This Blog Will Pay My Mortgage – Review

chrissie — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 19:50:28 +0000

In this day and age, knowing how to produce additional revenue streams can come in very handy. At the This Blog Will Pay My Mortgage Blog, you will learn just that. This is a blog that has been created by the author to do just that – pay his mortgage with the income he makes from the blog. Not only will he pay his mortgage with it, but he’ll show you how you can do it too! While at first glance it’s clear what this blog is about it’s also clear the blog is just what a helpful and informative blog should be: nicely laid out, easy to read, and full of great information that the reader can actually use! You can see this for yourself through any of the most recent bloggeries which include: Top 3 Youtube Tips, Seven Deadly Sins of Twitter Marketers, Make Money Online – Become a RAT!

The blog is very well organized and this makes for ease of navigation. Bloggeries are left marginalized and appear in black font on beige background with a right sided navigation bar. In the navigation bar you will find subscription information, Twitter Updates, Latest Entries, AdSense, Archives Menu, Blogroll titled ‘Get Organized and Inspired’, Most Popular posts menu, Great Bloggers Menu, and Recent Comments Menu. Although the blog may seem to lack uniqueness in a world that is full of money-making blogs, it’s so easy to use and navigate that any other additions may just impede on the site’s biggest strength which is its top notch content.

This blog gets a 3.6/5. The subscriber count seems to be on the low side, and this could be improved with daily content being fed to the blog (and ultimately, the search engines). Navigation wise, the blog has all of the features a blog should have, which is important for all blogs but especially for blogs that are focused on making money. The only suggestion I would have for easier navigation would be to make the header a clickable link, as many readers such as myself like to use that for a handy anchor when navigating a blog. For appearance, the blog is good. Though it is not the prettiest blog per se, you will overlook this fact when you get into its top quality content that is easy to read, easy to apply, and informative if you are serious about making money online. This blog could definitely use some kind of personalization as the theme is rather generic right now. I also like the random spattering of images, as this does not distract from the blog and the blog clearly does not rely on heavy images or other frivolous wastes of space but leaves the content to speak for itself in a nicely organized way. With just a few tweaks, this good blog could become a great blog and see some definite growth in subscribers and readership over time.

Online Earning Opportunities – Blog Review

chrissie — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 19:03:15 +0000

If you are looking for another way to make money online, you may want to stop and check out Online Earning Opportunities. Simply put, this is another marketing blog and offers you user-friendly advice and tips on how to make money with your blog, as well as other opportunities to make money online. You can see this for yourself through any of its recent bloggeries: Entrecard vs. Alexa, ClickBooth – A Review of CPA Site, Kiiji Local Classifieds, BuyBlogReviews.com – Paid to Blog Site, and Earn Money Writing for Encylocentra.

The blog is well organized in a very simple blog theme which makes it easy to navigate. The structure is such that bloggeries are left marginalized and there is a double-wide navigation system to the right. Bloggeries are black text on white background and the theme and border around the bloggeries is a tan khaki color. There is a simple top navigation system for basic pages such as Home, Blogroll, and Contact Me. In the right navigation system you will find on the left side a Categories Menu and a My Blog Log Widget. In the right side, there is a Archives Menu, Recent Posts Menu, Recent Comments Menu, Entrecard, and Advertising. The Categories menu is comprehensive and includes categories such as Affilliate Marketing Sites, Blog/Website Development, Classifieds, Cost Per Action, Link Building, Marketplace, and many more.

Overall I give this blog a 2.6/5 with just a few suggestions. The blog is well organized and the blog contains all necessary blog meat and thus does well for navigation. The only thing I would change there is to combine both navigation bars into one, as currently both bars are only about half full and this leaves a lot of white space on the page. I would also add an About page to one of the menu systems so that the blogger connects a little more personally with their readers and thus increasing their readership. The appearance of the blog does need some work, and primarily this is in the advertising area and header. Nothing says professional like a custom header that is a form of branding. Having blank text takes away from the credibility. Regarding advertising the blog has an ad embedded in the footer of the blog which is very distracting and makes the blog slow to load. The blog also has so much advertising that in some areas it is difficult to understand what is blog content and what is advertising. The word ‘Archives’ in the navigation system is also spelled incorrectly which may seem unprofessional to some readers and it does affect the appearance of the blog. The content however is well-written in an excellent user-friendly tone that readers will be able to identify with and learn from, but if the blogger wants regular traffic, more updates in the form of daily content are recommended.

