Android Phone Tutorials, Tips and Tricks

Brand new. Please review it.

Nice blog vectro,

Great idea to get in to the droid thing now that it is all the rage. It sure does not hurt that S Jobs really screwed up the release of the new iPhonny

I like it Vectro. It looks good and clean I don't see anything I'd change off.

Looks typical blog to me. (I am not hating) I recently traded in my iPhone for the new Droid X and I personally have seen better template designs on other Android blogs/websites.

I don't think content is the issue at all. Your content is amazing and I actually read through some of your tutorials and found them very useful.

The design just needs to be more inspiring. And is it just me or is there an overload of Google ads? Template needs to be more edgy and less generic. That is my honest review.

The site is focused on the content.

The theme is a free one that I found. I spent 2 days searching around and this is the only Android WP theme I could find. If you know of a better one, please let me know. I wish I had design skills to spruce it up, but I'm more of a system administrator and content creator.

There are only max. 3 Google ads on on the home page with 2 links per ad. When more posts are added and displayed on the home page it should eventually look less cluttered. There is also only one ad displayed inline per post.

nice site)
i like the design, its informative and simple enough)

its ok but nothing special, has free basic template look.

Vectro, a $50 investment in a good template for WP would do you wonders in the long run. I bet once more readers are attracted by the new template, they will continue to keep reading thus boosting your income via the Google ads.

That alone will pay off the $50 you owe for the template. It might be even less if you look around or know a designer.

If the site becomes popular and profitable I'd buy a custom WP theme. For now the free one works and it has the Android logo on it.

As I have Android I'm interested in everything connected with it. So I will definitely read and look through this blog regularly.

I like the simplicity of the Blog and the dark blue colors good work. Not sure about the Google Ads but that decision is acceptable and differs from people to people.

Good Work.

They aren't even getting clicks. I just wonder how much they'll be worth if they do, considering I'm pushing a Google product here

The Google ads look to be too conflicting now that I look at it again. I think maybe you should consider placing it else where?

I removed my Google Ads after members on my host's forum said it looked ugly with my template and on top of that I was getting maybe 5 clicks a day TOPS.

I'll probably try changing the ads around. It might he hard to change the placement, because closer to the top receives more clicks. This is new though and doesn't yet have enough traffic to get many clicks.

I'd change the font color or luminosity of the "Subscribe to Our email Feed" box so that it does not appear to be grayed out. Otherwise I like the simplicity of the site. You have a good start with the articles. They are relevant and the content is appropriate for beginners or novice users.
