SURGE...THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE JOHN CHOW EFFECT

jollyjologo.jpgI should have known something was up when I got up this morning and saw a huge spike in my traffic. Unbelievable is the more appropriate way to describe it. But then, it came to me quickly...John Chow!

That's right folks, as everyone knows, John Chow Dot Com is one of the most successful, widely read, and most commented on blog in the blogosphere I have visited frequently and read of the benefits to be derived from a review by the man himself . So with Christmas just around the corner, I decided to order me a treat that quite possibly could last for many Christmases to come. Things are already looking good!

In ordering the review, I was keen to have John focus, not so much on just "another site review", but rather on Jollyjo's inspirational "second coming" blog theme.  After all, many of us can identify very well (either personally or through family or friends) with failures and other life disasters and remarkable untold comeback stories.

In John's case, I am sure many readers would want to hear from someone having a tremendous amount of success and how he overcame some of life's curve balls. I am sure he could go on and on; but the snippet of the experience in the aftermath of the Internet "bust" should serve as an inspiration, especially to those looking to make a name in today's very competitive Internet space, (as if throngs aren't already motivated by him).

Finally,  as was posted at the end of the post, I am giving away a free John Chow review to one lucky reader; but to be honest, I was surprised by the speed with which John posted. Of course, I apologise for not having more details posted on the site today.

For all those who have inquired, I intend to honor the promise and by the end of the week will post details on how the review can be won and hopefully also get John to post. In JC's review, I got an early Christmas present, the lucky reader can consider their's a new year's surprise!

Kudos to you Adrian! Do you really have to pay for a review in his blog? I guess I need to get a blog going soon. I read the review and can understand why you got so many spikes on the JollyJo website. I love the book reviews and articles and assume you'll publish more. I'll be looking forward to reading them.

congrats on the spike in traffic. I've been doing some research on johnchow reviews. i've found that it's similar to a digg effect. U get a spike in traffic...but then it quickly drops. i personally don't think a review on johnchow is worth the price he charges. but to each his own. it would be cool if you posted in about a week or so in the drop of traffic.

Bloggernoob...great to have you visit. The surge was so great I am sure there will be a substantial fall off but as you know there are also many other benefits.

BTW...I see you are doing extremely well...congrats and don't be a stranger here!
