Last night I posted a tweet about giving away a free review, the usual price being $30, and I was amazed by the amount of direct messages I had about it! Everyone that sent me a message had a website, or in one case had a gallery of amazing paintings, that I would have loved to review. Maybe I shall do another free review another time. As I said in the tweet, the first person to contact me got the review. So everyone please welcome ZERGmoney.com and Cameron, the owner of the blog, to the inspection table!

Firstly lets take a look at the design that ZERGmoney currently uses. I very rarely see such simple designs now there is so much “Web 2.0″ publicity everywhere. Usually simple designs such as this lack the “special something” that designs need to succeed, in my opinion this design is very well suited to the blog because it tries not to take focus off the the content. To improve the design I would recommend changing the sidebars, perhaps either by merging the two together or moving one to the left of the content so that the important information is in the centre. It might also be worth investing in a logo, as it helps to brand your blog.

The focus of the website is fairly simple, though many would say it is too broad, the subtitle says “Blackhat, Whitehat, Money Making, and Internet Marketing Blog” which tells the audience straight away what the blog is about. One thing that I find suprising is that there is no about page and no archive page. My time machine page is one of my most viewed pages, which makes me wonder why Cameron has not made one. One reason might be because he has not wrote enough posts and does not like to admit it. If this is the case, then I believe that the best thing to do would be to make the archive page and prove to people that even a small blog can have some very useful posts. Also, an about page would be extremely helpful for the reader to understand why the blog was made and who the author is.

The content that Cameron has written so far is very interesting, most of the posts are fairly unique and not the type that are covered over and over again. I also really like his style of writing, because it is very similar to my own. The way he speaks personally and asks questions is really good because it makes the reader interested and want to answer. This creates a community, which is what I love about blogs. I comment I do have about the content is that some of the posts are uncategorised, it is always best to find a category for every post as it makes the author seem more organised. I have been looking through the posts and the spelling seems to be checked well, there are a few grammer mistakes but nothing that is too obvious.

That’s it from me, I believe this blog has a lot of potential and could improve by tweaking it as I have stated already. Please can I have your opinion of the blog, what do you not like? What do you like?

Thank you,

Shane
