Case in point, John Chow.... terrible content, awesome reader/fan following. Content comes second to success in a lot of cases.
Often it's not value but perceived value (which is what Rob said). John Chow is basically saying with his blog "this is how you make money online, and here's how I did it". Of course, he's selling a dream with his blog.

Of course, do I think it's good? No, it's terrible, it's just shilling of reviews and products, with a few guest posts here and there. Same with digital point, it's popular, but not good. Nevertheless, they're both successful ventures as they both have a perceived value.

Of course, everybody on here's much more intelligent to see otherwise
