If not, what does it matter if John blogs about food or black hat? When bloggers say they no longer are being helped by John Chow’s money making posts as in the past, can they document how much actual money was made with the help of John Chow’s blog?

If not, what does it matter if John blogs about food or black hat?

He is still able to make 30000 $ from his blog and he want that alone. :-) I guess he is not worried about all these. He is still able to make 30000 $ from his blog and he want that alone. :-)

However, I think the main argument here was that his traffic is dropping and I dont see anything that indicates that it is. The number of subscribers to his blog has greatly increased since the start of the blog so I am certain traffic is up. Alexa has improved their calculation of traffic but at the end of the day, their traffic rating system still sucks. It can give a slight indication but it is not fool proof, far from it. Before alexa changed its ratings etc my old poker forums had about 4 times as much traffic as my blog, yet my blog had a rating under 30,000 and my poker forums had a rating around 250,000. After Alexa changed, it has improved a little, however it is still inaccurate and should be used as a guide only and not as fact.

John chow has definitely written some great posts in the past but as someone here mentioned, he has lost his focus on delivering good content in recent times...every post of his is nothing but a review post on anything ranging from blogs to food and hotels, that pay him for those reviews...unfortunately they were mesmerized by john chow's marketing skills...no doubt that john chow is a great marketer on the internet but he failed to help people make money online.... Mybloglog has been chiefly instrumental in making johnchow.com and johncow.com popular by continuously showing them as hot communities for years together...somehow john chow has stuck a great deal there and mybloglog had been very biased in doing so... let me add one more thing, even doshdosh.com with its good content has failed...this is another make money online blog that attracted mybloglog... compare johchow.com, doshdosh.com and labnol.org or even quickonlinetips.com on alexa... labnol.org and quickonlinetips.com are way ahead of the johnchows,cows and doshdoshes... Alexa is a traffic ranking site and how come these blogs are continuing to do well than the others? Ponder :) Kevin,

I'm no John Chow hater, but the traffic plummeting was something that took me aback equally! I don't think JC has noted this down ride yet..hope this will help nudge him. :) Cheers mate!
