How to enter:

Post the prize list and do a short review about the blog. This way, I get 20 entries and you must subscribe to the RSS feed for 2 more entries.

My review:

I did read a few posts and I did like many of them. It does have a lot of information about blogging, making money online, SEO….  but I stopped myself at page 7.

My tips: See a list of the 10 recent posts but I would also remove a lot of ads on the sidebar to make room for it. I would remove the Adsense on the left sidebar and place a 300×250 in the post itself. It should not be on the main page(index) but in the post page so to keep the ads more contextual.  I would not show the whole post either on the main page.  This could allow to see 5 posts(partly).  It is your blog and you wanted a review.

Anyway people, have a look too while checking out the contest.

Rules are here

End: July 14

Good luck to all!