Empire Dot Com – Blog Review

chrissie — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:39:18 +0000

If you are looking for more ways to make money online, and have not yet found a comprehensive website to do so, then you need to take a look at Empire Dot Com, a blog dedicated to revealing the insider secrets of making money online. This emphasizes with fervence that the dot com industry is one that is only getting stronger. The blogger offers you a personalized about page including signature right on the home page where he discusses how he wants to teach his readers something that will take you and your Internet efforts to the next level. He promises that this blog will give you powerful marketing knowledge that will help you move your business to the next level. You can see this for yourself in any of his recent bloggeries: How to Crank Out Quality Content for Your Readers to Come Back for More, Top Extremely Important and Powerful Tools You Should Have In Your Bag Pack, How to Write Killer Lead that Get your Prospect to Read your Ad, Extremely Powerful and Solid Information Articles to Remember, and The Four Marketing R’s That will Make You a Sniper Rifle.

The blog offers several navigation systems making it very easy to navigate. The top system provides links to Home, Article Resource, Membership, Archives, and Contact Me. A sub top menu offers you Recent Posts Menu, Clickbank Ads, and how to subscribe to the RSS Feed. In the right navigation system you will find Advertising, Entrecard, Recent Comments, Archives Menu, Blog Awards, and a comprehensive categories menu offering you categories such as Affilliate Marketing, Affilliate Tools, Atomic Blogging, Blogging, Copywriting, and Marketing Development among many more. The blog’s appearance is bold and colorful, with large headlines in red and advertising that complements the blog content rather than distract from it. Though there are not many pictures associated with the bloggeries, the blog’s design and template compensates for that.

This blog will get a 4.4/5 from me, as it is an excellent resource and quite accomplished given its youth. The blog is only a few months old, and offers content and navigation that is above par. The bloggers conviction is strong and this is relayed in its content, appearance, navigation and organization of the blog. Bloggeries are coming in daily for the most part with only one or two exceptions, and the content is in a strong, user-friendly personal voice that many marketers can relate to. I do also like the personal touch of the about page with attached signature on the home page, as this makes the blogger readily accessible to his readers. Overall, this blog is an excellent example of how a business blog / internet marketing blog should look like, and I am sure that in the coming months this blogger will see much success and growth with his blog.

Affiliate Confession – Blog Review

chrissie — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:42:02 +0000

You really can never get too much education from other people’s experiences, and Affiliate Confession is a blog that is guaranteed to prove that theory. Meet Alan, the blogger, who has set up Affiliate Confession as a means of telling you about his journey of network marketing, affiliate marketing, and working from home for the past 3.5 years. The blog is a little different than most make money blogs however, and is going to give you a no-holds barred approach to affiliate marketing. You will learn some value and tips from Alan, but he will be honest about how difficult affiliate marketing is, and how the ‘gurus’ are really loading you a bunch of ‘crap’ with their advice. Alan is not holding back about affiliate marketing or anything else. He tells you the whole story, and because he has been at it for a while, he knows how you can make an honest $2500 a month. See how he does it through his most recent bloggeries: Build a Niche Store v3.0 Update, Work is Progressing on New Custom Wordpress Theme, Why I Like The Ebay Affiliate Program, Lessons in Perseverance Part 4, Should I Start a Blog or Build a Website? and Take the 30 Day Blogging Challenge.

Although there is some work in progress on the site’s theme and design change, the site currently offers a clean appearance with well-organized template that makes navigation very easy. Bloggeries are left marginalized and there are two right sided navigation bars. Bloggeries are in black text on white background and links stand out (but not too much so) in a bold red color. In the left sided navigation bar, you will find advertising, Categories Menu, and an Archives Menu. The Categories Menu offers just about everything you would expect in an affiliate marketing blog, and includes information on advertising, affiliate programs, clickbank, commission junction, contests, ebooks, AdSense, AdWords, and so many more. In the far right navigation bar there is subscription information, Entrecard, advertising, and a Top Commenters menu. Most bloggeries are accompanied with some sort of relevant picture or advertising to give meaning to the post.

