WTF w/a ROFLCOPTER! This just screams spam. Schemes like this have been around since the early days of letter mail. Nobody gets money for nothing, and anyone who puts such personal information online is just begging to get hammered with massive amounts of unsolicited garbage. It's reasons like this many people are now masking their home addresses when buying domain names and whatnot. Hey, Nick, did you let this one through as a lead up for a post about old-fashioned scams being used on new-fashioned platforms? :P zOMG! WTF w/a ROFLCOPTER!

Get bloggers to write in return for backlinks/traffic. I think that could be the best source. Seems to me that he would benefit more from a JapanSoc style promotion method.

To be popular he needs good content, hence buying articles. I've outsourced article writing myself and had good results from it. You just need a good plan, patience, and cash upfront. ;) Advertisers come when a site is popular. To be popular he needs good content, hence buying articles.

Maybe I overlooked something or else there might be plans of advertisers after he has more content.

Considering how hard it is to find things around Japan in English (well ... on Google and Yahoo.ca, that is), I'm surprised that this site doesn't rank higher in the results. Perhaps instead of paying so much for an article, Japan Hopper could invest some of that money in advertising on GaijinPot or something similar :???: Either way, it's a great idea and I'll be sure to post any info (with pics) for sites I think are missing. Although I haven't been to many places, yet, it would be nice to write something positive and share some pictures with others who would like to enjoy the many sites this country has to see :) This is a pretty interesting idea.
