Am actually not a UI person
I just took this job and didn't a quick brush up and I'm doing fine so far.

I'll figure it out soon and then the hustle begins

Thanks alot.
i will put those changes to effect.

i have been away from the internet in some days and i just saw this now.

i appreciate the review.

Copycracker:
Okay.

I've been away for a minute.

I humbly apologise to everyone out there who has been reading and expecting a review or a post from me on a topic (Fizzymidasquil, that means you).

I'm sorry.

The struggle is real in this time of change.

Make una no vex abeg.

Now, let's do this:

For today, I have something different in mind.

I'll be reviewing three different sites, all in one post.

I know I titled this "Simple, Short and Sweet" but fact is, I never really know how long a post is going to be till I start smacking my keyboard.

I will say this though. Get a chair and get comfortable because I have a lot to talk about.

Without further ado, let's begin.


1. Temolad blog - /M8 or temolad..com

I. First things first, I think you need to get rid of that "/M8" URL whatever that is.

A URL should give your visitor an idea of what your site is about.

I mean, on the surface, it seems spammy, like something those people trying to market a product (or offer you some "get rich quick" scheme) send you and tell you to click it.

Then it redirects to temolad..com.

It doesn't make sense. Get rid of it.

Of course, there are exceptions to this rule like "www.google.com".

But those are in situations where you're trying to build a brand around a name.

And if that's what you're trying to do, temolad..com offers you a better name.

Like me though, you still need to get hosting and get rid of that ..com extension.


II. Your tagline

Article "Plannet" World.

2 main issues:

One, "Plannet" is misspelled. The first thing your visitor sees on your site is a misspelled tagline.

That is doing you no favours.

Two, what exactly does Article Plannet world mean?

I mean, it sounds like a stockpile of random articles. It doesn't tell your reader that your site is for him, leaving him confused.

And you know what site visitors do if they get confused?

They either click the back button or the little 'x' at the right hand corner of your site tab in their browser.

Either way, you get no love.

Here's what you do- Get a better tagline that tells your visitor that your site is for him or not for him.

Not for him?

Yes, you read that right.

You can't please everyone, so you should figure out who your audience is and only write for them. Everybody else is secondary.


III. Simplicity.

Steve Jobs once said "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

I concur.

Once you scroll past that tagline, it becomes a bit more clear what your site is about. It seems like a cross between Lifehack (www.lifehack.org), Tiny Buddha (www.tinybuddha.com) and Dumb Little Man (www.dumblittleman.com).

While your site is not necessarily my cup of tea, I can see the idea behind it because I once had a blog in that niche.

I love how simple your site is to navigate through. It's not cluttered with confusing ads or pop-ups. To read a post, you simply scroll down and click on it.

Easy. Simple. I love that.


IV. Your About Page

While reading through it, I kept asking myself- "Who is Prof Temolad?" , " Why should I care?"

I looked through your Google + profile and you don't look like a Professor. So where is the Prof Temolad coming from?

I feel you're better off dropping the whole Prof Temolad act and just telling us a real story. You know, like who are you, what are your experiences and what inspired you to start writing the blog.

Like they always say, "Real recognise Real".

If you want real visitors that keep coming back for more and more, you have to be real.

And unless you have obtained some Ph.D or the highest level degree in a particular field (which you can show us), you are not a Professor.


V. Grammar and Spelling

Your posts have more than a few mistakes in either spelling or grammar.

Now, that is not enough to ruin your site, but it can slow things down a bit.

Of course, writing for the internet gives you more leeway to break a lot of typical grammatical rules, but there is absolutely no acceptable excuse to type "five fundamental fact" and forget about the 's' that shows that it's more than one fact you're going to write about.

You're obviously trying to appeal to an intelligent audience so you need to get this sorted out.

It's annoying having to correct your mistakes while we are reading. It slows down the reading, disturbs the flow, and makes us really question your "Professor-ship".