I will go with a 4.6/5 for this one. Right off the bat, I really liked the concept of the blog, and the honest approach of the blogger. This kind of honest voice lends credibility to the posts and as such, he is likely to see some solid success through the blog. Moving through the posts you get a good feel for how well he does with his home business, and this again lends credibility to the blog. The appearance of the blog is clean and organized which also lends to the navigation scores. I do see a little more white space in the navigation bars than I generally like. Content is well written and user friendly for the reader. It is consistent in activity as well which is also serving its readership well. Overall, if you are interested in an honest no holds barred approach to affiliate marketing, Affiliate Confession looks like it is ready to serve you up just that.

Make Money Online with EJ Cooksey – Blog Review

chrissie — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:25:56 +0000

If you are looking for a fresh approach on an old concept, making money online, then you will want to check out the latest money making blog that is being reviewed by Bloggeries. The blog is called Make Money Online with EJ Cooksey, and can be found on its own domain at . The blogger is EJ Cooksey who is a work at home mom, whose industry is primarily the Internet. Given that she runs approximately 13 blogs, and is heavy into affiliate marketing, she is probably very good at it, which lends some credibility to her blogging advice. This blogger has a lot of interests however, and they include reading, family, and ‘making a million dollars online’ among many other interests that she has. Get an idea for what EJ Cooksey and her blog is all about by looking at any of her recent bloggeries: A to Z and a Simple 1,2,3; Earn 100% Commission with George Plus’s Dime Sale; Have a Wonderful Easter!; Motivation and Momentum; Will you Find all the ‘Hidden’ Freebies?; A Little Biz Can Make Big Money Online; FREE Internet Marketing Products and Downloads!; It’s My Blogaversary!;, Inspiring Irish Blessing; Review – Roboform; and 11 Useful Tips for How to Use the Secret!

The blog is neatly laid out into boxes that contain the blog meat, and this makes it easy to navigate. You will find a top menu bar, as well as a left and right sided navigation system, with bloggeries being centralized. In the top menu bar, you will find links to Home, Money Makers, Favorite Sites, Freebies, About Me, Contact, Disclosure Policy, and Privacy Policy. Bloggeries are in black text on the yellow background of the boxes, and the header of the blog is in green, which is to make you think of money and making money while you are there. In the left sided navigation bar you will find the Blogger Profile; Subscription buttons; Recommended Money Makers; Recommended Products and Programs Menu; Free Reports, Programs and Ebooks Menu; Categories Menu (called Labels); Archives Menu, and a Recent Entrecard Droppers Widget. The blog is a very informative and comprehensive blog which you can see in its extensive categories menu which will direct you to sections such as 100% Referral Commissions, Affilliate Marketing, Blog Reviews, Contests, Copywriting, Daily 3$ Special, and so much more. The right sided navigation systems is used strictly for Entrecard purposes as well as some advertising and AdSense.

This blog gets a 3.4/5 at this point with just a few suggestions to offer. Overall this is a well organized blog with a clean template and thus it scores well on navigation scores. Content is well written in a strong personal voice that is credible for the reader. Activity scores are lacking a little as the blog is averaging around 15 or 16 posts a month, and scores would be higher with regular, meaning daily, activity. The appearance scores of the blog could use some work, as this blog has quite extensive advertising located throughout the entire blog, and this reviewer found it more than a little distracting. I understand the function of the blog is to make money, but throughout the entire read during the review, I kept feeling like someone was trying to ‘sell me’ something. Otherwise however, this is a well organized blog, and comprehensive in the amount of information it puts out. With regular activity, it should be able to maintain and sustain a healthy readership over time.

