Maybe it’s just me but lately I’ve been seeing Darren Rowses’ face everywhere I go on the internet. Incase you guys have no idea who Darren Rowse is, he’s literally a “Pro Blogger” and makes a great living from it. His main blog is ProBlogger.net and he has over 141,000 subscribers, currently.
Anyways, I admit I don’t go to his website(s) as often as I would like especially since he has some useful information which is always helpful. And now that I’m pretty much done brown-nosing
, we can finally get to where I’m seeing his face on the internet.
Well, I’m basically seeing his face on almost every site that has Google Ads displayed. Don’t get me wrong, I know he’s pretty popular, especially in the blogosphere, but how often would I want to see him. Of course, no disrespect to Darren but I swear I’m seeing him more times daily than I see my e-mails. And I check my e-mails a lot throughout the day!
Don’t worry, don’t worry, I wouldn’t want to see my face everywhere I go either.
To be fair, he probably has nothing to do with it. Well, maybe just a little bit. But it seems as though Chitika is running a crazy Google Adwords campaign and that’s why we’re seeing his face everywhere. Just think of him as one of the new spokespersons of L’Oreal Makeup, um, Chitika.
Incase you haven’t noticed it because your eyes shuts down just about any ad that’s on a website, it would look something like:
I know that’s probably not the best ad but that’s the latest one that I’ve seen. But I have seen their ads (and Darren’s face) on almost all of the main sites that I visit regularly including Youtube and most of my own sites. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw him lurking at you in the comfort of your own home while checking your e-mails! It almost feels like he’s internet stalking you!
But have you seen him lately? He’s like those Geico commercials with the money that has eyes with the “Somebody’s Watching Me” song playing in the background.
Please note: This post was just a joke and it’s not intended on offending anyone, particularly Chitika or Darren. I simply just wanted to comment on him appearing everywhere.





I have to admit that I haven’t seen the Darren Rowse ads yet.
To be perfectly honest, I almost, “shut down,” and missed it in your post!
Are we becoming that numb to ad campaigns?
I’d have to agree, it’s crazy the amount of times I see a Chikita ad in a week! Must be working for them though!

It’s funny you mention that because I noticed that a few months back but didn’t say anything. Oh by the way, Darren Rowse’s main blog is actually Digital Photography School. ProBlogger came after. Now who is the brown nose?! lol
His latest project and collaborations have accelerated his success into the mainstream for sure.

For some reasons, I have never had any success with Chitika… I wonder how much Darren is paid for..
Agreed – I’ve seen it everywhere, on sites like TinyPic, the Arsenal forum I visit, About.com, it’s popped up on a couple of niche sites as well (and as I type this comment guess who’s showing in your Adsense ad in the sidebar? Yep.)
For fucks sake. I’ve got nothing against Darren or Chitika like yourself, but there’s only a certain amount of times I can see someone’s face in a day and not get tired of it…

Yes Jay you have noticed some nice things, I also seeing Darren’s photo while I am browsing through different blog and websites, I think this is one extra brand promotion.

That’s Darren??? First time I saw his face, although it seems I read of him everywhere. I’ll probably be seeing him all over the place now, too.
