Please review my Art and Toy Blog

    Site: Opportunity LOL

    I started out posting about anything I liked - toys, art, movies, rap videos, t-shirts, etc. and I've slowly limited the scope to art and toys with an occasional youtube video or movie poster. I've been running Opportunity LOL for almost 9 months now, and have had the most success by posting about other things I like - unique content articles on games I play, and items I reviewed.

    We expanded the review section a ton, up to 80 reviews on items I was curious about. Since content farms/curation websites got hit by google recently, I'm focusing more effort getting companies to work with us and sending us stuff to review. This has worked by giving us unique content articles and letting us be found in google.

    I hired an editor who does great work and is the bulk of the unique content on the website. That helped a lot, and has opened a lot of doors when the professionalism increased.

    So, what do you think about my website? If you liked art and toys, is this something you'd bookmark/subscribe to? Thank you!

    First I must say when I saw the teethed robot on your first article, I was a bit scared and it might scare the kids too. However when I scrolled down the articles, it was very interesting and your pictures in the articles are great. Each picture gives a special meaning to the subject ;)
    I would suggest you to post the 'alt tags' for all your pictures with the article title or a keyword related to the article, so your search will also be expanded in google images.
    All the best.

    Generally, your site looks great. Just make sure you validate all the code for SEO purposes. Just my 2 cent. :)

    It's a great site with lots of fresh content and a great back story too.
    It covers everything from toys to tunes and sodas to sweet new gadgets.
    Really like it.

    the font types, maybe you can choose the sans serif for best viewing, and the article pictures, resize it to make it more convenient being read. Keep Up!

    Nice looking site great work, you should divide two parts of site header and content here no partition between header and content.

    I agree. I intend to bank some $ from ads to hire a designer to create a v nice header w/ a character of some sort. Prob 2-3 months away.
