i am interested in your optimization tips. Please review my blog @

i could see that you have just started blogging or just about to develop that particular blog.As far as the blog is concerned , the blog design is poor.have it changed.And as far as the articles are concerned , just keep on adding articles - i dont see flaws in the style of your article-writing.The articles [though only a few ] are well written [have the capability to keep readers interested ].But i would prefer some more articles and atleast some kind of established blog design before i pin point your blogging mistakes.Happy blogging :)Do change the blog template .

I'm game, as always lol

your articles are splendid.I dont see any flaws in your style.Just keep adding articles.As far as the blog design is concerned it s the perfect one for a personal blog - its crystal clear ! no need to have any changes there.

Hi pal .The articles are good.But the blog design is very simple.It is very easy to change the templates - but since your blog has already got a PR of 3 , i doubt changing the template will be a wise choice.As far as the articles are concerned i have one suggestion :
Link to your homepage from the blog posts [ like every 6-7 blog posts] using important keywords - this will still boost your Google rankings.Make sure you use varied versions of those keyword phrases.Make sure you think twice before you change the template . -
I would also recommend you to add one more LINK UNIT [adsense] at the top - an horizontal one.But if that results in Lesser ctr then remove it.Keep the ad for about 10 days and see if there are increase in earnings and then take action
-
I did had another link unit but I found it to be redundant - or at least it didn't improve nothing
The template I haven't changed but I'm working in the css. The older version was a little dark (black background) and I thought it would be nice to have a more lighter design. I'm still working on it so I would be much interested in knowing what would you change in the design. -
i would say you could change the font of the title and the body - make them a little bit larger.And since it seems you know css :
why not highlight the important points?

woohoo! ty!

hello arshad, yes you are right, i am very new to the blogging scene and my blog site was a quick shot, which was built up in 15 minutes. what would you prefer as blogging script, i used a very easy one called zomplog, what are the alternatives, which one do you prefer ?
-
sorry .. i didnt understand - blogging script ? You mean blogging platform ?.if so then you can either start a blog on wordpress or blogger .But i would prefer wordpress if i wanted cool templates-those templates are not in blogger.All the best
-
-
-
I see you most of the bloggers using the same templates that blogger.com provides - as i said earlier to all others it is worth changing it.But make sure you dont lose your blog page rank .
As far as the articles are concerned make sure you use some more keywords related to flash,flex,adobe etc ,.This is one more suggestion that i gave to a previous user which is suitable for you too :
Link to your homepage from the blog posts [ like every 6-7 blog posts] using important keywords - this will still boost your Google rankings .
All the best
-
-
NOTE : The process will be much more easier to me if you say you are just aiming to get traffic to your blog in order to network with people or you are aiming for both MONEY and Traffic.Bcoz if you say you are most concerned with just the networking with people i might concetrate more on the networking part of your blog.Else i would be concentrating on the SEO keywords etc,.So just below the Blog address post this way :
NETWORKING [ OR ]
EARN
Iam posting a picture below so that people making further entries here read this post .

OK!
In my vacationandtravelphotos.blogspot.com I'm hopping for both I guess.
I like to interact with people and I try to respond to the comments everyone makes. I even got material published there (some photos from Mauritia) that were sent to me by a blog reader - isn't that the best?!
Of course I'm also aiming to gain a little from the ads I have there.
Thanks again,
SGE -
Thanks for taking time to point this out. So sorry arshad. I make handmade candles would love to have candle buyers but social networking is important to me as well. Thanks again for sharing your time.

Hi Arshad you are doing a commendable job for others benefit. This will make others job more easy. Hats up to you. Thanks. Keep it up.-
Thanks for the compliments sudam compliments like yours keep me going.

Hi if you still want something to do, you could peruse my blog:
a-wonderful-oddity.blogspot.com/
Cheers -
i could see that you have placed an adsense ad below.that is of very less use.here are my suggestions:
place link units [adsense] at the top
it is better to remove that ad below.try to browse more blogs in blogger - by that way you can get hold on more widgets and tips to customize a blogger blog .bye
-
-
OK, I'm game. I'll tell you that I do not blog to make money. I have little concern over PR ranks, SEO tips, and don't use adsense.
I blog just to network, essentially. And to spew my opinions.
identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com/-
As you told me your main aim is networking with others - then its a must to have the profile of social sites.
have them placed at the top so that you can make a strong network with others.Hope you are in twitter and facebook or myspace . -
Oh, and here I was using the networking sites to gain exposure
I have enough internet addictions, though so no. No facebook or myspace.
-
-
-
I could see that you are using internal links - but not quite a lot of links from other sites - you should really start looking to link building.
start building relevant links from today -within 3 months you will see the results.Otherwise the articles are gonna go waste.you can learn more about link building here :

Mine is a health blog.
dratiffarid.today.com - Aim is to spread awareness about current health issues in the community.
Criticism is highly appreciated.-
are you aiming only for awareness or also for earning a little money ?
-
Only awareness. No money!
-
I dont think there is so much room for improvement bcoz the articles are already good.
But i feel that you might look into highlighting the most important point in the article at the end or the middle of the article - this becomes important when the article goes quite long.Make sure you select the top most important one and hightlight them .i could see that you are using pics in between that is a very cool attitude.keep up the great work : ) -
Thanks.

There is one big flaw i would like to point - there is no CATEGORY section.
pls make sure you have a category section.its a must.
The articles are well written and cool :)Arent you using any ads ?dont need money sriram ?whats the reason?
And are you running windows 7 currently?how is it ?my torrent is yet to finish . -
@arshad, I dont use categories, I use labels. I use labels very descriptively for every post of mine as it improves the search results. Since I have 400+labels, I cant display them. Even the widgets to show 50 most used labels don't work in my template.
I did have Google Ads until about an hour ago, when I decided to remove them. They made the blog more cluttered that it already is!!
I'm dual-booting Windows 7 with Xp and it runs great, faster than XP and I've no crashes/BSODs so far[touch-wood]. Definitely worth a try!! Cheers!!

Thanks for looking

giving you a choice any advise would be helpfull-
iam reviewing this blog :cosmeticsurgeryforwomen.blogspot.com
As far as the articles are concerned they are neatly written.i could also see that the ads are well placed.So my suggestion would be - have you tried link units [adsense]?I am giving you this suggestion because at certain times changing the colour of ads,the ad placements would increase the earnings .I have done this and seen an increase of 300%.it was long ago.So tell me if you had done any experiments :)I would be more happy if you change the template [this is the most common advice i have given here ]

Oops, I only read your Important post now lollll silllly meeee.
Aim: networking!-
Articles are very nice.As far as the template , it is professional.There are only few of them having pro. blogger templates and you are one of them.Try placing social sites' profile and twitter profile so that you could make good relationships with more fellow bloggers .

and
appliedexcel.blogspot.com (just re-started it this month)
thanks again-
The amount of keywords are too less in your blog posts - that makes Google harder to rank your pages - have some keywords spread over the blog post,let it be relevant
-
thanks a lot arshad, i thought making it simpler an less text would be convenient to read.
Ok then, i'll do posting with more keywords.

Thanks for your feedback Ashad! You sound like you're not a fan of normal blogger templates lol I don't have twitter, so perhaps I'll start it. I always thought those profile widgets on blogs were like spying - whenever I see my photo in one of those widgets, I never end up visiting that blog again!