Kivinars Blog – Review

Bloggeries — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:00:32 +0000

If you are looking for another website that offers you tips and tricks of the trade of making money online, than you may want to have a look at Kiviniar’s blog. The owner of the blog is Kiviniar, a 24 year old who writes from India, and left his full-time job in December 2007 to earn a living online. Kiviniar is also seeking an MBA in Marketing, and will see that dream come true in about a year and a half. Kiviniar has spent a lot of time building websites and making money from them, but he is taking it to the next level by blogging about it in his goal to become the New Age Webmaster. He enjoys building websites, but wants to use his blog to interact with peers and to help some newbies along the way. At Kiviniar’s blog you will find updates on the best money making opportunities on the web, as well as web technologies or anything else he may find interesting or even controversial. Find out more about Kiviniar’s blog by reading any of his recent bloggeries: Voxant Newsroom CPM Rates for March; Bloggers Need Advice, Up Start; Time to Moan Again: Frustration or Ecstasy; Getting Started with Affiliate Marketing, and Free WordPress Themes at Sutra Skins.com.

The blog is well organized and neatly laid out which makes it easy to navigate. Bloggeries are left marginalized and there are two right navigation systems as well as a top navigation system. To note, this blog is better viewed in Firefox. Bloggeries are in black text on white background and links are highlighted in a light turquoise. In the top navigation system you will find links to the Home page, Glossary, About page, Contact page, Forums, and Free Directory. The left navigation bar offers you advertising, Webmaster Tools Menu, The List Galore, Tag Cloud, Categories Menu, Archives Menu, and a My blog log visitors widget. Categories you will find on this blog are things like Affiliate programs, Announcements, Cash Cow, Contests, CPM Programs, Freebies, Glossary, Java Script, Paid Blogging, PHP Scripts and so many more. In the far right navigation bar you will find the blog meat – Recent Posts Menu, Recent Comments Menu, Highest Rates Posts, Blogroll, Contact Info, Family and Friends List, and stats menu for how many readers are online at Kiviniar’s blog right now.

This blog gets a 4/5 as it scores very well on just about every count. The blog is well organized and contains all of the essential blog materials thus making it very easy to navigate. The blog is simply laid out with a clean design so it scores well for appearance as well. The only change I would make to the appearance is the ads located within each post. They may be a little distracting to some readers if they are confronted with ads within every bloggery. The blog is unique in its own right, so it scores well there as well. The content scores well as it is well-written and the techniques and tips are given in a user-friendly voice that most bloggers will appreciate. The activity however could use some work as bloggeries are coming in every few days at most, and the most recent bloggery is about a week old. The blogger will need to be a little more active in order to sustain his readership. Otherwise however, this is a well organized blog with user friendly content, and thus, it should sustain a healthy readership over time.

Conversion Stats Blog – Review

chrissie — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:26:52 +0000

If you are looking for some additional tools to track your current website or blog’s success, then you may want to stop in at the blog for Conversion Stats. This blog is for the company known as Conversion Stats located in Hayneville, Alabama. The goal of the company is to provide you with an efficient conversion tracking system that will allow you to succeed in Internet Marketing. At Conversion Stats, you can use their tools to gain access to first rate analytics and statistical reporting for things that are happening on your website. Using these tools, you can study the dynamics of the development of your website or blog, and see just how successful your marketing campaigns are. The blog for Conversion Stats makes it a little more personal, by offering you articles and tips on how to maximize your blog or website success. Find out for yourself what Conversion Stats has to offer by checking out any of their most recent bloggeries: Shopping Cart Optimization, The Web Analytics ABC, SEO Campaign Tracking: What to Start With; Promoting Your Website: Off-page Optimization; Web Analytics Methods For Your Business, Website Analysis: Some Like it Hot; and How to Measure your Websites’ Success.

The blog is run by a professional company, and as such it offers the same clean layout that the company website offers. Bloggeries are in black text on white background with links highlighted in black for headlines, and in red for all other links. In the top navigation bar you will find links to Home, Overview, Demo, Pricing, About page, Contact page, and a log out page. Bloggeries are left marginalized and there is a right sided navigation bar. In the right navigation bar you will find links to the About page, Archives Menu, Categories Menu, and Blogroll. The blog is very small, only a few months old at this point, so there is not much blog meat to it yet, but it is growing. The categories you will find in this blog are Pay Per Click and Website Analytics. Most bloggeries are associated with relevant pictures, and the headlines for each bloggery are in a nice big font, so you really can’t miss them.

