There is a lot going on there! My personal feeling is that there are way too many ads. While monitizing your blog is OK, it can be over-done. You want to remember your primary goal is to provide quality content. If your readers are bomb-barded with ads, they can ealily become distracted and leave. Another thing I noticed is that the entire blog will not fit on my screen (I use a laptop, standard size) and I must use the scroll bars at the bottom to see the entire page. While this is not a show-stopper for myself, it can a deal breaker for some readers and they will click-away before they even look at a little of your blog. The overall layout you have is good for SEO: Content on the left, Columns on the right. I think you may benefit from my latest post regarding free backlinks. Check it out...www.leeberlemann.com Also, I received a note from a fellow student regarding the increased pinging. Currently Wordpress pings every time you make a change to your blog. Some ISP's may get pissed that this is taking up too much bandwidth. So, he suggested a plugin that will only ping when you publish a new blog subject. I suggest you add this plugin. Be sure to edit it (through your WP dashboard) and follow the directions for proper activation. Here is the name: "MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer". Keep up the good work! Lee Hey Trevor,

Definitely one of the best. I felt I had to leave a comment because your blog is simply, so inspirational and informative, It has given me hope and ideas to better mine. It is so clean and fresh looking. I am always worried I overdo it myself, to much content you know. Your blog is just right. I would appreciate if you would pass comment on mine just to confirm I haven’t overdone it. On my blog I am doing a theme on successful internet marketers. Really like to know what you think as I am pretty new to all this layout stuff. I hope one day that I can write about your internet success.

I copied and pasted it in already All the Pings, trackbacks, RSSfeeds, bookmarking, digg, technori, etc etc etc is really a mystery to me. I guess I am old school enough that the on line and blogging vocabulary hasn't fully taken affect yet. When someone like you just give some straight forward simple instructions it really helps even if I don't know exactly what and how pinging is going to increase my blog traffic. If it does, yeaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again Nomr .-= Norm´s latest blog ..<a href="http://6degreesofseparationonline.com/?p=79" rel="nofollow">Gene Got It From Gary And I Got It From Gene</a> =-.
