Did anybody get reviews from ShoeMoney or JohnChow?

I would say buy an advertisement in a trade magazine that is about your niche for $2000 and you will see better results and higher quality traffic as well as you could do so many things better for $2000 then get a review on shoemoney even tho I am a reader of his blog I don't pay attention to any post where it looks like its just a review that was paid for and you see with those they don't get as many comments either
