    Hi

    I have just setup my first blog and wanted some opinions on it. You can find it on http://tipster-league.co.uk

    I recently started trading on Betfair and love it so I wanted to blog about it. I am a bit paranoid though because I don't really know if my keyword searches are bringing back the results I need to attract enough visitors. The numbers that I look for are in the thousands but I find it difficult to find long tail keywords searches.

    I have installed onlywire and am working my way through setting up the logins required for book marking them.

    I had another idea to build a blog for console/PC role playing game which will be my next project but want to get an idea on how this one is going first.

    Thanks for your time guys

    Colin

    Very nice ! Good Job ! The design is amazing, yet it needs some fixing. Moreover, the content is put in a good way i can tell. Try to invest some space for ads, and use Google Adsense ;)

    very organized layout but the ebook cover for Tradeshark Tennis Trading not so attractive. You may want to get a more professional design cover. It won't cost more than $27. Look for some post from the designer and if you are lucky, you may get it from less than $10.

    nice tip ! I am a good designer if you want and i can do it for 10$ and if you don't like it, u take the money back ;) Anyways, i agree with jinmin; the cover isn't attractive :S However, as i said before, invest some space for ads.

    Hi guys

    Thanks for the comments.

    I was going to avoid putting adsense in because I was using the Blogging to the Bank guide and it recommended affiliate over adsense but if you think that having both of them is ok then I will look into that.

    What recommendations can you give me for setting up adsense? I have never used it before.

    As for the design of the ebook, although the guy who created the whole thing is a cool guy, the whole website design, sales letter, ebook and forums look as though he did them himself and an extreme makeover wouldn't go amiss. I will mess around with photoshop and see what I can come up with. If I fail I wil come to you reporterdeluna.

    Thanks
    Colin
