John Chow

Today I want to talk about John Chow and his blog called "johnchow.com". Like Gobala, John is also offering to give you a backlink from his site in return for you writing a review of his site. Unlike Gobala, John is not using a "nofollow" attribute on his links which means that you can pick up a backlink from him which is supposed to help to move your own site up the Google ranking charts.

John Chow dot Com is a blog that claims to help you make money online. If you do a review of his blog, he’ll link to you so his readers can check you out.

So why should you do this?

You shouldn't. He has been Google slapped for Google Bombing his site with the term "make money online" and the end result is that he lost PR and had his site tossed into the depths of the serp's for the very term he was trying to dominate.

John Chow has little useful advice for anyone and he makes money by convincing noobs that they should sign up to all the programs he promotes on his site. The programs are useless at making noobs money but since John is paid to promote them he does just fine.

Do yourself a favor and take everything he says with a grain of salt - you might be interested in knowing that this blog does occupy a page 1 listing on Google for the term "make money online" so I might be worth listening to.
