Blog Review: John Chow Dot Com
Disclosure: This is not one of my usual blog reviews. This review is simply to get a back link from John Chow Dot Com in exchange for reviewing his blog.
Probably one of the more well-known affiliate marketing blogs, John Chow Dot Com is all about makign money online. Content, here, ranges in category from Technology and The Net, to Cars and fine dining.
One salient feature of John Chow Dot Com is the number of ads/buttons on his site. If you're internet connection is under stress from other applications, page load times can be tedious. In addition to a number of banners, John seems to have every affiliate badge under the sun featured on his blog. This makes, moreover, for a rather loud and distracting experience for the user. Then again, it is a blog about making money, and he did generate over $17,000 USD in the month August alone. It would seem, then, that John's user base doesn't mind the aesthetic distortion.
One thing I would like to see on the site (as with any other) is more multi-media. While John has pimped out his site with affiliate program badges, the content is still relatively un-dimensional. Whether it be vlog posts or podcasts, John could really extend his online brand if he step it up a notch media-wise. After all, affiliate marketing bloggers are no stranger to either video (ShoeMoney) or podcasts (Pronet's Rush Hour).
