After reading the title of this post, you probably know what I am talking about. Notice how John Chow has only been posting ReviewMe reviews for the past few weeks? Don’t you think that he is killing his own blog by making money for himself instead of writing quality posts for his readers. Don’t get me wrong, there might be a few that actually like to read those reviews, but what about everyone else? Another thing that I don’t like about the reviews is that he writes too much negative comments about the advertiser he’s talking about. Instead of helping the advertisers with what they paid $400 for, he does the opposite by contradicting almost everything he can find about them. By the way, what’s up with cars on his site? I really can’t write anymore about this since there is just too much to talk about John and his degrading blog, so just go ahead and read Josh Spaulding’s post, John Chow dot Com Review - Scammer. I really like John’s site, but I think that he just needs to write for his readers more than writing for his money.
By the way, don’t forget to take the survey about which site you think had the better redesign between ProBlogger and John Chow dot Com. I need at least 50+ votes before I can post about it and the results. If it’s possible, please mention the poll on your own blog. I would appreciate any help.

John definitely has some issues he needs to work out. Reviews shouldn’t be 100% positive, but to take $400 to completely bash people is just wrong.
btw, thanks for the plug, but my name is Josh not John
Sorry about that Josh! Fixed it now.
I do agree with this article and I think Shoemoney has more taste
That makes Problogger a lot more better than John Chow! With product reviews, at least put some positive light instead of all negative even if it is your honest feeling. Hey, there’s got to be something positive about a product/service, at least one!
