A few months ago I stumbled upon a blog called johnchow.com.   John Chow is a dot com mogul.  He started thetechzone.com, a very successful tech site.  Unlike most of the larger sites coming from the U.S., this site is based out of Canada.

John’s site inspired me to move my blog from blogger over to Wordpress.  He had a top 10 list of Wordpress plugins that encouraged me to switch to get the more customizable features and control of using my own hosted blog.  Now I have a blog domain after my own name.  I guess that’s sort of vain, but I figure if I get famous like John Chow its worth something.  If not, then if some other Dax Desai gets famous I could sell the domain to him.

I’ve been reading John’s blog almost daily now.  He maintains excellent posts and consistancy which is why I’m so attracted to it.  He posts about dining, technology, and business on the web and SEO.  His SEO article are excellent and I highly recommend you read his blog or add it to your RSS feeds.

John inspired me to customize my blog and he also inspired me to try my hand at SEO.  This blog entry/review is a trade for getting  a linkback on his highly Technorati ranked blog back.  This was an excellent idea John had to improve his own ranking.  I’ve watched as his rank has skyrocketed.  It works for him.  Maybe it will work a little for me.  Of course you still must maintain good content.  I wish John good luck and many thanks for his advice and tips.  I’ve left comments before and he has literally responded within 10mins.  Now that is attention and quality!