VI. Your big blocks of text

I think I have written a lot about this. And I can't seem to stress this enough.

Nobody reading online sees a huge block of text and goes: "Oh wow, I can't wait to read all that".

Well, maybe just the people who are really really interested in what you have written. Actually scratch that. Let's say maybe just people who know you will be on their case if they don't read what you have written.

Keep it down to two sentences a paragraph, with an occasional one sentence paragraph.

This makes your posts easier on the eyes for your readers.


VII. You are too liberal with Italics and Bold text.

Italics. Bold.

They're really cool. Really a good way to make your words look really interesting.

But just like with every good thing, too much of it can be bad... very very bad.

In your posts, the italics and bold filters were not the welcome distraction from the mundane text.

They became the mundane text!

Use it like a spice.

I mean salt is good, but if you put in wayyy too much salt in any soup, it will no longer be soup. It will be sea water.

Make sense?


Okay, there are still other issues like what your long term plan for your blog is, etcetera shmetcetera, but I feel you can take these things I've pointed out and make a few changes that will help your blog become better.



2. TechCorb (www.techcorb.com)

First of all, Tech Corb why?

I looked at your site a few weeks back and I was ready to write an awesome review because I felt you were doing an awesome job, but then you change it up to this?

I mean, the green layout and design was kicking more ass compared to this.

I know, I know.. I came late to the party, but damn, does that mean you should not remain cake for me?

The layout on this new site is just not it... as compared to the previous one.

I was really looking forward to writing a great review and pointing out the amazing things you were doing (and hopefully finding out who your website designer was) but then you had to go and ruin everything.

Whatever, let's talk about your new site.

I. The Color Scheme

Now, for most people who didn't see that green, elegant site you had before, this pale blue or off blue might seem cool.

But trust me, it isn't.

Your audience is gamers and techsavvy peeps. The pale blue is a bit dull. Go back to the green.


II. I love that you identified your niche (for the most part)

You picked out a target audience and you created content they will be interested in. That's Step One when you're trying to build a great blog.

Find what your target audience wants to know. Give them the info.

Awesome.


III. You need more content in that Reviews section.

I think this is pretty obvious. No need to explain further.


IV. Your Science and History Pages.

I don't really understand how those pages serve you.

You could make an argument for the Science page but the only article you have on there is about something that scientists find interesting.

Your audience is not really composed of the scientists that the article is for.

And the History page? Like really?

I mean, your site is not about history. It's about the present. It's about what is happening in tech and gaming right now. Either keep the History articles to a bare minimum or get rid of it.

You are not Wikipedia. Don't try to be.


V. That Find Us On Facebook "thing" at the right bottom half of your page.

That looks like it was a link that was supposed to take the visitor to your Facebook page... except it doesn't.

It's currently not even a link. As such, it serves no purpose.

Either link it to your facebook account or remove it and replace it with social media buttons.


VI. Your posts are actually at a good length considering gamers might not really have the time to pour through "textbooks" of text.

There was one I had beef with though- The Ghost Rider MOD one. It just seemed like you were not interested at all, or you just slept on your keyboard.

Don't just write for the sake of writing. Either put out great content, or don't put out anything.


VII. You could also offer tutorials, cracks and cheat codes for different games.

Now, as long as it's not illegal, I think this is a perfect way to attract more gamers to your site.

Get a sizeable following and you could easily come up with a product to sell to some of them that will make you a lot of $$$ easy.


I do believe you need to go back to that previous design with the awesome layout and all. As soon as possible.


3. TechNest-Nig (www.technestng.com)

First of all, great work!

You picked a niche and from what I see you have created content that spans over any and all things involving technology from mobile to startups and so on.

There are just a few issues I feel you need to address and you'll be golden.

I. Your title bar says "Bringing technology to live". That last word should be Life.

It's not a major dealbreaker but you should rectify that.


