John Chow was kicked out of the Google index years ago for selling links on his blog and using mass anchor text manipulation to dominate the make money keyword. He has recently been let back in the index after sorting out his blog.

Hmmmm ... I guess there aren't any make bloggers on the board right now. I don't know how I feel. I suppose one could speculate that Google might feel having an ex-enemy, who previously caused many changes to be made to the algorithm, inside the camp with his cleaned up blog is the best case scenario or it wouldn't be happening.

If I could care less, I would. From all I heard, he gamed the system and make his chunk of change. They kicked him out and apparently it didn't go so well for him. He's evidently cleaned up his act enough to get listed again. I'm not in any way in competition with him nor did the few times I visited his blog entice me ever to return.

  I felt the same way but the make money bloggers drop his name continuously, and I do believe many consider him to be a type of make money online guru.

Google's stock dropped dramatically and they needed John Chow's charisma.
