I’ve Been Getting Around – Getting Reviewed That is

Filed Under Blog traffic, Traffic Tips
The free blog review list seems to be getting some nice hits now, and I just added another blog to the list. One of the nice things about the list is that it even lets me get my blog reviewed as well =). In the past week I have gotten 4 reviews, and three of them were from the list. I don’t get reviewed quite often, so to get four reviews in a week is I guess is something to blog about. Here’s the most recent reviews of this site that I have received:Richard from Untwisted Vortex mentioned about my 125×125 ad slots. I agree that yes, they are common on making money blogs, and possibly over used by many. He wonders though if these spots do get clicks. Just to answer that question back though. Of the outgoing links I’m able to see (the non-javascript ones), they get about an even amount of exit clicks as the sites listed on my blogroll.It just depends on the 125×125 image, and whether or not that image makes people click on it. People should at the least put their page titles or maybe a keyword or two just so people know what ad page is going to go to. The Focial ad I have on that 3×2 grid gets the most clicks next to Valkor’s Gold Guide. So even if you have an ad on someone’s high traffic site, you should at the very least have that ad describe something if you want people to click on it. Thank you for the free blog review
Richard!
Max from Blog Badly gave me three thumbs downs! Which actually makes me happy. See the thing with his reviews is the more thumbs downs you get, the worse off your site is. So since my site only got 3 thumbs downs, I think I did alright =). He does bring up a good point about the widgets on the side bar thing though. I have to look in to that on. Anyways this site is also one of the sites listed on me free blog review list so check it out.
Tim over at the Affiliate Marketing blog has given me a quick review from his site. I’ve been going there alot, and leaving quite a few comments. As someone who is learning about affiliate marketing myself I’m finding alot of useful information to look over from there.
The Fat Kid Unleashed is the most recent addition to my list of blogger who do free reviews. The fat kid gives me a pretty straighforward review of what my good/bad points about my site so far. Like Max, he’s also noted that my side bar is a little messy, or visually lacking. I’ll be throwing that on my list of ‘to dos’ or possibly widgets ‘to do away’ with. My first priority is to get a working contact form up =P.
Updating regularly seems to get harder as time passes as I tend to get over worked from my real life job quite often of late. I know, I know I’m making excuses. You’ll have to forgive this wannabe full time blogger who has a 60 hour offline work schedule. However, the long work hours are my motivation to make my goal of eventually earning a living online true. Regardless its always great to get a nice kick in the rear to get me motivated to post something. So thank you Fat Kid for that =).

Is it just me or is the formatting on this post kind of weird looking…. The text is wrapping around the comic strip, and I can’t get the paragraph to start after the image. Also half of the post is jumbled up single space for some reason…
