Hello everyone, I have created a Blog three months ago. Its url is: http://www.asdfing.com/, I have never asked for a review before but I think that the time has come. It is a general Blog with alexa rank:130000 and no page rank at the moment because of the “sandbox effectâ€,some of the articles have page rank 5 though. All the articles are unique, and written by myself and some of my friends. All the images have been bought from Istockphoto. No copies at all. Do you think that something should be changed? Please be strict; any criticism is more than welcome. Furthermore, my blog monetization includes google ads istock photo affiliate, amazon affiliates and some in-text affiliates (CJ, Clickbank). My problem is that I don't convert well. I know that ads, could be placed differently (to more aggressive spots) but for example, I cant remove the article's image in order to put an ad, and I cant use pop-ups and excessive advertising. Do you have any suggestions that I could implement on my blog in order not to annoy the reader but at the same time let the blog serve its purpose? Once again, thank you in advanced and once again feel free to suggest comment or criticize my blog.
The orange sidebars are a bit too heavy, and the blue headings for the sidebar panels are too big. I like the Asdfing target logo thing, why not use it as a header image up the top? Also, your top buttons (Home, About us etc...) are just floating kinda "nowhere" in Firefox. I don't know if this is intentional, but it looks broken to me.
Thank you a lot for your comment, buttons are an issue for sure, guess I ll have to find an other way to display them, other than CSS. Thank you again, anyway else for comments?
Very nice blog.. I advice you to make a logo for your blog...In addition try to change the colors of your ads to fit it with the color of your background. That's all Cheers, xcelent88
Thank you everyone. Please give me some more opinions, I really would like to know what people think about the asdfing blog
In my opinion you surely do have good content. As far as the colors/theme used on the site I think its a bit too much of an orange/blue combination. If you cut down on the color usage you could make it more soothing to the eyes of your readers. May be you wanna check out the "Grid Focus" theme for Wordpress, you'll have 3 columns and your content will fit in beautifully. Hope this helps! Cheers!!
I am a blogger and i will give 10/10 to your whole design blog and everything, especially the colour matchings are beautiful. I have added to your rss subscribers.Thanks
It is a good looking site for me with nice unique content,but where did you get the picture within your posts,did you make them by yourself?
the orange is a bit distracting, looking on my monitor and the colors are taking my attention away from your content. My attention keeps being swayed away from the articles to your menu where the categories and archives are at. I dont mind the orange and blue but that area is just too loud. If you toned it down to around the color of calender it is less distracting
The content is great, you even convinced me to read a couple articles. However there is way too much orange. Like previous posts have said. Also I would add a nice logo and you should be set. Sorry I couldn't add more to what has already been said. Nice blog though.