II. Your home page looks a bit crummy.

I'm not sure if that's the right word, but let's put it this way, you have way too much going on on your home page.

Every page is supposed to serve one purpose only.

Your home page is supposed to be like the entrance to your house.

Do you hang washed clothes, cook, sell akara, sleep and shit in front of your house?

I don't think so.

I'll point out these issues and how you can rectify them as we go on.


III. That space at the top of your page.

I don't know how you did it, but the ads you place there take up much more space than the title of your site.

Your site title is at the far left corner, barely noticeable and the ad stands out more.

Not a good look.

Change that. Try to put your site title in the center and make it a bit more prominent.

Also try to work your tagline in there.

It tells a visitor that needs info on tech that he or she is in the right place.

And the ad.. if you can't completely get rid of it, make it smaller in comparison.


IV. Your left sidebar.

(a) the newsletter widget

I feel you could better display that, but not in the left sidebar. Make it a pop-up message that says something like:

" You don't have to be left out anymore. Sign up for our newsletter and Get updates on the latest in tech"

and then underneath, have a button that says "Yes, I want those updates" and then another that says "No, I prefer to remain ignorant" or "No, I would rather be a JJC"

Then when people click on the Yes button, it should then link to the sign up form that should just have two fields: One for the Name and the other for the email address.

(b) You don't have to repeat the "Follow on instagram" thing when you already have "Follow:" with the symbols of the different social media accounts.

(c) That " Answer it quick" game and the other pic below it serve no purpose ... except pissing visitors like me off.

Get rid of it.

(d) New year was a month ago. You can retire the Happy New Year banner now.


(V) Your right sidebar

That place is basically begging to be arranged. like for realllll.

(a) The Google badge should come lower down the page. Preferably after the rest of the things there.

(b) It's a cool design you have there for arranging your posts and all, but it's not really intuitive.

I mean when I first saw that, I didn't know what it was.

I wasn't even interested in clicking on it.

I feel you're better off just arranging them as follows:

- 2-3 recent posts
- Popular posts
- Categories

Easy peasy


(c) No need to have MORE written at the top. Put "Search" there instead.

When we see More there we are stuck trying to figure out "More what?"

Search, at least, will tell us we can search for things there.


VI. Don't let your page suffer from "Adson's disease)

Yes, I totally just coined that phrase.

You have ads up and I can see they are about tech. Please ensure it stays that way.

It's easier to sell bibles to Christians than it is to sell pork to Muslims.

Get it?

I hope you do because your site looks like it is doing great already and it's only going to get better than great.



Okay, I know I said Simple, Short and Sweet and this looks like a 3 hour read.

For that, I'm sorry... or not.

I write it as I think it.

And sometimes things get a bit longer than I even know when I start writing the post. Feel free to comment, point out any things I missed, etcetera shmetcetera.

Now, lemme go and get a midnight snack.

Happy Hustling!

Thank you my brother.
Personally, I feel the pay isn't so good. but it's better than being idle.
You know, you don't just land a dream job with a good pay. you move from job to job until u come in contact with the job you so desire.

asalimpo:
Dyu have to insult him? You couldav been more constructive. What is the average salary like for some1 with his skills and experience? How can he negotiate better? that wouldav helped.
#Nigerian mentality - abuse and insult at the slightest instance.

Glo Unlimited Free Browsing – With Stark VPN you can browse using the Glo Unlimited Free browsing, The Glo free browsing is no longer a new stuff as it has gone viral and can be used from anywhere, what amazes me is that Glo network seems not to be bothered by this and it could be attributed to their poor network in most areas.
So if you are lucky enough to be in an area with a good network connectivity my dear you are on the top of the world as this tweak is unlimited meaning you can download Nigeria as a whole because it is available 24/7 non-stop. Maybe until Glo stands up raising a staff shouting “ENOUGH”.

Good thing you pointed that out! That why we need people like you to put us through.

