I have been away from blogs for a couple of months, which is a century in web time. I have lost track of news etc, so i must have missed a lot of tips from this forum. Can someone please review my site, and give me tips on how i can improve it, from the UI point of view and SEO optimization, and anything else really. I accept criticism since i know my blog is far from perfect, so i won't be offended or anything. Thanks in advance.
Well, when I opened it up, I was like 'Woooah'. This is way too cluttered. Move the Ads by Google stuff to the bottom because I had to scroll down to reach your actual blog post. Perhaps you can put the categories above your links. People came to your blog to read your blog, not go somewhere else. Make it a bit more difficult for them to leave if you get what I mean. It's alright but it doesn't stand out in a good way. Make it more unique by adding some colour because apart from the banner at the top, it's all white and black. Hope that helps.
That's a good question. In the beginning i had a bunch of notes i used in my studies, and said why not post them online. Then i started to include information about my hobbies sailing, computer etc. So i added info which is not related to a theme. That is why when i submit to directories, i write "articles on various topics". If you are talking about monetary terms, then i don't really have a plan. I don't use adsense as a living, but it surely helps, helping in paying for things like life insurance. Obviously the more i earn the better , from the user interface point of view, i must surely improve the site.
