E-Chat Host Online Dating - Blog Review

If you are looking for another source of information to meet your online dating needs, you may want to check out E-Chat Host . This is a blog dedicated to online dating tips as well as the latest news and reviews in the world of online dating. There is little to say about the author as this blog does not contain an about me page, but you can guage the effectiveness of the tips yourself by having a look at some of the recent posts: Masterseek – New Business Search Engine, Mommy Makeover, Earn for Blogging, Kissing tips for First Timers, and 46 Facts about Women. Some of the tips are tongue in cheek, no pun intended, so take them with a grain of salt. And if there is something missing here that you would like to see in the world of online dating, the author does have a section where you can ask questions.

Before I say much about navigation, I should mention this is another site best viewed with Mozilla Firefox as opposed to Internet Explorer. You will see some funky formatting through IE that is not there through Firefox. The posts themselves are left marginalized and the blog contains two right navigation bars. Posts are standard black text on white background, and they do come with relevant pictures, but I am wondering if the pictures are ad content. The right navigation bar contains a menu for latest articles or recent posts, but it is empty, and though I see recent posts, I am not too sure why that hasn’t been updated. The navigation bars also contain a list of other dating sites, advertising upon advertising, a links list, and if you scroll right to the bottom you will find a very perfunctory about me page. The archive menu is found in the right navigation bars as well. Here you will find 81 posts through all of 2007. I do notice the frequency of activity picking up however with currently what appears to be very close to daily posting.

This site is getting a 2.1 from me, far too busy with the advertising. If the site was proficient in other areas, the advertising would not take away from the overall review as much. In fact, there seems to be more advertising than content which definitely takes from the appeal of the blog. The content also seems to be lacking originality as almost every site has the source listed for it, so I am not sure if the blogger is actually even blogging, or simply passing on information from other sources. The about me page also is practically nonexistent other than stating there in fact IS an about me page. Also, the obvious issue with the latest article menu can not go unnoticed. Again, for things like this it is better to put nothing at all rather than advertise a lack of content. I am not an online dater, but if I ever were one, I certainly wouldn’t remember this site unless some serious changes had been made to it.

Online Dating Stuff Blog - Bloggeries Review

Blog ReviewAre you a single looking to meet someone once and for all? Or perhaps you are just looking for some casual fun and are tired of the singles scene in your area. How about online dating, have you tried it yet? In this day and age it seems to be THE thing for singles to do. If this is something you are considering, then you definitely need to check out “Online Dating Stuff”. The opening headline for the most recent post reads, “OkCupid.com Poll Reveals Kinkiest, Loneliest, Most Religious States in America”. It’s a good catch, anything screaming kinky is going to have the reader investigate further. What the reader is going to find is a Blog that has got to be one of the most comprehensive review site for online dating.

If you are thinking about online dating, you are going to find a review here of just about anything that is available online for today’s singles. There are reviews from casual dating sites (Ok Cupid for one) to more serious single matchers such as eHarmony — a site where they pride themselves on their marriage rate. At online-dating-stuff you will discover what sites are free, what sites you have to pay for, what sites are giving free trials, and what kind of costs you can expect to incur. It almost seems like you are hiring an agent to find you some talent. But if you are having trouble meeting someone, online dating may be the way to go. Why NOT commission someone else to do all your dirty work? Here you will be able to find a site dedicated to the Jewish, the bowler, the Must Love Dogs lover, or even a site strictly dedicated to the gold-digging woman. I kid you not; there is a site there for everyone. Welcome to dating in the 21st century.

The reviews are well written, and well documented. They are comprehensive and provide pictures of the website as well as personal testimonials. The pictures are clear, relevant, and give a very good impression for the online dating connoisseur. The layout shows a solid list of singles sites as well as a good list of links if you just want your mind to wander. The overall layout is well done with Ad Sense ads blending right into the color scheme of the Blog. I wondered if this Blog was an affiliate site for all of the companies it is reviewing, but if it is, you can’t tell. In fact, this site is so well done you almost can’t even tell that it is a Blog. If you are looking for something specific, the navigation on this Blog makes it very easy for you.

I am going to give this site 4 out of 5. It is well written, well laid out, and it is very easy to navigate. The content is well done, and it is unique as it offers options for every type of dater. The site is not unappealing and offers an easy layout and design. The posts are fairly current, with the most recent being the 3rd of April. They range from every 3rd day to 2 wks apart, and that is the only thing that brings the overall mark down. It seems to be getting more current but when you can see Feb 1st – April 3rd on the main page of any blog…. It doesn’t make me reach for the bookmark. My suggestion to improve this would be to add more relationship type articles or dating posts / testimonials on days where there are no sites to review.
