Hi John,

Yes, it's true. Design is sort of an appetizer. Presentation is more like garnish, tantalizing the taste buds of the mind to act upon such cuisine.

Best Regards,

Sajjid Manuel

Yeah, I like the new John Chow design a lot. I totally hated ProBlogger's new design and have no idea why people thought it looked good. Then again I never liked his previous design either.

He isn't doing everything just for money, he is still trying to maintain a good user experience, otherwise his site would be a lot more than the way it is now. Keep in mind however, the objective of his blog is to push it as far as he can while still maintaining a good user experience. While this theme does have more ad spots, it hardly takes up any more space now than it did before that would technically interfere with the readers. That said, its not about whether he makes enough or not already, it's an experiment to see whats the maximum he can make. I am sure that his major income doesn't come from the blog to begin with, and that all the money he generates off the blog is pure gravy on the side.

People think that he's totally screwing his readers to make as much money as possible but you got to keep in mind thats not the case. There would be no point to keep up with the case study if he doesn't stick to his original goal of pushing his limits, afterall, that was the plan from the very beginning, not "let's see if I can hit $10,000 and then stop there".

Most new site designs will look nice or cool when you first view them. But after a while, some will survive the test of time while others will look jaded as familiarity creeps in. Chow's new-look is refreshing now. It looks more like a business website than a blog. As for the Cow blog, it can stay as it is and go about its merry ways, or continue to parody the Big Beef with another makeover. I don't know, that's up to Bob to decide.

I absolutely love the theme. It's sharp, bright, organized, but not too flashy. To be honest, it's one I'm quite jealous of. However, I have to agree with you cows on the fact that there are way too many ads. John's already making plenty of money to live the rich life, so why does he still need so much more? If I was him I'd stop for a second and not do EVERYTHING just for the money. Even if he doesn't make as much, he could show some more respect to his readers and make it more about content than all those ads.

However, like I said, I do love the design and it's one I'd like for myself. :)

Tony,

That was also a scheme to attract traffic to increase his visitors and thus increase his monetizing value.

Moo-daddy: You sound a bit jealous. I'm sure Nate would mock-up the same for you as long so you give him a pale of milk (and maybe a block of cheese).

Cowdaddy- you sound a bit jealous. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure Nate would mock johncow.com up the same for a few prominent mentions and a glass of milk (and maybe a block of cheese).

Wrong. John Chow's e-book is filled with affiliate ads to different things that will bring him a constant flow of passive income. Because it's free, people will freely share it, expanding Chow's audience to new people, creating more blog readers (and more potential income).

It's...loud. And the flashing ads make me blink.

Since I only come to the site to comment, I don't care what theme everyone uses. ;)

Like giving away his pdf for free? If he really really cares only about money, he could be selling that pdf for $5 a pop.

I saw John Cow hire Nate to make him a duplicate theme to keep up with the changes LOL

I think the the theme very well designed given the constraints the designer was under - to create a page of ads that could also accommodate a blog. The ads, given their multitude of colors, are at least tidily placed and less offensive to the eye than other sites with similar aims.

I actually like the look of it - when only the footer area and bottom posts are visible.

Nah, he's behind the Send the Greenbacks to John Chow Foundation.

I was reading some of the comments over there and I saw something interesting.

Even the people who dislike JohnCow were wondering what would happen to JohnCow.com.

When even the haters wonder what your next moove will be, it might be time to make JohnCow.com it's own brand. I say strike while the iron is hot.

Woo! Three cow jokes in one paragraph. I shoulda wrote a guest post. *L*

So you're saying John's behind the Save the Greenbacks foundation? :-D

What I can't get over is that John Chow says if you can't view his page correctly (referring to the horizontal scroll bars) then you should buy a new monitor! HHHHHHHAHAHA! The nerve of that guy. Why doesn't he come over here and buy me a new monitor so that I can view his site properly!

He doesn't even make any sense anymore.

I left you a comment, your site still isn't fixed and I am not too sure if its the brian threaded comment plugin or not that's actually causing the issue.

LOL sounds like this is a good time to put the blog pest control to a test. I am sure the big beef doesn't like being impersonated.