I will give this blog a 3.2/5 at this point, though I do suspect it will be a very successful blog and would score higher in the future. The blog scores well for appearance and navigation, as well as for a unique concept to the world of making money online. The content is done well and in a user-friendly voice that makes the applications and techniques discussed easily understood by the reader. The activity could use some more frequency, as bloggeries are quite frequently several days apart, even more than a week in some cases. For a new blog I would suggest daily activity just to give the search engines a consistent flow of ‘food’ content. The blog being so new also looks a little sparse in the navigation bar, and I might suggest adding some standard ‘blog meat’ menus to fill up that space. Things like Recent Posts or Recent Comments would make a great difference here. Also, I would suggest the addition of more categories, as the bloggeries that are currently displayed on the home page could easily be spread across a number of categories given their keyword friendly headlines. By adding more categories the blog would again, attract the search engines with those keyword friendly terms. Finally I’d recommend they change their title from their website URL to something more descriptive like “Conversion Stats Internet Marketing Blog“. Overall however, it’s a good blog and professionally laid out. For a blog stemming from a business concept, this should do very well over time.

Make Money Online – EzMoney – Blog Review

chrissie — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:06:32 +0000

If you are looking for some practical advice from another blog about making money, then you really want to stop and check out EzMoney. The bloggers here are fully aware that they are a fish in a school of make money online blogs, however, they want to create a more practical blog for bloggers that wish to make money. EzMoneyOn.Net is run by two bloggers and is geared to be a place where you will find different ways to make money online, in simple presentations. Some of the methods found here have been tried by these bloggers, and some of them are tried as they go along their blogging experiences. Either way, their process is published on their blog as are their results. To see how these bloggers are doing with their money making experiences, be sure to check out any of their most recent bloggeries: Easy money on the Net?; Free Banner Ads For You: Project WonderFree, Batch 6; Link O Rama: Get Links From Blog Carnivals; What is RSS?; How Much Money can One Make Online With Smorty; Entrecard: Free Advertising which Drives Free Traffic To Your Blog; and Bidvertiser: I month’s report.

The blog is well organized and thus has a clean template that is easy to navigate. Bloggeries are in black text on white background with a distinct ‘green’ header which to me, subconsciously makes me think of money. A great theme for the blog, nonetheless. Bloggeries are left marginalized and there are two navigation bars. In the left navigation bar you will find a menu with links to different pages, Categories Menu, and an Archives Menu. In the far right navigation bar you will find subscription information, Ads, Featured Posts Menu, Recent Posts Menu, and the Recent Comments Menu. Most of the bloggeries are textual, but the odd post does contain a relevant picture associated with it.

Overall, I give this blog a 4/5 The blog scores well on all scoring criteria. For navigation the blog does well as it contains all major essentials of blog materials, and thus making it easy to navigate. The blog has good user friendly and easy to read content as well, which gives it some solid credibility for a money making blog. Appearance wise the blog does do okay, though I suggest it add more pictures to the bloggeries. To me right now it just seems a little too texty, and some pictures would give the posts a little more life. I also think there is too much white space right now in the navigation bars. I would suggest either reducing the number of posts on the main page, or moving the navigation bars into one main navigation bar system. Overall however, the blog has a lot to offer and presents itself well enough to do so. For those looking for a blog about making money, this one has a wealth of practical tips to do so.

The World Wide Web Blog – Review

chrissie — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 15:19:31 +0000

Bloggeries is going to look at another blog about Internet marketing and what does and doesn’t work on the Internet. The blog is called The World Wide Web Blog. The WWW Blog is about observing the Internet with fun, but primarily, how to make money on the Internet. Experience the world of making money online through an amateur expert by the name of Chetan Bhawani. Chetan is an amateur expert because he has begun his launch into Internet money making in less than a year. Having started out with some curious interest in May 2006, Chetan has since become an Internet entrepreneur and makes a solid living on the Internet. How? He has a long list of 29 blogs, owns his own SEO company with 5-8 employees, owns between 10 and 12 web directories, and so many more accomplishments. And yes, all in less than a year. But don’t get him wrong, the Internet isn’t his life. Chetan is actually a dental student and focuses most of his time on his education. But find out more of what Chetan has to say about his Internet pursuits through his recent bloggeries: Apple, Google and Microsoft in Fortune’s 20 Most Admired Companies; Google Knol – Still a Big Exception?; Netscape – Dominating Once, Disappearing Now, Changes Made in the Blog & a Question to All, 9 Reasons why Mozilla Firefox is better than Internet Explorer, and Why Wordpress is Better than Blogger.

