Enkay Blog Reviewed – Reader Love Continues

Dear Readers, I would like to thank you for reading this post. I highly value your feedback and would like to know more about my readers. Follow me on Twitter

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?

Enkay Blog 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.

thanks for the great reviw syed. I agree with all the points posted. The pr issue has been a sensitive subjective (jokingly) because I’ve always been given a of and then have it taken away! LOL. On second glance I could make the MBL logos smaller but I guess the reason ive had them big is in some ways to give back if people see it and click on them. Thanks again for all the comments. Oh and I’d like some help in limiting the archive list to 10 because I don’t know how to do it. Anyway thanks again and great points have been brought up in the review.

I’ve been hooked onto Nabil’s blog ever since the Balkhis ML contest. What I like about his blog is that he’s written on totally unique topics. Keep up the good work.

My only advice would be to quickly add a fav icon. No matter how ugly, it is always better than having a blank one! And he’s a good designer. I’m sure he can come up with something interesting

Hey Angad. Thanks for the comments. I have seen some of your logos and that has inspired me to do a logo as well. You should see a fav icon as soon as I get the logo ready :)

hey thanks. I like experimenting with my logos but my current Favicon is really bad. It is so difficult to put your site’s identity into such a small space. I think it’s beyond me!

Syed has a nice Favicon.

(Comments wont nest below this level)

I almost lost Enkay blog from my blogging radar if not for your review of his great blog. A short yet fair review.
