Review Of John Chow dot Com
Name: John Chow dot Com - The Miscellaneous Ramblings of a Dot Com Mogul
Title: Make Money Online with John Chow dot Com
URL: http://www.johnchow.com/
My Rating: *****
Short Description:
Make Money Online is an entertaining diary of a prolific enthusiast who is into making money online (calling himself a Dot Com Mogul), fine dining, travel and cars.
Why Is His Blog So Popular
I would say all that is about quality and passion. John is experienced in Internet marketing making a buzz of his projects. His posts are regular, providing intellectual food for his readers (and there are plentiful images of real food, too : ).
Who Is John Chow
We can learn about John from his blog a lot. He likes Chinese food, travels a lot, is fond of cars and works with his very successful tech site The TechZone .
Why Do I Like This Blog
First, I find a lot of useful information on this website. There are a lot of tips and tricks of a practitioner of Internet marketing who supports himself (and does it pretty well!) from his hobby/job. Then, his lifestyle and attitude to other people and their work (as can be seen from his reviews and posts) are appealing. To read his blog is like taking private lessons from an experienced Internet guru (or a Mogul : ) for free.

Review Me
If you want to make your site known to a large audience at once, order a review from John. He provides it now for 300 USD via a third party service http://www.reviewme.com .
Buzz about linking back
The idea of exchanging links with other sites, and setting a rule of an anchor text “Make Money Online” is simple and brilliant. It made John Chow dot Com a #1 on Google for Make Money Online! He is offering to link to your blog if you review his blog.
Agloco campaign
Each time John reaches a checkpoint of next 1000 subscribers, he tells about it. Last time he published 11000 mark. The idea of Agloco (earning money by browsing) that John approves of and advertises a lot, will be reviewed separately.
Dining post (pics and costs)
That is a true passion of John. His blog is a nice ground for a cookbook whenever you decide to write about Chinese food. You do not need to fetch any pictures aside from his blog. Then any city guide for Canada will find all the necessary information about restaurants and prices.
4-Level Evaluation
Wisdom - 6 out of 10 - pretty wise this man is, but mostly the site is not about life innermost values
Fun- 6 out of 10 - the videos like topless car washers are not the gist of this blog
Regularity - 9 out of 10 - the updates never stop, even when John travels, there are 3-4 new posts daily
Usefulness - 9 out of 10 - success stories along with practical tips and tricks supported by experience distinguish this site

Hello Alex
I just wanted to say hello since I dropped in after seeing you mentioned on John’s linkroll 59.
I’ve read your review of his site and it looks like the most comprehensive review I’ve seen so far. You put a bit of work into that and I think that shows good character.
It would have been easy to take the basic link requirements and do as little as possible, but you’ve gone the honorable route, which is great.

Hi Alex,
You did a good review of John’s blog. I think that 2 is better than 1, so if you review my blog too (which has PR4), I’m going to link back to yours. You could always use an extra link, wouldn’t you?
All the best,
