Name of Site/Business: Adventures in Online Investing
Site's Main Purpose: Advertising (eg Banners, Google Adsense etc.)
Please Review the following:
Does the home page sufficiently convince people to go further into the site?
Does/can the site achieve its main purpose?
Navigation. Is it clear and easy to understand?
Appearance/Attractiveness
Typos and grammar
Search engine marketing. Can the pages be reasonably well indexed by search engines?
Additional Comments/Notes
Thanks for your help, I'm trying to review a lot of pages, so I would appreciate any feedback...

I can only comment on attractivenes and design. Im not qualified to answer the rest =).
First impression:
What is this ????
I loaded the site and saw adventures in online investing and a s**t load of banners and ads. That wanted me to get off asap.
As i dont understand anything of what the site is about i will not go further as an ordinary user.
Mayby you could add something more specific about what the site is about up there somewhere.
Navigation:
I looked and looked but couldnt se a navigation/menu anywhere before i started to scroll down and then i barely saw the links because its realy hard to se the light blue text over that background. Mayby try to add some sort of menu/navigation at the top of the site ? Im at 1280*1024 and had to scroll down to the links on the right side. Thats never a good thing.
Overall design:
Its a blog what can i say. I dont like em. I never have liked blogs at all. Thats just a personal preferance tho. All the blogs seam to be so lacking of design its silly. I like design. big honky images nice designs and verdana font hehehe....

I wasn't able to look at your profile or any of the comments since the site is down for maint. right now but a couple of comments.
I didn't see any pop-up adverts or such massive numbers that I wanted to leave immediately. And I don't really have a problem with a blog designed as yours is since it is meant to be read for comment. However, the fact that world_trance takes such a very different view means you might want to consider spiffing up the design a bit so that folks who like design will be happier and the rest of us will be comfortable. Not an easy job but worth some effort I think.
I think you really need 3-4 longer, content rich anchor articles written by you or by a guest expert and links on the main page to them.
I wonder about some of the links you do have. Investing is fairly serious even when you can write about it with humor so seeing links to a blog on gay marriage and South Park were a little off-putting to me personally.
In the source, you really need a meta description for each page just as you do with any web site.

How do I do this with blogger?

Sorry but never used their software so can't say for sure but their tech folks should be able to. There has to be a way for you to do it directly or for them to allow you to feed one into the code.
