Hi there, Please review my Technology Blog. It has the following categories: 1) Internet 2) Software 3) Hardware 4) Security 5) Reviews 6) Mobile 7) Social Networking Site URL: www.thetechnicaltimes.com Some categories are new so there are no or little posts. The layout is an edited version of Mimbo 3 (modifications made by myself) to fit my needs. Please make honest reviews; are my AdSense placements okay? Try to find the faults and tell me those. I'll appreciate bad and good comments! Thanks a lot, Sam
Your meta informations are incomplete. You need to add meta keywords. And I also suggest you to write a proper description for your site. Current one looks like a title. Ad colors should be green and blue instead of red and blue to match with your theme and logo. Also you need to put some social bookmarking buttons for your visitors to share them in other sites. Good luck.
Thank you for the tips, I'll get onto them straight away. What social bookmarking buttons do you suggest I add? I sometimes see websites which have ones that i've never heard of.
You can simply use one of these free services 1,2,3. I think some of them are also available as wordpress plug-ins. And I think there should be some more alternatives if you search wordpress plug-in database. You just add a simple code and it includes most of the popular social bookmarking sites. Hope it helps.
Open your index.html file with a text editor like Notepad. Customize the following code; <meta name="keywords" content="dictionary, language, turkish, english, german, spanish, italian, french" /> Code (markup): Change those keywords with yours (don't delete anything else). Paste that customized code between your <head></head> part in your index.html and save it. It should look like this; <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>The Technical Times | The Latest Technology News</title> <meta name="description" content="The Latest Technology News" /> <meta name="keywords" content="customized, keywords, go, here" /> Code (markup): And upload that index.html file to your site via using FTP. Hope it helps.
Thanks talvehtia, I've added some meta keywords and a better description. I hope that's sufficient. Artawina, maybe you could give some suggestions on what you'd like to see on the sidebar?
The contents are very informative and has cool design and layout.It was fast in loading and easy to navigate too.
Do you like the Popular Posts/Related Posts widgets? They are something i've recently added to try and keep people on the blog.
Its a decent site. I don't necessarily like all the green and I think the Adsense colors need changing.
If you like green I would recommend a darker shade. As for the Adsense I would make the links the same color as whatever the links on your site will be and remove the border.
I'll leave the AdSense how it is for one more week, clicks have been okay (£2 a day roughly). I've just added pagination and changed the read more support. Does it look better? If you have any ideas for sidebar widgets, please tell me!
