The Hot Dog Truck revisited

Sometimes when we are busy looking for the next new thing to do, it is not a bad thing to look back and see what you did in the past. This blog has been through a lot of changes in design and emphasis and content and direction, yet I feel like taking a step back in time today and doing a review of another blog, something I haven't done for a long time (except where there was the lure of payment or a possible prize). I have become so 'sold out' that I have almost forgotten where I began. The PR changes will be turning the blogging world around and maybe that is no bad thing...

Today I revisited The HotDogMan, and am happy to report that he still has his PR4, not only that, but he has one of the most entertaining blogs that I have come across since I started blogging. Even those posts which may actually be...possibly...well.. in some way...sponsored... are just as entertaining as the stuff he 'dishes out' straight from his own thoughts and life in general.

After reading the tales from the HotDogTruck again, I am inspired once again to rethink the direction of munny4hunny, especially as there may be a dearth of chances to get paid to blog in the coming months.

Hat's off once again to the man who brings us laughter as he hands out the dogs, age-old wise advice as he fries the onions and the benefit of his vast experience as he lightly tosses a salad.

A review of 'Review My Blog'..

I am sure we are all aware that linking between websites is a major factor in website rankings and SEO in general. Blogs are of course, no exception and are in fact a lot easier to get links and reciprocal links for than a conventional site. Why is this? well simply put, we are all after the same thing, maximum exposure for minimum input and linking between blogs helps to achieve this. One of the most popular ways of linking is for blogs to offer reviews of other blogs much in the same vein as OurBlogReview, the brain-child of Greg Stratz.

Dango from Review My Blog has kindly reviewed two of my blogs, and like Greg, he is fully prepared to offer this service without a reciprocal link. But Hey - one good turn deserves another so I have cast my eye over his review blog. I first came across Dango when he started his free reviews blog - He has now had so many requests for blog reviews that he has started a new site just to carry the blog reviews. So far, only 5 reviews have been completed on this relatively new blog (but 2 of them are mine, so I'm very happy!!), there are a list of 16 pending reviews so plenty to keep Dango busy for a while.

The reviews are well-observed and well-written, the site is well laid-out and easy to navigate. Dango says he enjoys writing, so long may he continue - and if you would like your site or blog (or anything) reviewed, drop him a comment.
