    He recently changed it. The title was "Make Money Online With John Chow Dot Com" before.

    and don't forget JohnCow.com, who made kind of a spoof of his blog and it turned out to be an extremely good one. Check out a recent interview here with the Cow

    I'm sure they said the same about the enron guy.
    It's the same principle used by a lot of businesses. 90% of the time, people believe you're as good as you say you are, unless approached by evidence to the contrary.

    It is the law of marketing. Nobody likes a looser, everybody loves to hear the story of winners. So we have to present the positive sides of what we have.

    No dude, I think it works. I know from experience. If you are good at something, you have to bring it to the light let others know about it. When you look for a job, for example, you are the one who have to show all your expertise to the prospective employee.

    I personally don't have too much of a problem with him. But there are thousands of people that make a living online. The difference between him and others is that he has a blog devoted to talk about it. Others might even surprise you.

    I personally love John Chow, I mean the guy made 20k last month so good for him. How many people can do that off one blog and not off multiple ventures

    While John Chow doesn't always give the best example of how to run a website (just in my opinion - its still a good examplle), he's been really good at link baiting and attarcting visitors, and keeping them coming back - in spite of being penalized by Google, in spite of having quite frequent paid reviews, and inspite of posting a lot of affiliate promotions.

    Not to mention the way he monetizes his site.

    I think what you said right here is the true thing that makes John Chow special. Not so much know-how or articles you can truly monitize, but keeping the articles to the level where the next one might be "the next big thing".
    That, and being able to withstand Google's slap at him. That's always rough to cope with, and I didn't think he could do it. I was wrong I guess.

    $20,000 a month isn't considered a mogul?