Thanks for reading and commenting on this trend/post

angels09:
any list without xiaomi phones is rubbish
mere xiaomi redmi 2 has 4G @23k! can you beat that? .... stop making rubbish lists

I just couldn't ignore this cus I wanted acting as a gentleman but who that wan epp?

First of all, I admit Xiaomi makes nice phone, but Xiaomi Redmi 2 making my list, Comeon you cant be seriously advising anyone to get that phone.

Reasons you cant compare Xiaomi Redmi 2 to my any phone in my list are:
1. Redmi 2 was launched in August 2015
2. OS v4.4.4 (KitKat) not upgradeable
3. You cant find it at the price of 23k, recession hit everything so buying a phone with dat specs for 30k why no buy something better.
4. Processor speed 1.2GHz which is slow as compared to phones on my list that have the minimum of 1.3GHz which makes a huge difference
Lastly please dont call my list Rubbish cus i know the amount of effort i used in compiling this.

sounds interesting...but what is it for the partner??

This is not a job vacancy per say but contact me if you're interested

Hello,
I am in need of a blogging partner for a 3-month-old tech blog already with an approved Google Adsense account. you can find the blog with the url http://technestng.com. If you have knowledge of SEO, and can help the blog gain good rank and can also write in the following categories; tech, mobile phone reviews, tech startups, entertainment. Let's discuss if you are interested.

Please review my blog also http://technestng.com.

Copycracker:
Okay.

I usually don't do this, but well, never say never.

By the way, I'm not some expert reviewer of sites so you might still want to get a pro to do this for you.

Let's begin either way.

First of all, I think it's great that you took action and launched your blog. That's amazing and I commend you for that.

That being said, I'm not really a fan of what you have done with your site so far. There are way too many issues with it superficially that I didn't even bother taking a deep look.

But I'll mention the issues I noticed and offer some solutions to them.

And well, I don't know if you wanted a private review or something but I figure this review might attract traffic to your site, or maybe not. But either way it's worth a shot.

I apologize in advance if you are offended that I made this a stand-alone post.

So let's talk about www.9jaboizgist.com.ng.

Here are a few issues I noticed.

A. Branding

1. Your URL is mismatched with your content.

With the "9jaboizgist" in the URL, things get a bit confusing when we arrive at your site and we don't really see anything related to gist.

I mean, most people who read that URL will naturally expect to see something related to celebrity gist or rumors when they open your site.

Abi, people, am I lying?

Now, that URL will attract people looking for gist. When they get to your site and see something entirely different, a large number of them will hit the back button.

I'm not saying some people won't stick around but I'm just saying a large number of the people visiting your site would be expecting something else (like I was) and when they don't see what they want, they'll leave.

It's like going into a shop and not finding what you are looking for. Will you stick around?

Exactly.

I can't see your analytics or anything but from where I'm sitting, that is a real issue.

It's like your URL tricks them into clicking and then when they click, they realize it's been a trick.

That is definitely going to piss a lot of people off faster than imagining OBJ giving them a lapdance would.

Solution: You have to either change your URL or change your content. I suggest the former because looking at your blog, you have already created a ton of content that would just be annoying to have to change that.


2. Your tagline is way too broad

"9jaboizgist get you updated on latest technology,business, mobile phone, mobile app,Mobile Review, tariff plan, MTN, Glo, Airtel, Etisalat data."

That's a whole lot of niches.

I get the whole "not limiting yourself to one sector" thing but damnnn, that's a whole lot of super sectors with sectors underneath them that in turn have a lot of sub sectors with micro-mini sectors underneath them.

If you focus on latest tech, you could write about tech involving computers, phones, Google's self driving cars, and you will still have a lot of topics to write about.

If you're talking about Mobile reviews, you could review iPhones, Samsung phones, etcetera shmetcetera. There's a lot of options and info to provide under this one super sector.

This, combined with the URL, will definitely confuse your visitors more. Because they can't easily figure out what your site is about.

