    I understand a lot of you may be speaking from a professional, SEO kind of point of view, but I'm only looking for some simple tips on how to improve my blog and gain more visitors. I'm currently having a new layout designed, so the black and white, boring layout will soon be history, but feel free to critique my writing style or anything else related to the blog. And feel free to follow if you're a beauty enthusiast ;) Thank you, lovely people :) blogdesherrell.blogspot.com

    Okay no doubt people would hit it again and again for checking the pic of beauty behind the blog :)
    BTW all seems good to go and I think you should start from PINTEREST because there you would get a huge following in beauty niche.

    Best of luck !!

    For beauty blogs you could increase traffic and visits by getting pinterest, instagram, and tumblr. These things have a tendency to get VERY popular on those websites.
    Other than that, you're good. Good luck!

    Hey Jo, Good site.. Well done! I would space out your articles between words. It's easier on the eye. I would start posting your site and posts on Twitter and facebook groups. The pictures are nice and big which is good. I like how you have added a pic of yourself on the left... :)

    The text links seem a bit light in contrast to the copy, and the headline at the top looks like a break in the article rather than the actual headline. Maybe make that a big bigger?

    Overall it looks good - it's cool to see someone taking blogging seriously instead of just pushing spam. Definitely reach out on Pinterest and Instagram more... visual promotion like that will really help you in your niche.

    PS yours is beautiful countryside. I've always wanted to see that area (Haddon Hall especially) as well as the Lakes...

    I don't like it.
    Maybe break up the paragraphs a bit more.
    Text seems to small for me.
    I prefer side bar right instead of left but that's just me.
