Blog Review: Blog About Your Blog

Blog About Your Blog
http://blogaboutyourblog.com

Description of site:

As the title kind of implies this site allows fellow bloggers to blog about their blog. It is still early days for Blog About Your Blog, but the contributors so far have mainly come from the field of online money making.

Appearance:
One of the basic original Blogger templates. This particular specimen is white in colour, with side bar text links to the right of the main body.

Organisation:
N/A

Navigation and Functionality:
Sidebar links and blog archive.

Advertising:
Adbrite banner with network delivered ads at the top of the page. Assorted affiliate type advertising buttons are interweaved in the posts. There are a few blog directory and traffic exchange referral buttons on the sidebar.

Comments:
Blog About Your Blog is a brilliantly original idea. Like a lot of good ideas, it involves very little time and effort to maintain. The blog owner sits, waits for articles to arrive and then cuts and pastes the text into his template. A natural stroke of genius not unlike one of our previous reviews, Name That Tube. Blog About Your Blog will never run out of material to publish, and doesn't need to worry too much about the content of the articles. Furthermore, it's a self-propagating advertising machine - those who have had articles published feel obliged to link to them, which in turn spreads the word about this novel advertising source.

Unfortunately, as novel and resourceful as Blog About Your Blog is, it is still early days. This is reflected in the rating I award. The archive contains only a handful of articles all of which, naturally, have a strong bias toward the contributor's blog. I can imagine some readers being sceptical of the article contents. It is a solid idea and I’m sure this service will be in great demand in the future.
