    Hi- just wondering what everyone thinks of my SEO blog.

    BTW- I know the design sucks, I mean more for a review of the actual articles and if you find them useful.

    Thanks-

    Nothing wrong with the design, it's just generic. But your content is great. The perfect place for SEO newbies to learn what to do.

    Contrary to what you may think, I like the blog design because it is plain and simple. Navigation and arrangement also looks fine to me. And best part is, your content which I think will be very helpful especially for newbies.

    Hi there. It's the first time I meet you but it's me who will be always honest from the first moment till the last. Here are some suggestions I'd like to give you. But please, it doesn't mean that i already achieved this.

    1. Your layout is great, I like the way your display ads too, it's pleasant to the eyes.
    2. You are lacking categories and tags. Yes, at the moment you are talking about SEO only, but SEO also have sub categories too, such as "Link building", "On site SEO", "Off site SEO", etc. It will make the site easier to navigate in the future.
    3. Try to get a 3 or 4 column theme now. You will need it to monetize later when your blog is successful.
    4. Yor URLs format is great, no comment.
    5. Please use sub headings for grouping information in the post, so that reader can skim it. Use bold, italic, and other formats to make it more readable.

    Your blog is a great job. Keep up the good work.

    By the way, I also need some review for my site, so if you can please do so, here is the link: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=955366

    The content looks good and so does the site.. I just hope it works out seeing as you're going into a very over populated niche

    Yes, I actually kind of like the design in a way but I can see where to some it is too simple. But anyway, thanks very much for your comments. As I said before I have tried very hard to write insightful and usefull articles that even a newbie can understand. I am an advanced SEO but I figured there was no point to getting into that stuff until I covered the basics so in time there will be much more advanced techniques.

    To me, design doesn't really matter. The content is good though. :)

    Hi- yes, the tags missing is because I was concerned about dupe content but I will add them soon an nofollow and will also expand the categories once i add more content. Thanks for your comments!

    I think your design looks nice but I don't like the fact you have to register to leave a comment.

    Comment I wanted to leave was on the www. or post you'd probably get more search traffic if you wrote a .htaccess tutorial on correcting it

    I think that the Wordpress theme has always been a good one to choose as its very clean. You will IMO need to offer something more than just the usual SEO tips as its a very competitive niche. You could try promoting any unique good quality content on Sphinn and DZ zone for some decent social media traffic.

    Hi, yeah, I know theres a lot of other SEO blogs around but I dont look at that as competition because firstly, the site is not new, I just converted it to a blog last year so it's an aged site. Secondly, that just means theres a lot of quality potential link partners. Thirdly, I am very good so to be honest i dont really view anyone as "competition. If I want the a top spot and take the time to work on it then it is mine. Period. The only reason the site is not much higher is simply because i have not had time but I am going to be concentrating a lot more on it soon and when I do it will be very very highly ranked. I know that sounds egotistical maybe but realistically even now it is like 2 spots below Matt Cutts' blog for "SEO" on Google as it is so I am already in the top 75 worldwide for that term so once I get going I should be able to get in the first or second page so thats good traffic.

    Thanks for taking the time to add your comments.
