Comment for a Review

Update 2008-03-26: The comments and pings are now closed. Any future blog review requests should be submitted on the "Request A Blog Review" page.

It's quite simple really. Leave me a comment saying which blog you would like me to review and I'll do it. You don't need to link back to me or anything like that (unless you want to do so). You can also leave a comment at the end of an existing review, instead of in the comments here.

I will accept invitations for blog reviews from comments, email and other sources. I just have to know about the invitations. The key here is: You are under no obligation to do anything for me in return.

As far as the content of a particular review is concerned, I reserve the right to write in a negative tone as well as positive and neutral. If you want an honest review, an honest review is what you're going to get. If you don't want an honest review, don't ask for a review from me.

I'm not a professional writer, reviewer, or anything of that sort. I promise that I'll do my best to write a thorough, yet brief, review. I have no problem writing reviews of 200 words or more, unless there isn't much to write about. Unlike paid reviews, I won't "nitpick" at every detail on your blog.

My daily goal is to do at least three blog reviews, in the order that I receive the invitations to do them. If I get backlogged because of the number of invitations, I'll do more.

Please note that I will NOT review a blog that I find personally offensive or a blog that looks like it has spent all of its time scraping the contents of other blogs.

(Update 2007-08-21: If you have more than one blog to review, I'll do one of them and put the others at the end of the "queue". I want to do one blog per person before doing multiple blogs. It still shouldn't be that long of a wait.)

    Hey RT,

    I'd love a review of cymru66.com

    Thanks for the great offer!

  2. maurizio says:

    Hi, you can review mine. Again.
    I think you reviewed it loong time ago.
    I need to change something on it. I don't get enough returning visitors :-)

  3. Jay Thompson says:

    Do the PhoenixRealEstateGuy.com, pretty please!

    What a great offer… :shock:

  4. Chris Lodge says:

    You may just regret offering this, with the volume it will generate! :grin:

    I would really value your feedback on Blog-Op, because I know it needs something (apart from a different author). I'm just not quite sure what.

    • I thought about the volume and still decided to do it. I don't care if I'm backlogged for days. It will help me stay focused on what I want to do.

      I don't know why you think Blog-Op needs something "apart from a different author". You do a very good job with it.

      You're now on my review list! :mrgreen:

    • Okay, Blog-Op has been reviewed! It's longer than I anticipated.

    Hey RT, I was really glad when you reviewed ShanKri-la back in June and provided valuable input. ShanKri-la has been evolving and I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

    Thanks for the offer and love the new direcion UV has taken. :razz:

  7. pearl says:

    Wow… I don't want to be left out of this one RT…Would you please review mine? thank you!!

  9. Alexandru says:

    I'd love an honest review when you got the chance RT :) . No point sugar coating it if you see something you don't like.

    Hi,
    Me again, just left you a stumbling request too.
    Could you review my blog? I already know it would me mostly negative…so don't hold back. New at this…but getting more and more involved with it.

    You def. deserve very high traffic…your opinions are very helpful in many aspects of blogging.

    http://mrich.net/

    Thanks

  13. Please note that the only reason I'm behind on any of these is because my DSL connection is crap right now. It took me two hours to publish the last review. It sucks to be enslaved to the only ISP available.

  14. [...] RT is offering reviews to anyone that asks, and as you can see by reading my review, it's no soft-soap love-in, [...]

  15. Hi RT,

    I'd be very grateful for a review of scratch99.com if you get the chance (and if your DSL is behaving!). There are several big problems I know about (Don't post often enough, not posting on my blog's stated topic), but I'm sure there's other problems and I'd value your input.

    Thanks.

    • Okay, I have you on the list. Don't be too hard on yourself. It'll come together.

    • Your review is done. It's not that bad.

      • Thank you very much for the review (and it was was pretty good thanks – I'll take being compared to you as a big compliment)

        Good point about the feed autodiscovery. I hadn't thought of that. I'll have a look into sometime – but if you find out anything useful first, please let me know. And I'm looking forward to your plugin. Yes, my theme is just an alteration of the default.

        I just knew you were going to get me for the contact details – I promise I'll add it sooner or later! :smile: I just haven't gotten around to sorting out the antispam measure.

  16. OK, I'll play along! :grin:

    And congrats on following through on this idea so far. It's a very good way of building a rep, if you can put in the time (As you have been. :D )

    • Hi Michael,

      I have you as number 8 in the queue right now. I'm doing two to three a day, so it'll be a couple of days… unless I get a wild hair up my arse and decide to do more at one time.

      You may not have noticed but I changed my blogging focus on August 13th. I'm going to write some more about things related to that later on.

    • This blog review is done.

    Hey, this is a great idea. With so many people offering a review for a linkback you'll stand out by offering one for "free".

    Hi, RT. How's life? Have been putting this off for ages but here goes. Kindly look into my site when you have the time. Suggestions most welcome and criticism will be taken in the spirit in which it was intended. Have commented a few days ago, could i have been caught in your spam filters? Left 2 comment on a blog some days ago, first one went through but when i posted a reply i was told i was from a suspicious address. That hasn't happened to me before. Thanks.

    • Sorry about my delay in responding. I'm getting started on your review now. No legitimate comments have been filtered out. I use the "Simple Spam Filter" which would tell you if you used a common spam word, but that's it. You wouldn't get any kind of "suspicious address" response from this blog.

    A review would be wonderful. After ditching my blogspot blog for Wordpress on my own domain I am trying to bring the new blog back up to where the old one was. Thankfully I have a small group of loyal readers who followed me to my new home but to be honest losing pagerank and my place in top 100 Australian blogs etc has dented my pride a bit.

  63. Rome says:

    Hi RT, I am new at blogging and I wanted someone to tell me how I am currently doing. It would be nice to get reviewed and I wouldn't mind having a negative one. I have a feeling it would be like that. :)
