Take More Risks

John Chow – the self proclaimed net mogul – has ran a personal blog over on Johnchow.com since December 2005. Whilst the site has existed for little over a year it has been phenomenally successful working it’s way into the Top 2000 websites in Technorati.

Below is a Clint Eastwoodesque review of the website which was written in response to his (rather clever) linkback offer.

The Good

• Regularly updated providing coverage of the latest affiliate programs that matter. See Agloco

• Boasts a large readership who aren’t afraid to provide their 2 cents.

• John’s manipulation of social bookmarking websites such as Digg is inspiring.

• Honest (sometimes to a fault) about his earnings and tactics.

• Consistently strong writing helps showcase his personality and sense of humor effectively (something which is missing all too often in this current era of the ghost writer).

• The Top Posts section is handy for finding his best work.

• Numerous pictures of mouthwatering food posted regularly. Now that can never be a bad thing, can it?

The Bad

• The site’s template - whilst functional and attractive - lacks a little bit of personality.
• Perhaps his personal and business posts could be separated more effectively?

The Ugly

• I would not want to push in front of him in the bar queue for obvious reasons…….
