In-Depth Review




Site Name: Geeks Hut
Site Type: Technology
Age: 9 months




The overall appearance of your blog is very clean, sleek and modern. Nothing seems out of place. One suggestion for the overall blog would to add some color somewhere, such as the navigation, so that the banner does not have to carry to load of being the colorful aspect of the style. The text color for the "Latest Reviews" and "Most Recent Articles" is very lacking in definitions. A ghost white text color, I believe, would complement the grey very nicely. The drop downs on the menu are very sleek and flow well with the rest of the style. A couple suggestions though are to reduce the delay in the drop down from appearing and add something to the top of the drop down to better show relation to the main menu item that it belongs to.

You boast 1,233 articles. This is an amazing amount of articles for only being open 9 months. From the articles that I have read (over 20 so far), you and your team have amazing grammar, spelling and punctuation. We have no suggestions for your content other then keep up what you are doing!

The first impression is that your blog is very sleek and modern, as stated above. The first thing that is noticed is the banner. It is very well designed and fits the style very well. The other off-putting thing about the banner is the orange. It kind of sticks out since there is nothing else orange in the styles colors. The recent articles slider is a very nice touch and makes me want to read those articles more. The "Popular Posts" box is sort of off putting as the text feels a jumbled and hard to read. This could be corrected by adding separators (lines) between articles or change the coloring of the poster and date information.

Your SEO is very good for the age of your blog. You have a Google PageRank of 2 and an Alexa rank of 643,246 with 116 sites linking in. This is very good for being open for only 9 months. Your search traffic is increasing dramatically, considering the big names like Apple, Samsung and Amazon, that you are going up against. Whatever you are doing is working and you need to keep it up and expand even further with the help of different link directories and affiliations with other tech related websites and blogs.



Words from the Reviewer

You have an overall amazing blog. There are a few areas that could be improved upon, such as the headings of some of the sections, some minor formatting on the "Popular Posts" box and adding some more color to the overall theme. You are in a very hard niche to succeed in and are doing great so far. Keep up the work and we wish you the best of luck!

No it wasn't?

I won SOTM, I thought you got one with that. I also thought I had put that in the topic, but seems I hasn't. Don't worry, you can keep the cash I guess (since I didn't put it in the topic).
