Hi everyone!

If you’re struggling to figure out how to take your blog to the next level or to meet specific goals with your blog, then a blog review might be the answer!

I would like to invite everyone in the Blogging club to submit their blog for a constructive public review. If you would like to participate, simply enter your blog URL in this thread along with any particular goals you are trying to meet or pain points.

I will then select one blog per week in order that they are submitted on this thread and start a weekly Blog Review thread for the featured blog with some suggestions about the particular goal you are looking to achieve or some general tips on SEO, social media, content, etc. I will then open up the floor for everyone in the group to chime in with their suggestions.

Sound good? Then please start submitting your blog URLs, goals, and pain points as a reply to this thread. Reviews will be posted on Tuesdays – weekly or bi-weekly depending on the number of people interested!

THE RULES

As always, there are a few little rules to keep in mind…

1. Do not submit blogs with adult or other nefarious content. They will be removed.

2. Do not add review notes or suggestions to this thread – keep an eye out for threads about each individual blog and add your suggestions there.

3. Do not start new threads asking to review your blogs. Requests must be made in this thread only.

4. When threads are posted about individual blogs, please add constructive feedback and suggestions. This series is to help people improve their blogs, not to have their blogs roasted Comedy Central style.

5. Please be patient – if the list gets long, you might have a little wait time before your review is posted.

Hi Kristi this is a great idea. Can I share this publicly?

@thedannorris Yes Dan! I’d love to get the word out about it.

I would be happy that my blog is reviewed by you kristi.

Here is my blog, ToStartBlogging.Com

Hi

My blog is http://www.musketswordpaint.com

I’m hoping to build a larger readership and improve my profile as a writer. Recently I’ve not been posting as often as I’d like due to work commitments. I try to make most of the post original content written by me. My next step is to build a more professioal look to the site.

Any comments would be gratefully recieved.

Cheers Jason

Kristi,

Thank you so much for doing this!
My Blog is BenjaminBeck.com 
My Goals

• Increase traffic and my personal brand recognition
• Increase comments and reader engagement
• Connect and help other passionate marketers

Hello Kristi,

Excellent idea – I would be delighted to receive feedback on our blog zapplab.net

The blog is very new – it is only up and running now for a month or two – and we are working on quality content more and more – as a start up we are almost off the ground but not quite so our goal is to get the word out there, establish our brand and communicate and engage with our users – we have very little traffic (if any) so tips on the beginning stages of a blog would be great!

I see our blog as central to our sm marketing strategy – as it will feed twitter and facebook with main posts.

Thanks a million!!

hello kristy kindly review my blog http://www.danihowto.com ,this is first time for me to see some one offering free review of blog ,some seo guys charge money for that though.amazing thing happening.

thanks I’d love a review. my blog is writingtofreedom.wordpress.com.

My goals are

1- clarify how & what to focus on for commercialization

probably as a writer

2- increase traffic & reach

3- is my content ok or why haven’t I reached a bigger audience over

8 months & 75 blogs?

Hi kristi, My blog http://www.imagesense.com.au/index.php/blog has only been going since May/June. It is all about showing ladies how they can dress successfully in today’s fashion no matter what their body shape, personality style or profession is.My blog was started to primarily gain traffic to my website, & build a presence of being an expert in my field and therefore to generate appointments.

thanks Joanne

Hi! My blog is  http://destrydarrdesigns.tumblr.com/. I post new blogs anywhere between once a week to once a month and send them out via MailChimp newsletter then post to ping-o-matic and all my social media. Four out of our five followers are from our office and I cannot find the blog on any search engine. I get positive feedback from the people I send the posts to but am not getting any followers. I don’t know if it is Tumblr, that people don’t like the content, aren’t finding the blog, or something else…Thank you for the help. Destry

Thanks for the great offer.  My blog is origunorig.blogspot.com

I started the blog a year ago, as a personal challenge to learn more about social media and measurement.  Not especially extroverted, I knew this business of attracting followers would be a difficult one.  Still, I have learned quite a bit in the time I’ve been around.

But I would like to crack this nut  Guest blogging and thoughtful commenting don’t seem to be as effective a strategy as it sounded.  It could be my introverted nature.  It could also be my content and writing style that’s killing it.  Either way, I’d like to convert more visitors to followers and elicit more comments from my readership.

