Blog Review - The Computer Brother

The Computer Brother is one of my clients.

I started his blog for him, added both the adsense and auction bid coding and I then let him loose on his blog! As you will see from viewing his blog, you will see that he is very passionate about his blog's subject which is computers and computer repair - one might tend to say that maybe he's almost too passionate about his subject matter because he does have a number of very long posts.

Sometimes I think passion can be a good thing. With all the number of spam blogs and blogs that don't provide a lot of content, its refreshing to see a blog that is written by someone who cares about the subject that they are blogging about. (I also hope that this encourages other people who want to start their own blog but don't think their topic is worth blogging about). I also believes that the passion that is shown in his blogging is one of the reasons why his blog has gotten comments (which you can see on the side of his blog). He has also been corresponding with others that have read his blog and have questions or just general comments.

• Never underestimate how far-reaching your blog can be!


• Never underestimate who your blog could "touch" in one way or another!

Unfortunately the "look" of his blog is uneven because while he does have a lot of content in his blog posts that leaves a lot of empty space on the side of his blog - so I will be working with him as a continual client to help fill in the empty spaces.

There are a lot of add-ons and widgets that one can add to their blog but it would be most beneficial if those add-ons related to the blog itself. So while this may be a slow process it is better to add things that are related to one's blog then just to put something on there to fill in the void.

Client - The Computer Brother - Step 2 - Enhancing The Blog

The 2nd step for The Computer Brother's Blog is to enhance the blog with more content on the side.

A new affiliate has been added besides adsense. This new affiliate is Auction Ads which is an affiliate program that lists current items up for bid on Ebay.

Unlike adsense, Auction Ads do not crawl a site for content. Instead you have to enter keywords to use as a basis for the kind of auction items that you want listed on your blog or website. In The Computer Brother's Blog that would mean items that have to do with computers and computer repairs.

Another very important thing that you will notice is that the auction ads layout is completely different from the layout and color scheme that the adsense ads use. This is very important because while adsense does allow for you to put other advertisers on your site or blog you have to make sure that these additional ads do not have the same layout and look as the adsense ads! If they both have the same look then it is a violation of adsense's terms of service which is grounds for the termination of one's adsense account.

Client - The Computer Brother - Step 1 - Starting A Blog

The Computer Brother is one of my clients.

The first order of business was to create a blog for The Computer Brother. He didn't know anything about blogs really but when he found out that there was a way to earn money with his blog he decided to give it a try. Of course since he didn't know anything about how to create a blog, I created a blog for him. I am also a guest contributing writer for his blog as well. While I have created his blog he is still able to create and write his own entries to his blog.

The Computer Brother's blog is about his interest in computers. And if you take a look at his blog you will see that he really, really does have an interest in computers. He also does computer repairs and this will also be the subject of his blog. As the days go by and he becomes more familiar with adding entries to his blog the more comfortable he will be with his blog.

Except for some basic editing what you see on his blog is the work that he put into it. He does have a way to go but taking the journey is part of the fun.
