Review of “William Payton’s Blog”
This is a review of William Payton’s Blog.
First I would like to point out the positive things about this blog since they are so few things I can find right about it.
The blog loads fast and the image at the top is nice, very peaceful.
Now, for the rest.
1. Why is it called “William Payton’s Blog?” Are you famous, William? Should we know you by name, or do you have a lot of friends and/or family who log on to read what you have to say? If not I see no real reason to have given your blog your own name. A blog should have a purpose, a focus, a theme, and everything it contains should be in relationship to the blog, which brings me to my next point.
2. It looks to me like this blog is basically being used to get people to check out resell rights. There are seven posts on the page and two are personal, one about the weather and one saying goodnight in the middle of the afternoon.
This is the total content of one post, “Limited Number Of Master Reprint Rights Now Available To “Blog & Ping Automator”!, (by the way, the comma goes inside the parenthesis) and you cannot click on the title, nor is there a link to what you are selling in the post. Same thing with this post:
“Own Your Risk Free Business
Here’s what you get when you order the resale rights package…
* The rights to sell Blog & Ping Automator at any price you want over $ 97
* You can sell unlimited copies, and keep 100% of the Profit.
* A certificate Proving your right to re-sell Blog & Ping Automator
* Free updates to Blog & Ping Automator software forever, and resale rights to the updates as well.
* You will receive all the sources we use to bring traffic to our sites to sell our Products on the internet, and all the new sources as we come across them.
* Your own copy of Blog & Ping Automator to read for your own use or to sell memberships to
* A copy of Blog & Ping Automator web site’s Proven sales letter, all the graphics, and thank you pages so you can upload them to your web space and be reselling the software in minutes after your purchase.”
What good is it doing to try and sell this stuff if the reader can’t find what you are selling? (The information is in another post, but if a post were found by a search engine, chances are the reader wouldn’t bother checking out the rest of the blog. They’d find the information they needed somewhere else.)
Also, if you are going to plug something you could at least make the post before the sales pitch post and after it longer and at least interesting. OR maybe this blog is all about Google? I’m frankly lost.
3. Where are the archives? The first thing I want to know when visiting a new blog is how long its been around. I cannot find this information. And why is there a link to Google News?
4. The ABOUT section says, “Later OK!” How much later, William? Sure, you have your handsome mug there, that’s a good thing, but your readers want to know about you, who you are, what you do, the focus of your blog–I guess you wouldn’t want to say, “to plug resell rights” so maybe you have the right idea. But take the picture off. Why would we want to look at you if we don’t know anything about you? Or for that matter, concerning one of your record breaking short posts, who really wants to know what the temperature is if we don’t know where you are?
In conclusion, William, I see that you are new to blogging, so if I have been too harsh please forgive me. Just remember, you want your readers to come back, to pass on the link to your blog to others, to get excited about the wealth of information you offer or the interesting things you have to say. Good luck to you with your blogging future!
