Nice blog, you have got great content on your blog. I went through some of the interview and they are all good. You can still improve on a few things,

1) I see that you have already got a logo, why don’t you put the logo on the left side so that it is more visible. It will help in the branding.

2) You got too many tags on your blog, something which does not looks good and is bad for seo. So why not remove them, that will free up some space on the sidebar as well.

3) You can replace your static social buttons with voting ones, it will help you to gain more social votes.

overall you got a great blog,
keep it updated,
cheers,

@puzzl3d, sorry for the delayed reply, i was not online much for the last week…

Yes, it can take away visitors if you place ads on the top, but that is what putting advertisement does, it takes away visitors and gives you money for the clicks.

For the colors, the best is to use the same background and border as your website is, and the same font color as your website’s other fonts. For example, if you have black fonts on your blog, use black fonts for your ads. This is known as blending.

As a thumb rule, i use all fonts for ads as black, even links. helps to keep the consistency, but not a big issue if you use links as blue.
cheers,

basically the feed address is – yoursite.com/feed
try using this for your own blog and let us know…

also, post the link to your blog so that we can find out if there is any technical fault with the feeds…

In your wordpress admin panel, navigate to the theme editor options. In the editor options, click on the footer file. On the footer file, add anything just above the closing body tags… and it should appear at the bottom of your blog.

what are you planing to add on the footer, analytics or other stat code, or infolinks or other intext advertisement code? Let us know, perhaps we can give you a more targeted answer then…

i went through your blog but could not find that error, have you fixed it already?

Since i could not duplicate your error, perhaps if you provide some screenshots of the error, we might be able to help more…

As per adsense rule, putting an image next to your ad is not allowed, so it is better to just use your article text to surround it with the ads.

Use two text ads units, a 336*280 at the top, just below the title, surrounded with content on all sides. and use another text ad unit, 336*280, at the bottom. Leave the white space at the bottom, next to your ads. It actually looks good and helps your CTR.

cheers,

About your web design site – It is always hard to search out an exact looking theme, the best choice you have is to use your current site’s PSD and code it to wordpress.

Comming back to the apa2z, i like the design and presentation. Nice logo, great theme and everything seems good to go. Also, nice to see a blog dedicated to Andhra Pradesh.

I see that there is no option to leave comments, have you disabled the comment system? I would suggest you to turn it on… commenting is an important part of blogging,

keep it updated,

Yes, wordpress has plenty of themes and plugins available that can do pretty much everything you want. I just went through your blog and here are a few things i noticed so far:

1) Use a friendly permalinks structure, go to the settings in your wordpress admin panel and select permalinks. Use something like – /%postname%/ – in the permalink options.

2) Your header and the category structure below it is taking way to much of your top space. That is the most important space of a blog, “above the fold” – i would suggest you to use a small logo instead of the big header and place the category links on the sidebar.

3) Try having social voting buttons instead of static social buttons on the post pages.

overall, you have a nice blog,
keep it updated,
cheers,

The best thing about your blog is the content, you got some excellent content on your blog and it is regularly updated as well. Great work.

I just noticed one thing, your “read more links” on the front page ends with something like – “#more-13” which is not seo friendly. Try using some plugins like – “better read more” to make such links friendly.

To be honest, i don’t like your background “dull orange” color, but if you are ok with it and your readers are, then just stick with it.

keep it updated,

Firstly, lower the size of your title, make it – 5 to 8 words at max. Put the rest of the long title in the description field.

You are using the default theme, it is always a good idea to have a nice theme. I see that you have some nice content on your blog, so a good magazine style theme is suggested.

Try getting a custom logo, a brandable logo or header is the face of a blog, it helps build a brand out of your blog.

I see that you have added the facebook like button which is good, try adding a few more buttons like twitter etc. Also, make your facebook fan page and twitter profile and add them to the blog. Social media helps a lot in promoting a blog. Would also suggest you to use feedburner for your feeds.

overall, you have a good blog, keep it updated,
cheers,

Great looking theme, very nicely presented. The slider and the images are also looking good. I will suggest you to make a blog on a sub page and keep it updated with news and updates regarding your business. That way you will be able to generate more traffic and catch readership. Most people that have a business or service site keeps an updated blog on a subpage for the same reason.

cheers,

I see some very good content on your blog, the theme is simple and loads quickly. Nice use of social media buttons on your blog. Good to see that you are using feedburner and social profiles, even a youtube channel. All seems good.

Get a logo, it will help you to build a brand out of your blog.

I see that you are using adsense link unit, i would suggest you to use the 336*280 text only ads unit, in place of the link unit and the chitika ad, and see the difference in the CTR.

overall, you got an excellent blog,
keep it updated,
cheers,

i can’t find anything like that on your blog, can you please give me the exact location to find a link like that…

i checked through your blog but could not find any link that is not working… everything seems to be ok.

cheers,

Firstly, why use the word “scam” in the domain, it is a turn off for the potential buyer. I see that you have started writing some content which is excellent. But you need more articles.

Your theme is too simple, also missing out on a logo does not help much. I would suggest you to stop worrying about keywords at this stage and keep writing more articles. The more content you have, the more keywords you can target. Also, use facebook/twitter buttons, use social media to bring more traffic to your blog.

cheers,

Your blog looks very good, plenty of high quality content, you have chosen a good theme that looks clean and simple, also loads very quickly. I will just suggest you to get a better logo, something more brandable and catchy.

I see that you are having a google +1 button, so why not add the voting buttons of facebook and stumble upon as well, the static counterparts of them does not brings enough votes.

Also, for adsense and other ads, the best location is usually the large rectangular ad, placed just below the title and surrounded with content on all sides, try that for high CTR.

overall, it is an excellent blog, keep it updated,
cheers,
