Who is John Chow really? John Chow is a blogger living in Canada who founded The TechZone which has become one of the largest hardware tech sites on the Internet.
John Chow wants everyone to think that he is a Dot Com mogul of some sort although the reality is he is nothing close to a Dot Com mogul.
John Chow runs his own blog at John Chow Dot Com and it's a perfect example of blogging at it's worst and an attempt to mislead the masses into believing he is something more than what he actually is.
John Chow thinks so highly of his blog that he has become more of a nuisance than an actual contribution to the blogosphere.
Mr. Chow runs his blog which serves no real purpose other than trying to solicit readers into believing they will make money by signing up with his advertisers and affiliates or by doing as he does.
Does John Chow really think anyone with any sort of intelligence is going to pay him $500 which is the rate he charges to review a blog? I mean come on John Chow can hardly spell by the look of his blog which has a large amount of broken English.
Google has went as far as to penalize John Chow's blog by removing it from it's search results for a period of time and Digg also at one point banned John Chow.

Jeez, I could not agree more. John Chows blog really is the prime example of how blogging can go awry.
Nice post man.
Thanks for the post. The more people that talk negative about me, the better. All you're doing is helping to drive traffic to my blog.
Of course you are allow to say anything you want but all you're really doing is calling me smart and my readers dumb, since they're the ones who made me so big.
And guess what? Thanks to your post, you've just made me a little bit bigger. :)
Alexa rates John's site as #43,681 and yours as #347,487 (as of the time I write this). As someone who has been thinking about blogging to create a secondary source of income, thank you for letting me know about John's blog!! I think I can learn a lot from it.
