I am looking to increase the social shares and interaction on my blog posts. My old theme didn't accommodate this very well so have changed it. I think it look better, but what do you think of my blog overall? http://itmanagerstoolbox.com/ Thanks in advance John
You know I did think that to be honest, I have removed the skyscraper Ad from my sidebar. Just not sure I like the empty sidebar, may have to find something to go there!
I am very impressed with your website. You have set it up very well and it's very neat. Your posts are easier to read and understand. You have a related ad and it which syncs very well with your blog. Promote your blog and get the interaction going. Maybe a forum might be an interesting take for a blog like yours.
I think it gets the point across, but the colors put me to sleep. You don't have to be flashy, but something a little more cheery would liven up the site. You could darken up the paragraphs text so it would be easier on the eyes. Put something offered for free (and good quality) in your opt-in form (both the form on the page and the pop-up) and you will get more sign-ups. The teaser in your opt-in forms are too generic and not appealing. Please, I'm not trying to attack you. These are just my opinions. Please take them with a grain of salt (so to speak). I'm not into "IT", so...
Forums require constant interaction. However, tt's an addition to your blog. Since you have thorough knowledge about what you are doing, I think investing in a forum will help your blog. You can also try bringing in interaction by conducting polls and Q&A sessions in your blog. Find out what the user's are searching frequently for questions based on IT.