Thanks for any feedback you can offer!

What a great opportunity.  I would love feedback on my blog: http://www.trip-logic.com

I would love any feedback you all have!

Thanks very much, Kristi. This is a really great offer.

Hi Kristi, thanks in advance for doing this! I am interested in the reviews. 

I am a chiropractic student and my purpose of this blog is to educate readers about chiropractic, nutritions, wellness and natural health in general. It also serves a platform for my blogging. 

I plan to make it into my own brand name and to increase traffic. I also plan to make money off my site from ads and sponsors (not sure of the amount per month) someday.

I normally share my blog content on facebook page and on twitter to direct readers to my website blog. 

I would love to increase readers, comments, and be engaged with discussion. 

Since I will be a physician later in couple years, I would love to have a presence on internet and to my readers and my brand to gain a trusted reputation in this chiropractic field. I hope this initial step will allow me to gain momentum in that direction. 

I do not have a team so I am the only person managing the website. I am currently in talk to try and change the entire design of the website to make it look sleek and professional soon.

@kristi-hines Thank you so much for doing this. I blog about Pinterest at http://www.ohsopinteresting.com

My page views are growing at a snails pace, I think I could do better with SEO but I’m not sure what to do. I’d appreciate any feedback about the blog in general. I feel I look at it so much that I’m sure I’m missing something obvious that could be changed to improve it. Thanks!

Hi, my blog is http://vpeachdesignsphotographyandgraphics.blogspot.com/. I am looking to increase traffic and interaction

I am planning to redesign both of my blogs in December, so a blog review would give me some good feedback on what things need improving.

Just Chick Flicks: http://justchickflicks.com/ This blog is currently on Thesis, but I want to change to Genesis, with a more magazine feel . I like the look of Fast Company’s blog. 

Clarabela Media: http://clarabelamedia.com/This is the website for my freelance writing business, so it is the most important. I will also change this site to Genesis. I am considering the Cre8tive child theme, but need to figure out my content strategy. 

My blog is at http://networkingninjas.net  This is a fairly new site for me, so any suggestions at all would be appreciated.

Oh yes, please!! I started to blog with the aim of gaining traffic to my network marketing sites and converting the traffic to sales. But most importantly, I need to express myself and develop to be a writer. I would very much appreciate your review and feedback. My blog site is: http://www.lizoblogs.com
Once again, thanks.

http://planetzuda.com/news is my companies blog. I would like more people to tweet about it, like it, basically be involved so I know I have an audience. I have tried using marketing tips by kiss metrics, which have helped slightly. I also recently joined Triberr and am more involved on LinkedIn Groups.

Thank You Kristi!

I would like to submit my blog for review.:

http://PeterTrapasso.com

We are coming up on our 1 year anniversary and would love to be reviewed!

My goals are using the blog as a platform to share my writing skills for hire and to generate leads too.  I also need to increase traffic to the blog asap.

The topics are generally related to social media.

cheers,
Pete

Hello, I am wondering if I can still get on the blog review offer. I posted that I would like a review last week. How does one get to know if the review has been done or the outcome of the review? Where to check the result and advice? I am on Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter. Best regards.

Greetings,
I recently started blogging – http://www.papateriebelle.com and I’m interested in blogging about various wedding trends, products, etc.
Please review and share your thoughts.

Kristi,

I was pleased to see where you are offering to review blogs for constructive criticism. I have not had any feed back to my blog. Of course you have to have readers for that! Everything I do to promote my site is a new venture for me. I have no experience with blogs or anything else I do to promote my site. I welcome all criticism good or bad. Since the purpose of my website is selling products I do not want to make my blog all about self-promotion. I try to mix in different subjects and hopefully helpful subjects and I would like to promote positive communication between readers and myself. This may not be the correct approach. Looking forward to an evaluation!

My Blog: http://literaryleaves.inhighcottonmall.com/

Thank You

Kristi,
Thanks for creative opportunity. My blog can be found here: http://facebookmarketingfordummies.wordpress.com/

I am trying to build some interesting but useful material. My goal is to coach Social Networking Professionals.My pain point is I am not sure if that is coming through at at all.

Thanks again,
Kyle
