At first glance, Jason and Kelly Neuman’s Ja Kel Daily Dot Com blog, an addition to their fashion and celebrity site Ja Kel Daily, looks strikingly like that of John Chow’s. Jason is quick to point out however, that the Misty Wordpress theme they both use has been downloaded over 30,000 times. So, while he may not be copying the successfully evil Mr. Chow, I personally wouldn’t blame him if he was!
On closer inspection however, there is more than enough original material to quickly end comparisons. Although Jason says ”it’s just a hobby and not a profit making venture that I hope to be my golden ticket”, he does offer enough advice on building and promoting a blog to warrant me putting this review in the Blogging for Money category.
To start with, he has written a number of articles about using a self-hosted version of Wordpress, including Turn on SEO URLs - Get better search results, a post comparing the advantages of permalinks over dynamic URLs. He also highlights his favorite Wordpress plugins, discusses ways to increase blog comments, and gives tips on promoting your website to get it seen among the 11.5 billion other sites on the net.
It’s not all just about building and promoting a blog. He recently wrote articles as varied as skydiving, sex education and the Breendonk concentration camp in Belgium!
One of the main reasons I’m reviewing Ja Kel Daily Dot Com is because of Jason’s recent link exchange idea. Exchanging reviews is nothing new in the blogging world, but he has put a twist on it that makes the whole process much easier. I like to call it speed reviewing.
Jason gives a short review of up to 30 words in return for the same. He starts a batch and updates it until there are ten ‘mini-reviews’ and then he moves onto the next batch. This technique is obviously appealing since you don’t need to spend too much time studying the site you’re reviewing. Even Jason is surprised by how well it’s going; his blog has made it into Technorati’s top 100,000 in just two months!
Stop by Ja Kel Daily Dot Com and take a look for yourself. You might become hooked!

I reviewed this site about a month ago. As soon as I saw the sports car in header I visited site again to see what I had missed in last few weeks.
New header image, new tag line..many more posts. Wow, Jason has been busy!
You’re doing great Jason!
More power to you!
