Alright this is the second link love from the link love posts. And in this post if you haven’t guessed, Enkay Blog is getting reviewed.

Enkay Blog is definately a more personalized type MMO blog which not only shares how to make money but it shares other useful techniques. It analyzes how the marketing is working. What can you do to get more exposure. To me personally Enkay writes quality content which gets the reader. Atleast me. If you don’t know I check out all the blogs that belongs to my commentators. But I don’t always stay on all. Why?

Multiple reasons, too much ads, not enough content, not attracting content, ugly design and so on and so forth.

Believe it or not, I am in one of the top commentators at Enkay’s blog because I feel like that I should comment on all the posts. I always have something to say. Enkay you are doing a very good job in keeping the content. Keep it up.

Next thing, I really like the idea of having a list of female bloggers. Maybe I will make a list of something else. Lists are a big traffic generator and gets alot of mention if you guys haven’t notice. Oo and did you see that Amanda Roberts from WordScrawl is listed at 57. Thats cool as she is a part of Uzzz Productions.

I am very critical when it comes to the design of a site, even though the header doesn’t use very high quality images, the simplicity of a design is what gets the look. And the design is not over loaded with ads is another good thing.

I like the idea of a tabber in the sidebar, I am just hoping that you have the Archive tab limited to a certain number then have an archive page. Because otherwise it will go long after a time.

Mybloglog, I have never liked the big icons, But I guess that is more of a personal issue.

A few weeks ago, Enkay’s stats weren’t so astonishing, but in a few weeks he has done a very good job. His subscriber count has increased to 150, and his alexa is continuallry rising.

If I can give you some tips Enkay that would be, you don’t need to reply to all the comments you get. Just counting your replies on the contest post, it was 61 out of 167

By the way readers did I mention that Enkay is running a cool ML Contest?

Check it out.

Enkay all I can say is that you are doing a good job managing your blog. Don’t get over emotional about PR because it is just another inaccurate value. Good luck with your ventures.

If you guys want to get your blog reviewed by me. There are still 3 more free reviews to be given out. Just comment on this post.

Today, I was on Plurk for a short while till I noticed someone mentioned Scour. So I said, you know what the heck lets check it out. So I took a visit. It asked me to sign up.

I signed up to Scour, and I got 250 points by default. Right now, I have no idea what these points are for. Then I read a little and saw that you get points to search, comment, and leave a thumbs up or thumbs down. The next part was that these points actually converts into actual $$$. 6500 points = $25.

Well now you are thinking that 6500 points is alot. Well not exactly. Considering for people like me who search Google, then Yahoo for multiple different reasons. I can just search the keyword here and it tells me the ranking of each term in the Search Engine. Not only that, if I like the article I can leave a thumbs up.

I get points. So if you are doing 25 searches a day. At the end of the year, you will have extra $25. Well you are thinking it is just $25. I think in terms of it is $25 that I am getting now which I wasn’t getting before.

Besides for bloggers like you and me who search for the sources while writing a post, this can be another great source of income. For someone like me who ends up doing over 100 searches a day, I get an extra $125 for a year. For doing the same thing that I was doing before.

I like this idea much better.

You are probably thinking it is something weird. Well Just give it a Try. Sign up at Scour and start making money for your searches.

Aravind has been a regular user at Balkhis, and if you don’t know I am running a link love session, where I am giving away free blog reviews and free text links. Aravind happened to be the first commentator on that post therefore I have decided to review his site first.

Anytime you visit a site, the first impression you get is from the look of the website. While the free template that is being used on that template is not bad, the customizations done to it doesn’t make it look any more attractive. Usually, custom logos are supposed to blend in with the design, but at AravindJose.com it is not the case. My recommendation would be that try to use .png transparent files to make the logo. Use a better font. Something that looks a bit more simple and elegant. Add Fresh Thoughts Inside as the slogan right below the logo.

Next thing, I will come on is the ad placement. This website have very good positions. It is not crowded with ads. The only suggestion is, make your google adsense banner blend in. So instead of using the white background, use that grey background, so it matches with the template.

I really like the way the content is organized. As well as the featured posts. A thing that I would suggest is having a pagination system for your Older posts like I have with Balkhis.

Sidebar looks well, but the Tags section makes it a bit crowded. Perhaps leave the tags for an archive page.

I will suggest not displaying your feedcount when it is low. Because it discourage other readers from signing up. A big psychology theory. When people see low count, they think you know this guy must be doing something wrong thats why he have a low count. But if you show high count or no count, it will get users to subscribe to your feeds.

Image in the footer for RSS Feeds is broken, so that needs to be fixed.

I like your style of writing, the only thing I will say is stay consistent. If you are writing one post a day, then do one post a day. Don’t do 3 in one day, and 0 in the next two.

Other than the few things I mentioned, Aravind is doing a great job on his blog.

Fellas, please go check Aravind’s Blog at AravindJose.com. Reply to this post with what your feedback on his blog. Remember that you giving feedback will result in good karma for you. Meaning you might be the next person getting reviewed here.

Twitterfeed is something that I joined recently. Let me tell you a little about twitterfeed. Twitterfeed is a cool addon for twitter which checks your RSS feeds and put the latest posts on your twitter so your followers can read the blog post.

Twitterfeed also allows you to change the frequency of how often should the system check your feeds and publish the blog post. There are many other options such as prefixing the post and changing the display settings.

The only thing this addon requires is that you have an Open ID and a twitter account. Most of you already have an Open ID because you use alot of other services such as Technorati. I didn’t create another account, I just used my technorati account to verify.

I am posting once a day, therefore my blog feeds are set to be checked every 1 day. You should change it to whatever you like.

This is just another way you can use to add more exposure to your blog posts. I have already mentioned how much traffic I got from twitter since last month. The more followers you have, the better this tool is going to work for you.

Enjoy using it.

Well since the blog had so much going on, I never got a chance to post about the other companies that gave me a shirt in Adtech Miami 2008. This is one of the companies that I met at adtech exhibit hall called Media Kings. They are affiliate network but more like email marketing. They haven’t set up for blogs just yet.

But I like their shirt because It is very cool, and it looks good on me. Who am I kidding. I make it look good

Thanks Media King for the cool shirt.