The blog is well organized into several navigation systems and this makes navigation somewhat simple. It is however almost *too* organized as I find the layout a little distracting. Everything is organized into menu boxes and it is hard to see what is content and what is blog advertising. There is a top navigation bar that lists links for Case Studies, Gadgets, Contests, Wordpress, Blogging, and The WWWblog News. In the left navigation bar there is a box for latest blog updates menu, and one for WWW channels or a tag cloud. There is also a middle navigation system that contains boxes for subscription information and for Most Viewed Articles. Moving to the right navigation system you will find a top menu box that is divided into three sections of posts – latest, popular, and sections or categories. You will then see in this navigation bar a Recent Comments menu, favorites menu and stats, and a Top Commenters Menu.

Overall this is an excellent blog and I rate it at 4.1/5 for now which is good considering it is very new. The appearance of the blog is neat and clean and so the blog scores well there. I would like to see some personality in the form of a personalized header to make it stand out; a favicon would be great as well. The content is excellently written even when English is not a native tongue, it is very difficult to tell. Content is also very active with posts sometimes more than once a day, so this blogger is keeping his readers active which is always great. The only issue I had with the blog was as already mentioned. The blog seems to be divided almost entirely into menu boxes and columns which makes it difficult to see where the blog content is actually located. It made a few issues with navigation but mostly I found it distracting from an appearance perspective. I might suggest moving the blog boxes into one or two navigation bars down the sides of the blog with bloggeries running down the center or marginalized. Not finding content can be detrimental to the blog, and though its current layout is neat and clean, it is almost too much so as it is hard to find content potentially for a more novice user. Overall however this is a good blog with a lot of excellently researched content and will serve its readership well.

Netvestor Blog Review

chrissie — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:35:43 +0000

For those looking to make a few bucks on the Internet, you will definitely want to stop into the Netvestor blog. The blog owner is a 31 year old male, and he uncovers from his own experiences the to-do’s and the to-don’ts on making money on the internet. Primarily his interest rests in buying and selling websites and domains, however he does have a lot to say about other areas that you can make money online. To see these tips for yourself, check out any of his most recent bloggeries on a wide range of topics: Call out to Subscribers; Reinvest thy money, buy a website!; Little about Netvestor; Netvestor makes an Appearance in New York Times!; How to double Adsense income with 2 simple tricks, Three ways for Successful Conversion; Wake Up Call: Stop Reading Ebooks, Time for Action…; Top List of Best Webmaster Forums; and Two Best Search Engine Ranking Tips I can Give You.

Navigation on the site is fairly straightforward. Bloggeries are left marginalized and there is a right navigation system. Here you will find Subscription options, and then an interesting little box stating the blogger’s current earnings, monetized websites, and his overall goal. Following this you find a menu for Website Investing, Best of Netvestor, Netvestor Projects, Archives Menu, Useful Sites, About Me, and a Reader demographic poll. Right now there are no relevant pictures with the posts, and I think the blog would definitely benefit from an addition such as this. Currently the blog just has a too ‘texty’ feel and I think adding pictures would not only give meaning to the bloggeries, but also break up the text of the blog. I also don’t see a categories menu, and I always suggest this when one is not missing. I think this would definitely add to the blog’s traffic, as the blogger is definitely very good at keyword usage. Lastly, I think the blogger could spice up his About page a little to give himself a little more credibility with the readers. A lot of readers connect with the About page and often it is the first thing they will go to.

Overall I give this blog a 4/5. As mentioned the navigation scores are hurting a little bit, and the addition of some blog ‘meat’ such as categories and profile information would help this. Content scores however are awesome, as the blogger uses a strong personal voice on a topic that he knows very well. This lends credibility to the blogger for the readership and it is easy to see why his subscription base is a healthy size. Appearance scores are good as well, the blogger focuses more on content than on advertising which makes good use of the blog space and does not distract the readers. Activity scores do need some work, but not much as I am only seeing content coming in every few days at best. To get better traffic from the search engines, constant updating will serve this blog very well. This is a unique blog and one that could serve a wide readership. As such, it should do very well as it progresses.
