Although this is a paid review through PayPerPost, I have actually been a reader of John Chow's blog for a long time. I should also make it clear that I am NOT required to give a positive review, but in this case I am going to, because it's a site that every aspiring work-at-home web publisher needs to read.

I first noticed John Chow's blog about 6 months ago. It seemed to have the most interesting articles; so interesting that they were constantly getting linked to from Digg, Reddit, and other social bookmarking sites that I read. John Chow is on the "dot com beat," especially when it comes to topics like advertising with Adsense and optimizing a site for search engines.

One recent post on the site, Google Lays Down The Ad & Image Placement Law, covered the changes Google has made in their Adsense TOC. They no longer allow images aligned next to Adsense ads, a popular strategy used by many publishers to increase their click through rate (CTR). I can't say I was happy to read that post, but I'm glad I was informed.

The only complaint I have about the site is hardly a negative at all. I feel that the Corvette picture at the top misrepresents the content of the site. I guess that would only matter to first time visitors who might think they landed on the wrong site with a focus on cars. That said, the picture does look pretty sweet, and it encourages me to try to earn more money. He recently changed the color of the car to blue from red, apparently to match the color scheme change on the site. I think I liked it better in red.

As you can tell from that last paragraph, I had to be very picky to find something wrong with the site. I will likely never say this about a paid review ever again: bookmark John Chow's site, and visit it often.
