Blog Reviews by Bloggeries

The Worst SEO Blog Ever may try to fool you into thinking it’s the worst ever with its simple theme and slightly off-the-wall content, but upon further glance, you may find that this is comical relief in a world filled with SEO madness. While the author does seem to be a bit rough around the edges, he really just appears to be a cynic who has spent too much time researching keywords. What end result this brings is a perspective that is refreshing and funny and may actually drop a helpful hint or two along the way. The content is largely adult, with many curse words being used so consider that your disclaimer into the blog content.  If you are brave to proceed, you may enjoy the most recent bloggeries: Saravut is Not a Scraper Spammer, just a Jerk; I’ve Seen the Enemy – He’s a Jackass; SEO Hack Gets Canned…; and Saravut is not a Scaper, Spammer – Just a Jerk!.

The blog is easy to navigate with the bloggeries being left-marginalized and a handy right sided navigation bar.  Bloggeries are in black text on white background with links highlighted in a dark grey.  In the right sided navigation bar you will find a Recent Viewers Widget, Subscription Information, Recent Posts Menu, and then links to many other SEO sites that may have a bit more of the actual information that you need. Moving down you can find a Top Bloggeries Menu, Archives Menu, a variety of blogrolls, and a pull down Categories Menu.  The Categories Menu is divided according to contributors, but you will also find interesting information such as SEO Forums, SEO, and SEO Conferences.  The blog is primarily textual, but you will find the odd You Tube Video or picture thrown into the odd bloggery.

This blog gets a 2/5 for review with some tweaks needed.  The content is well written, and is quite humorous if you are looking for a good laugh on a contemporary topic.  The appearance of the blog however needs some work, as the theme is fairly simple, and this simplicity is not compensated with interesting graphics.  Outside of the odd You Tube flick, the blog is primarily textual and this kind of appearance has the tendency to drive readers away in a visually driven Internet world.  Navigation is easy however, with all of the blog essentials easy to find and access, and the uniqueness of the blog is certainly a plus.  Activity also could use some work with ts most recent bloggeries appearing in 2008, and with more regular content, this blog could be that much more successful.   If this blog is merely a forum to complain and swear, it is serving its purpose, however if it is readers the blog is looking for, he is going to have to work a bit harder to sustain them. Sadly the blog scores close to it’s promise.

Submit Edge is exactly what it means to be in a Search Engine Optimization Blog, and offers you a wide range of tips, tricks, and services  for your SEO efforts.  There is very little about SEO that you won’t find on this blog.  You can see this for yourself in any of their recent bloggeries: Twenty Ways to Obtain Valuable One-Way Links, What Google Doesn’t Know about Spam, How Do I Get Links for my Website, The Future of SEO as a ROI Tool, and Why Deeplinking and Fresh Content are Important.

The website operates as a business, and not just as a blog, and thus offers a wide range of navigation systems.  There is a top navigation system dedicated to the company where you will find links to Home, Testimonials, Support, Company, SEO Resources, Affilliate, and Reseller.  In the left navigation system you will find a long menu of SEO services offered including Content Writing, SEO, Web Designing, and more.  In the right navigation bar you will find a Categories and an Archives Menu.   Categories for this blog are comprehensive given its niche, and these include a wide variety of topics including Google Universal, Google Webmaster Tools, Keyword, Link Building, RSS & SEO, SEO, Spam and SEO, XHTML, and SEO Content.  The Footer then offers you an additional navigation system with links to Home, SEO Tools, Site Map, Testimonial, Contact Us, Bulk Discount, Partner, and SEO Tips Blog.  The overall design of the blog is appealing with bloggeries in black text on white background and a bright blue border and theme.  Most of the bloggeries are textually based, with very few pictures associated.

I give this blog a 4 /5 for now, for me it was missing a few vital pieces of blog meat.  The appearance and navigation scores for this blog are very good with its organized template and clean design.  The content of the blog is well written and for the most part in a user-friendly voice that the average Internet reader can understand.  Activity is doing very well with bloggeries coming in daily.  Some key blog features that would benefit this blog would be menus such as a recent posts menu, and a recent comments menu. These menus both offer some connectivity to the readership, and as well provide additional ease with navigation.  I also don’t see an about page. While it is fairly obvious what the blog is about, to offer SEO services, blog readers do enjoy reading about pages and this is yet another tool blogs use to connect with their readership. It provides a more personal connection between the writer and the reader.  Also, this blog is reading more like a business website with services to sell rather than as an informational blog with an interest in sustaining readership, so I do think that the addition of some features to connect with the readers will improve the ‘blogability’ of this blog. Otherwise, for all intents and purposes it looks and reads like an excellent blog and should experience much success.
