What do you guys think about John Chow? Is he a blogger to look up to or just a great marketer?

I look up to anyone that makes 23k a month

^^ I agree

but still though, i don't really care how much these people make. I am more concerned with learning and implementing with myself how to make money.

lets be honest here. there are many of us, or people we know, who are pumping out forums, blogs, and sites with the hopes of one of them hitting it big like this, because once it does, and if you can manage it, you can make some huge money for a while (maybe longer). So of course this is something to be admired IMO because he is making a ton of money and if you look at his site it does not seem that it will slow down any time soon. And even if it does and he makes 10K or 15K a month instead of 23K....he is still doing incredibly well.
I do not think there is one person who comes to this site that would not take what he is getting right now. so to answer the original question - I think he is a little bit of both and has done his promoting and blogging and site building incredibly well to this point.

Some great income there.

However, I can't seem to enjoy his site. It is just soooo cluttered to me. But I am against tons of stuff on pages. It obviously works for him though.

I don't read the blog since I just cannot find it to "speak" to me .. I like copyblogger or problogger more, but I have to admire Chow for the excellent job he is doing. This is certainly an excellent way to do business online.

I made $28k this month...a good month for me. John Chow will continue to make money off his blog. He migth top off pretty soon though. And with Google penalizing his site it will restrict his traffic. Personally I don't know if advertisers will continue once they find out his status with Google. I wonder what kind of traffic the site has.

My friend who I sysadmin for makes a very solid $xx,xxxx income every month too. It's not that hard if you are willing to place the effort and dedication. The hard part is the motivation. Most people are just not self-motivated and give up after a failed attempt to make money.

I never got to his page through google. Such huge blogs are present in many blogrolls and articles (as links to inspirational articles). In his case Google can just ban him, his traffic is still huge ..
