I'm not so sure all these blogs will do that well over time, but if it does then more power to 'em:)

I don't think all of those blogs look like John Chow's. Cash Quests certainly doesn't. Interesting, if not entirely worthwhile, research.

I've just written about how to do minimum customizations to Misty Look. I list 5 sites as examples, but looks like there's a lot more!
My choice was fully influenced by John, but as I explored the theme files a bit more, I saw it was quite optimized for SEO purposes.
I have plans to create a theme myself, but for now Misty Look is good enough to me.
Thanks for the mention.

Ronaldo,tell me when you are done with your theme, cause i am going to start another blog project and would be using a new domain hosting with wordpress theme, considering many themes already.

Well, you know that I agree! And not only is it the entire layout of the blog, which is being copied. But also the main topic, "making money online". Now days, it seems like everyone has a master degree in this! Thanks for the link :) Good post.

I was surprised when Net Business Blog came out with this post about John Chow Look a Likes and that I made the list. I think anyone with a Misty Look template could be considered a copycat. It's a great, customizable, easy to use template. But I'm appreciative for the dozen or so backlinks I've received because of being on the list!

You got to agree that this is a way that created a viral backlink for you!

This season I am gonna spend my vacations in the las vegas and just looking for the las vegas flights rates and schedule. This time I am not interested in cruise vacations because I had it too many times. My other friends are going for golf vacations in UAE.
