope to become a regular. I am also impressed with you Bing traffic. I cant get anywhere with Bing.
Keep up the good work
@chuck@Padre Island, thank you Chuck I am happy you found the place, hopefully you will hang around for a while, we have some excellent people that are part of the community here. From all walks of life, having another excellent member of the community would be great!
Thank you for the kind words.
Thanks for the link love John, as always.
14.000 visits from Google in a month? How? Amazing.

This is a really awesome post! I wish I had made the list, but I see I have a ways to go. LOL:)
Ms. Freeman´s last blog ..How to Avoid Hosting Suspension and Data Loss
@Ms. Freeman, I’m sure youll get there it’s really not that hard.
You get decent traffic from bing, i donno why i don’t get traffic maybe because my blog is quite young.
I agree commenting is the best way to make connections and get traffic to your blogs.
gautam hans´s last blog ..Blog Engage – A Social Media Site for your Blog Promotion
@gautam hans, did you use the Bing Toolkit? I posted about that a few months back?
@Extreme John, I haven’t seen that, but i will surely search and find it, i though meta keywords are responsible for it but that can’t be done in blogger
Gautam Hans´s last blog ..Blog Engage – A Social Media Site for your Blog Promotion
John, your work proves that passion and energy are intrinsically attractive. A blog doesn’t have to be “about” anything at all it gives energy away freely!
Dave Doolin´s last blog ..Advanced SEO IMG Element Handling For WordPress (Part II)
@Dave Doolin, wow Dave thank you.
Hey John… thanks for the love as always! Glad to see we can get you a few visitors still
Glad you reminded me about the Fan Contest… as we got to get to work on something!
Doug Dillard´s last blog ..Comment Contest Winners Announced for Sept. 2009
@Doug Dillard, I need to keep reminding people or nothing will ever get submitted.
I am 7th in Top 10 Commentator but I think I could have made to 3rd or 4th spot but sadly I slowed down commenting on many blogs 2 weeks back as the exams restricted me to sit in front of my PC for not more than 2 hrs a day.
Will try my best to be between 1st and 4th spot this month ;)
Typhoon´s last blog ..WebHostingGeek – A Site to Help you Choose The Best Web Hosting

Hi John, great re-cap and special thanks for mentioning the plugins you use to find out the stats, this will certainly help my weekly stats out
Karen@Blazing Minds´s last blog ..On the Success of the Blazing Minds Interviews comes Who’s The Band?
@Karen@Blazing Minds, those plugins are a huge time saver.

Hey John, despite the fact I don’t comment often on your blog, doesn’t mean I don’t visit your blog often ;)
as a matter of fact, I visit your blog about every 2 days, especially your photo section where we can find some great topless ladies pictures lol just kidding.
Your alexa ranking is increasing significantly! You did a great job!
