That might not have been a paid review and sometimes(I am clutching at straws here) a negative review can be a good one because reverse psychology comes into play and people wan't to see if they can prove the reviewer wrong.
Can't agree more. Would you want associate with someone who is banned by GOOGLE? No way! Stay out and save your $400 If you are too desparate for those 1-2 day traffic surge, pay 5 cents for each stumble that will prolly give more traffic and long lasting hehe. think logically before investing.
its exposure, that is the only reason why advertisers pay hi 400$ because he gives an honest review. for example one recent was andrewtalk.com I think it was and he stole blog post from johnchow and he wrote a mean review for the site, that 400$ went to waste on the other hand the other reviews are mostly positive - and its great exposure for the upcoming blogs or advertising in my opinion john chow blog is more of a commercial blog now - it rarely provides tips as when he first started
I seriously think that JohnChow is decreasing the quality of his site with all those reviews that he does. He basically only posts to write a paid review.
Yeah specially for grammar mistake on his review to jordan blog Jordan did managed to make ten posts in March but the following month Code (markup): I think it should be Jordan did manage Code (markup): With those 400$ I can just buy loads of advertising clicks and get the exposure that I need also a review won't work to get traffic unless you have a site that if offering content (and continuously updated content) to build a reader base
Ok, We all agree it's not worth it for SEO - let's move on. Not one person mentioned his target audience... I am at a loss for words. The Target Audience is the best determination for whether a campaign is worth it or not. John Chow has a large following of bloggers, webmasters and entrepreneurs who all share one thing in common. They want to make money online. Not only does he have a large following, but people often quote him on other blogs, which only helps spread his reach. If you don't have a real business or big website, of course it's a waste of money. If you can tell me a better place to reach those people, I'm listening.
It use to be $250 at one time I believe. Besides if he does review your site and leaves a negative review. People will still visit the site regardless. What the saying? Even negative response is still a response. Something like that. People will still stay tuned in. One still can get traffic etc.
This is what i was thinking its not worth it I was just curious if there was a reason people actually used the service though lol
Ok, il give it a try next month and i let you guys know how it went. I will be targeting just the kind of audience he gets so it should work out.
The blog that chow slags off has now been redesigned and reinvented ... I hate this double bluff, link bait BS.
His $400 price is not too high, however the problem I see with most sites is that they aren't ready for the "john chow effect". A lot of sites are prematurely getting those $400 reviews, and not monetizing the upsurge in traffic. 3/4's of those sites really have no biz getting those paid reviews. If you have a good product that you are selling, and is priced high enough - John Chow will do wonders for you. If you have a product that sucks, he will chew you up. As far as being banned from Google etc, google is not the end all be all.
He didnt' even rank for his own name a while ago and was recently devalued in google I have way more " Link Juice " than john chow, he could learn from me why would I pay that arrogant chinaman to tell me how much better I am than him.
Your a idiot listen to this big fart I have for ya, he has a shitty ass 0 following and no where near 7000 rss readers fuck I could slam a feedreader crapola shit and register every bot that hits my rss url I garantee it would " Eclipse " his. But regardless the guys a idiot and the internet has tonnes of them, we all want a " Success Story " on the internet and since their are 0... we make up one very rarly do we find someone as ignorant as john chow that believes his own shit. And I thank him for serving this purpose so greatly.... 60 bucks a month in adsense is no success story JOhn Chow.
Lol, somebody is having a bad day I find some of John's posts good. Some of them are good, and the ones I don't like - I'm feel to ignore. I follow the "take you what you want, and leave the rest" philosophy with anyone's wisdom. There's always something to learn from practically anyone.
