I’ve been reading OpTempo.com eversince I learned about it on BloggingZoom.com. The site is packed with useful information on blogging, and Frank - the author - writes using an “easy-to-read” approach at the same time displaying his credibility on the subjects he usually talks about.
During that time, I also learned that he does blog reviews for FREE. Knowing that Frank writes a fair and objective analysis, I decided to sign up for this free service. I also felt it was necessary to let someone with blogging experience outside my immediate connection to take a look at this site and provide an objective opinion.
However, since this is a free service, I had to fall in line and wait. It was a long list, but I felt it was worth the wait.
Couple of months later, PlanetSaedel has been finally featured on OpTempo.com.
Frank categorized his review in to two parts: Site Design/Theme and Content; it was concluded in Overall evaluation. Below is a snippet of his review:
“… The WordPress theme is a simple, two column right side bar, design with a custom logo graphic built around the K2 theme. It’s minimalist but looks good….Planet Saedel covers a lot of topics, sort of like OpTempo does in a way… Planet Saedel is an enjoyable personal blog with some interesting observations. I didn’t see anything of significance that should be changed…. ”
I am encouraging you to visit Blog Review: Planet Saedel for full details of Frank’s assessment of my blog. Then let me know what you think about Frank’s review.
I would like to thank Frank for taking time to go around PlanetSaedel. He even dug deep into my archives to look for old topics to review.
If you are a personal or professional blogger (or an aspiring one), don’t miss the chance to get your site reviewed. (Paid blog reviews range from $5 - $450). It’s a win-win situation: you learn, improve, and get promoted. On the other hand, the reviewer gains credibility, a link back to his site, and potential readers coming from his reviewee.
Quick question:
If I ask you to review this site, what would you say about it based on design and content?

I think the design is clean and uncluttered. Would see no reason to change this. Content is interesting and geared to the average reader. Even the computer knowledge which I realize must be extensive is put in terms the non-technical reader can understand.
A blog worth coming back to.
What’s goin’ on Saedel.
I think your blog is great too my friend and it is good that you got such great reviews; it would kinda be hard not to ya know.
Surprisingly you and I came in contact via BlogRush, which I no longer have on my blog, because the widget and the service is a plain joke! I definitely had to get rid of it after reading your disdain for the service and then I got to thinking just how the service lacks any real benefits. Needless to say, I owe that revelation to you homeboy!
But I gotta get outta here, I just wanted to stop by and show some love like you always do for me. Great stuff and keep up the good work and I will see you at the top.

Try EntreCard, it will increase traffic. 
Thanks for your review! I like it. How can you manage to say a lot with few words? I think you have a knack for doing reviews.

Hey Bro, nothing much… just working. Thanks for the kind words. It’s ironic that we connected via BlogRush, and yet we both ditched it!
Yes, Frank does good honest reviews without costing you an arm and a leg.
Hi, Mark, good to see you here. Yup, I agree with you. He tells it as it is in a calm manner.
