    Hi All,

    I would like some feedback on one of my sites http://blog.asuperincome.com

    It's a site that has been around for about a year now, and I have never really had much time to do anything with it, including adding much content. This I appreciate is one of my first flaws.

    I was hoping to set this blog up, to build up traffic and see if I can make some money from Google as well as making it a hobby blog.

    A new year means a new start, what do you think of the look? Are the google adverts in the right place? How often should I be adding fresh content, daily?

    All feedback greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for pointing that out, so thats the first thing to fix then, an ongoing issue with my hosting company, who used to be good, then were bought out and now seem to be the biggest pile of poop going. And it seems to effect a lot of my sites at the moment.

    Although it does seem to load okay on my pc, hmm, but yes the hosting company will be binned very very soon.

    Is it loading any faster now?

    Its loading much faster now, decent looking theme, but both your sidebars are being pushed to the bottom (im using firefox) its also resulting in post 13th dec and older to be a little messed up.

    You should limit the number of full posts on the landing page. Also remove the PageRank widget -- if you haven't got any, why show it?

    cheers guys will do the suggested was PR1 then lost it. I was thinking of making the site full paged, and losing google ads for some 125x125 boxes in the future, as I intend to work on this blog this year.
