Review: BloggerNoob


It seems most people that start a Web site or blog attempt to make money in some form from their endeavour. I for one have a few money making items on Technically Easy, so I fall into that category.
There are many new blogs that have started up with the main focus being making money online. This week’s review focuses on one of those blogs. This week I review a relatively new-comer to the “make money online” arena called BloggerNoob.

Web Site: BloggerNoob
Description: How a bloggernoob tries to make money online with his blog.

Design Review: BloggerNoob

The design of BloggerNoob features the content on the left and two sidebars on the right. The sidebars, as you can probably guess, hare filled with ads above the fold, and then the navigational links following the ads. I’m not a big fan of this style, since I feel that the author attempts to push the ads on each visitor that arrives to the blog. This is one of pitfalls for visiting a “make money online” blog.
There is, however, a menu bar at the top of the blog that can be used for navigating, although not through the posts. There is a slight problem with the menu. If you highlight an item that contains a submenu, such as “About Us”, drag your cursor over a submenu item and then move the cursor back to the blog, the submenu will stay on the screen. If you do this with all submenus, you can have them all open on the screen.
There really isn’t a whole lot of information provided in the links regarding the blog, such as links to the posts. Most links are more for information purposes.
As I mentioned above, the actual navigational links are down the pages in the right sidebars. The sections in the sidebars are neatly laid out and well defined. This makes it easy to find and read the links for navigating. There are many categories, however, that could be consolidated into fewer, more easily readable categories.
As with many of the new blog designs, the footer contains additional blog information, such as the “About Me” and “Archives” sections. It’s nice to have that there so it doesn’t clutter up the sidebars with less essential information.
The design of the blog overall is what I would expect from a “make money online” blog: lots of ads in the sidebar, followed by the navigational links. I’m not a big fan of this concept, but to each their own.

Focus Review: BloggerNoob

The whole focus of the blog is making money, nothing more and nothing less. For the most part, the focus is well kept throughout the posts.
As you visit the blog and read through the posts, you can definitely tell that this blog is geared towards money making because of the posts titles, and the ads on the right.

Content Review: BloggerNoob

The content on BloggerNoob is what you would expect from “make money online” blogs. There are, however, a few things that are unique about this blog.
On BloggerNoob, the author occasionally runs contests in which the winner of the contest usually wins some amount of cash. The contests that are run on BloggerNoob are usually creative and appears to get many applicants. If you are not sure how giving away money can make you money, then you just need to think about traffic. To make money you need traffic, and to get traffic you need something interesting to entice people to visit. On BloggerNoob, this is in the form of contests.
The other thing that makes this blog unique is the images the author has chosen for each post. Knowing that “sex sells”, the images that accompany each post are of attractive women. When I first visited the blog, I wasn’t sure how the pictures fit with the niche, but it does make it stand out. The pictures also seem more geared toward menu than women.
Besides the contests and pictures, much of the content is geared towards making money. The author provides a status update on their profits, as well as provides tips on how you can make money as well. Some of the tips, however, can be found on other blogs or Web sites.

Spelling and Grammar Review: BloggerNoob

There are very few spelling and grammar issues on BloggerNoob. The one mistake that I noticed in the posts is the fact that the author doesn’t use capital letters in the posts. For example, the word “I” is written as “i” in a sentence, when it should be capitalized.
Besides the lack of capitalization in sentences, the posts are still well-written and easy to read.

Overall Review: BloggerNoob

I’m not a huge fan of money making blogs as I feel they are all pretty much the same – lots of ads and similar content. The author of BloggerNoob has added a few unique features to the blog such as contests and the unique idea behind the pictures.
The writing style of BloggerNoob is easy to read and does keep you entertained.
