We Review 3 Student Blogs…
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008NOTE: We’ll be releasing another video - “The 4 Steps To Making Your Blog SEO Friendly…” tomorrow - so look for that! Today, I’ve decided to sit down and review 3 of the blogs that were submitted on our first post…if you want your own blog reviewed - well, watch this video where I have an “ethical” bribe for you! Click Here… Here are the 3 I chose today, here they are (we’ll also let Rosalind chime in to give her comments and she’ll review a batch soon…). By the way, I randomly chose some different style blogs so as to get some diversity in the reviews (no offense if yours was not chosen, it may very well be later!).

ThinkPadToday.com I’m very impressed! It seems you’ve had this blog up for a bit and have been working on it - great! The best way to get blogs to work for you is persistence and tons of posts and of course time… A few things I really like... 1. The blog is also about a very specific niche… 2. You’re using specific product names in headlines - this is great for SEO 3. Re-done template (not the standard) - gives it some flavor 4. VIDEOS!!! I saw youtube videos inserted - that is great. A few things to think about: 1. You seem to be only linking to Lenovo - I doubt that they have the best deals, what about doing some price comparison and linking to multiple merchants? 2. Ebay affiliate program may work well here - think about using one of their widgets besides your posts - worth a test! Overall, let’s just work on marketing and more traffic!
DatingTips247.com Another nice blog with a custom template. You should note that a blog in this niche can really take off in the “social world…” This blog is in a very active niche that even Rosalind has tons of experience in and has obviously a great living in… A few things I like: 1. Nice long posts - great search engine food. 2. The titles are catchy and short - good for the social wold. 3. The Love meter - yea, very addictive - everyone should place catching things like this! A few things to think about: 1. Better job displaying affiliate offers on the side bar - you have TONS of space there. 2. Think more about LINKING to affiliate offers IN your post - converts much better. 3. Add social media (like Digg, etc…) - We’ll be talking about that shortly…
SuperFreeStyleMotoCross.com/blog/ Here is one of our NEW students who was motivated to install yesterday - GOOD FOR YOU (applause!). Now, of course since this is a brand new blog, tons of things to do over time - no problem, we’ll get through all of it… Hopefully this blog will motivate some others as well… A few things I like: 1. Neat topic - nice niche. 2. You thought fast and got adsense in there … Always monetize! Going forward: 1. Try to commit to at least 1 post a day (especially in the beginning). 2. If you really insist on Adsense, WRAP the text around it and make it a bit smaller - it’s not user-friendly the way it is right now. 3. Other than Adsense, any other monetization ideas? 4. Watch tomorrow’s video so we can get you SEO’d up…
GREAT start! Seriously, koodos to you and ANYONE else who has taken the time to get their blogs installed. ALRIGHT - well, more where that came from…if you want a chance at getting yours reviewed, watch my little “BRIBE” video! Now, seriously - there is NO tomorrow, go install your blog
