Search Engine Marketing Man is Offering Free Nintendo Wii
Darin.cc is a home of Darin Carter a Search Engine Marketing man. Recently Darin Carter is offering to link anyone’s blog that review his blog
I think he’s a very active, and a lot of knowledge on various disciplines. Look at on his categories, he likes to discuss anything from movie, videos, gadget, hack, search engine, etc.
Layout
To be honest, the blog’s layout is very ‘common’, with gray and white color everywhere makes this blog not stand out of the blog crowd. Also, it makes this search engine marketing blog, seems .. shy .. contrastly with the ads, I believe Darin has put every ads he has to fulfill his space. Look, he put everything from Adsense (maximum allowable content ads - 3 per page), adbrite a big one (skyscrapper?), a big text link ad banner, reviewme and advolcano. I think this ads-everywhere layout that makes this blog not too professional.
The hover color (a red color) is the only color that makes it shiny, but I think it is not a good color for grey white harmony, you can see the biggest ever rss button too .. it’s great, but, not really needed.
From the seo perspective although I’m not a search engine optimization expert, I dont see anything special with this blog. It only has 10 backlinks (5 are inbound links), pagerank 2, and 198 pages are indexed by google.
I can’t find “Search Engine Marketing” or “Search Engine Marketing blog” that presumably is the main keyword of his blog, until page 10 on google search .. that’s not good either. Eventhough I haven’t tried Yahoo! or MSN.
Contents
The Pay Per Click Management is one of the post he made and became a series, he explained from organizing ppc account to navigate easily (Pay Per Click Management 1), keyword research (Pay Per Click Management 2) and the newest (Pay Per Click Management 3) about tips for writing advertisement.
Although participating to this review have a chance to win a Free Nintendo Wii, I do not think I will win the Nintendo Wii, the chance is very slim. I will not win head to head with JohnChow, that has been queuing on the forth row. Beside, my English is poor.
