I was wondering if you guys could take a quick look at a few of my blogs and let me know if I'm doing anything wrong, or could improve on. I'm fairly new to internet marketing and just wanted a few tips. I also own a motorcycle forum thats been running for about a year now with just over 160 members that I'm dong some changes to, if you'd like to check that out it is listed in my sig.

    Hey Skinnye,

    To be quite honest with you, your investor blog might be more interesting to first-time investors if you had some sort of education/trading plan that you were following and posting results - your portfolio, returns, etc. - rather than just writing a few paragraphs.

    Frankly, to say that "the price will eventually come back up again" is really just bad advice, IMHO. Of course, you state right after that that no one should make investing decisions based on your blog ;-)

    Anyway, I didn't mean to slam you right up front, I just wanted to make the point that it's kind of obvious to me that your motorcycle forum you've been running has more of your passion in it - and quite a bit of activity in the forum, I must say!

    I would recommend focusing more on that activity - searching blog posts for potential information products - the best scenic rides in the U.S., perhaps? On a side note, your blog post about the "dragon" would be nice with some more photos in it - that's what would really draw me into your blogging.

    Somehow, I think you've got the beginning of a little gold mine in that motorcycle forum.

    That's my $0.02.

    Bill

    What exactly is your goal for these blogs?

    Will you be flipping them, or building a list, or maximizing Adsense/Clickbank/CPA revenue?

    About your theme...you should consider looking for a theme that suits your particular niche. The best place to look for free themes is here:
    WordPress › WordPress Themes

    If you have the funds (and depending on what your intentions are for your blogs), you might also consider getting a premium theme.

    My primary goal is for adsense revenue with the blogs

    I have more of a passion for motorcycles and mechanics(I'm an auto mechanic) Its what I know. I wanted to add more pictures to the motorcycle blog but due to it being on blogspot I could not find an attractive outline to do so, I may move the blogs and use wordpress instead since it does have more options.

    Thanks for the advice so far, I don't mind criticism at all either.
