After you do the first you can likely replicate it with a similar but different topic. You started with technology and made a second tech blog on a different niche.

I think your philosophy applies to many areas, not just to increase your page rank. For example, sales from selling a product will increase by increasing the number of visitors that come to your site. It’s all about statistics…based on the number of people that come to your site, an average number will click on the link to where you are selling something. From those that click, there will be a select number that purchase the product…By increasing traffic, you increase these numbers.

Great article John!

Nice article John. Lots of good tips. I too believe that focus is key - just focus on one site and you’re bound to succeed.

[...] If the Web is Popularity Contest, John Chow is the Quarterback. Posted by Eric on December 24th 2006 to Topics Since we started modern self, we have been asking ourselves, what can we do to be more popular? Well, they key is to copy the popular kids, and there are not many who are more popular than John Chow who runs John Chow dot com. Technorati.com is a site that ranks websites based on their popularity. For awhile now modern self has lingered at about 5.5 millionth on the popularity scale. By using some of John Chow’s techniques we have jumped from 5.5 millionth to 1.5 millionth in just 24 hours! This is incredible. However, at 1.5 millionth we are the nerdy kid who is still so nerdy people don’t even know he exists. Luckily for us John Chow is so popular (Ranked 1,432 currently) he is willing to teach everyone the techniques to his popularity. In an article titled “So you want to be a Google whore” John Chow outlays 5 major tips that anyone starting a website should consider gospel. He states, “If you build it they will not come”, which is like saying, just by wearing the right clothes at school wont make you popular, you have to actually interact with the popular kids. So, step 1, watch the popular kids and wear the right clothes. Step 2, interact with the popular kids. The question is why do the popular kids want anything to do with me? Well that’s why you have to come up with unique content for your site, you have to add value that the popular kids want. It’s like bringing liquor to school and sharing it with the entire cheerleading squad. That adds value, and if you win over the popular kids, all the other kids will follow. I know that was a bit convoluted, but basically modern self is committed to providing you unique content as often as possible by not rehashing what every other website is doing. We are also committed to hanging out with the cool kids like John Chow who offers link backs for writing articles about him. Thanks John Chow for showing us the light. [...]

[...] Instead, you will find John’s blog filled with many nuggets of wisdoms describing about his “secrets” and journey to success. Unlike the internet scams that has all hooks and no content, John’s site gives the content away for free. The first one that got my attention is the article So You Want to be a Google Whore. In the article he directly addressed my naiveté on If you build it they will come and instead of focusing on getting traffic is key. The great thing about “If you build it” part is that the key to get traffic is to have others link to you, and people are more apt to link to you if your content is unique and valuable. From that perspective I have half of the puzzle, and it is time to tackle the other half! [...]
