Hello! I have started Blog Reviews just about a week ago. It is all about blogging and bloggers. I am doing some blog reviews and interviews with successful bloggers.

Right now I have a concern with making at least some pocket cash from it. I'll really appreciate suggestions. My blog is viewed by 50-100 visitors every day and has no PR for now.

To be honest with you, this looks like it could be a good blog but I have no idea if it will be.

The interviewing other bloggers is a neat twist, but I'm not sure if it's enough of a hook by itself.

My major issue is the TLA ad right in the middle. Sooner or later, the "company" is going to go down and go down hard and people linking to it will be affected by it. The signs are there; it's just a matter of time.

Other than that, about the only thing I'd consider changing is to darken the blue on the hyperlinks. They're a bit too hard to read.

In other words, I think you've got an okay start (certainly a lot more intriguing than most blogs out there) but it really depends on where you go and how much effort you put into it over the next few months.

Thanks ADAM for such an extended review. I am planning to do blog review (critique) to accompany interviews. I deleted TLA ad, it does not do any good anyways. I made links a bit darker. Check them out.

Other than that, about the only thing I'd consider changing is to darken the blue on the hyperlinks. They're a bit too hard to read.

I am pretty new to blogging, so thats why I ask for advice. More feedback is welcomed!

Thanks again!

Woah...its a blog...about blogs....ace concept!
Personally its looking great, but the ad-sence is making the place look a little cluttered. Also the right hand side column looks a little cutters when it gets to two sub columns under the grey box.

But apart from that, its fab.

Thanks! I am struggling with the idea of gdropping AdSense on this site. It does not work here anyway. It is just a hope that AdSense can make me some spare money, that keeps me from taking the ads down... I have no idea when I will get enough traffic to get some nice direct ads on my blog...

One of the most important things to do ASAP with your blog is to get it its own domain ASAP. Otherwise, you will go through hell with Technorati and Google afterwards when migrating to a new domain. I learned this from experience.

Also, the three column look is a bit cluttered. You could easily move all your sidebar items into one single sidebar.

Qoody.net is my own domain. So I do not think I will need to move anywhere

I will concider what to do with the sidebar. I do not like its look myself.

One thing you might consider is moving the google ads up and to the left of your site. This should increase your ctr. Hot spots are left and top, colder spots right and bottom.

Thanks for the advice! I really do not want to change the layout that much. On this blog I am planning to drop AdSense completely. Well, maybe i'll still leave it some separate posts... but I will take note of your advice for my over blog, which is more commercial and more experimental. I do not care much what will happen to that one. i realized that my idea of blogging about Apple was a mistake from the start
