Review of adityaspeaks.com

Domain Name – Not really sure about the domain name. It’s short enough and has a unique sort of quality about it which is easy to the remember with the ’speaks’ part. But your name is sort of hard to remember for a European or American since we don’t see those sort of names over here much. So I mean maybe something less personal or more universally catchy would of been better.

Design – The design looks fine to me. It’s pretty clean which is good but maybe a little more of a graphic header to help stamp a brand on your site would help. Or even a better design on the domain name in the header if not a logo, just to help give your blog a better stand-out quality as apposed to just being ‘another blog’. I like the big subscribe button and the fact you focus on getting people to subscribe first rather than your own income. I really think that should be the primary focus with a blog until the subscriber base is up there. You don’t seem to get many comments for the amount of subscribers you have though so maybe a top commentators plugin somewhere to help entice comments.

Ads – Good ad placement on a whole, standard 468 banner up the top… a few 125’s in the side panel. The only thing I would suggest though is to get rid of the text link ads. You only have 116 subscribers at the moment, I think your absolute focus should be to make them happy and to keep them coming back and to get more. And although some people don’t mind text link ads, I think on such a relatively new blog it might do you more harm than good given that people may be led to believe your more interested in income than quality. Which, even if you are, they shouldn’t know.

Conclusion – In conclusion I’d say you have a pretty decent blog that just needs some tweaking. I would say a more lucrative looking design with a solid structure and professionally designed graphics would do you well. Also I would lose the text link ads and just absolutely make sure the layout and position of everything is to your visitors best interest to make sure they get the best out of your blog.
