I’ve read JohnChow.com every day since October, so now it’s time to give back with a special shoutout post for anyone who isn’t up-to-speed on everything JohnChow.com.
John Chow is the “Dot Com Mogul” behind TheTechZone.com. In his personal blog, John covers everything from sports cars to fine dining, while candidly explaining exactly how he monetizes his blog, and built The Tech Zone into a success.
For anyone interested in learning SEO, SMO, Adsense, and the general business of the internet, here are my favorite John Chow posts to help you get started on digging through the nuggets on his site.