Plus it also makes it hard for Google's non-English speaking web crawlers to crawl and properly index your page.

Solution: Pick one of those "super sector" and then broaden your horizons within that niche. It is not cool to post about "5 Tips for Crafting Engaging Content For the Web" one day and then the next, "Some Amazing Facts About Apple". So figure out what exactly you want to write about and change the tagline to suit that.


3. You need to find your winning difference.

In the words of D'Prince: "What's your selling point?"

Looking through your profile, there's no clear cut difference that makes your blog different from many of the other news type sites on the web.

Most of your articles read like they were culled directly from a news site. From the introductory aspect of the article, to the paragraph structure, when I look through, I feel like I'm reading a news site.

Except initially I thought it was going to be either a site for men, or a celebrity gist entertainment type site, then found out it's going to be about tech, and then I now feel like I'm reading news.

News, which I can get from any other site on the web.

So why should I pick yours?

Solution: Find your edge. Make your content more personable and write in your own words. Write like you speak. Exactly like you speak, then proofread for grammar and spelling errors. But by all means, find your voice. Make your content unique.


Site Issues

1. Your page URLs

Your About Us page URL is : " http://www.9jaboizgist.com.ng/p/9jaboizgist-get-you-updated-on-latest.html"

and Your Contact Us page URL is "http://www.9jaboizgist.com.ng/p/blog-page.html"

Need I say more or will you fix that already?


2. Your Ad placement.

I get that you want to make $$$ with AdSense but way too many ads makes it way too obvious. The Ads below the menu tabs on your homepage are not doing you any favours.

Those ads take up space that could be better used to display content.

Most people will bounce if they think your site is just about Ads.

Move the ads below the menu and try to reduce the number of ads you have on there and try to display ads for products that are within your niche (when you decide on one). That way, Your ad is more likely to get more clicks.

3. Arrangement

I don't know how to put this, but there's too much going on on your pages. Especially in that right side bar section.

It's really confusing trying to decide whether to follow you on Facebook or Twitter or click that Konga ad, or read one of your few hundred posts, and when it comes to them, I don't even know where to start.

When your visitor cannot figure out where to start from, he won't.

He'll just leave.

Your posts should be arranged into different sections based on the topics. One could be like Latest Tech, another could be Phones, and another MTN Data. You should use those article labels to classify your articles.

And the Site Map section wasn't really helpful. It's just a list of all your articles.

I think you should instead title that section "New? Start Here" and then when your visitor clicks on that site, he should get a list of your articles arranged under different sections and maybe even a section with articles for Newcomers.


Content

1. Your Headlines are not engaging enough

Well, it starts with the whole blog not being tied to a particular niche and all, but your headlines don't have an emotional hook- something that will engage a visitor passing through and make them want to read it.

Fix this by figuring out who your target audience is, what their problems are and then use your headline to communicate that the article is the solution.

I will go into that in another post, but for now, look at your headlines through the eyes of your audience. Find what they are searching for online and offer a solution.

2. Your paragraph spacing.

You write in blocks of paragraphs. Considering our "everly" decreasing attention span, visitors are not likely to read the huge blocks of sentences.

Try to split your paragraphs and have two sentences per paragraph and then sometimes just one sentence.

This will make reading your content easier.

3. Find your unique voice.

I mentioned this earlier, but I need to reiterate this.

Your blog for now reads like a news site. You need to write in a way that communicates your ideas to your audience in your own unique way.

Develop your own unique way of writing and then your audience will come back to read your articles not just for the information, but because of how you communicate them.


There are more issues like your SEO and all, but for now, these will have to suffice as I have been working on this all night and right now, I'm tired.

True Story.

P.S. I'm not an expert reviewer or anything, so feel free to discard this info if you think I'm just full of sh*t. But if you use this info, you can improve your blog a lot.

Now, let me get ready for work.
