I promised myself I would keep the number of sites I review in this blog to a minimum. I only want to review sites that are of some meaning to me. And one of those sites is John Chow’s blog. It’s meaning to me? It has a lot of visitors, so that is a place I would want a link to my blog to be at.

I already reviewed his site on my other blog, but I also need a link somewhere on his blog to this site! And I know he will give me one if I review him again!

The more I read through John’s blog, the more I realize that most of his good articles are deeper in the archives. Good in the sense that they helped new bloggers to find their way. Now it seems as if making money has taken over, which totally is not a bad idea. But to the new blogger who might hear from John Chow, and read some of the many very good articles, might get disappointed in the more recent posts.

To be honest, I think that a lot of people keep visiting John Chow Dot Com because that’s one way to get exposed. There are so many others doing the same, that you are bound to meet some folks and to attract some of that traffic back to your own site when your picture is shown in his MyBlogLog widget or when you comment enough that your name is shown in the Top Commentators list. But that’s just what I think.

The best way to use John Chow’s blog for exposure, is to get your blog reviewed by him. For only $250 he will give your site a review with all necessary criticism. Unfortunately, I am not in the position at the moment to pay that kind of money. I can only hope for a miracle. And one such miracle would be that John would agree to review my blog and let me make it up to him over the following… say, 6 months? If not, I’ll just have to wait until I found my position!
