Blog Review: adformula


adformula

http://adformula.blogspot.com

Description of site:
A collection of posts vaguely related to advertising.

Appearance:
Very, very basic monotone template. Page elements in no particular order.

Organisation:
Very poorly organised. Blog archive positioned at foot of page well away from main content. No use of a sidebar.

Navigation and Functionality:
Very basic. Links and blog archive located at bottom of page.

Advertising:
Google AdSense in various positions. No effort has been made to blend the ads to the underlying page background. Quite often the ads are obtrusive and distracting.

Comments:

We go from one extreme to the other in today’s reviews. This site is absolutely diabolical – there is no other word for it. The first thing that hits you is that the most boring template ever, a delightful snot green monotone, has been used. After only 5 seconds of reading you realise the posts are off-subject, poorly written and full of grammatical errors. No consideration has been given to the position of page elements – a classic example is the archive list right down at the bottom of the page, miles away from any post content. The author has also gone way overboard with the advertising – AdSense all over the place, none of which is blended. As if things aren’t bad enough already my eyes get sore from trying to read the unequal length lines of text. God knows how it managed to get a PageRank of 4 - the author must be spamming forums and message boards all over the place. I’d confine this blog to the recycle bin to put it out of its misery.

We don't need you to authorise us to do a review! Presumably your site is online for the entire world to see and comment on. Sorry we've struck a chord with our review, but honesty is the best policy!
