Internet Branding Critique of Gammonish.com and You!
As part of our new Theme of Internet Branding here at EmpowerWomenNow.com,we will be running Internet Branding Critiques of various websites and blogs. You may hire me, Ponn Sabra, directly through SponosoredReviews.com. At this price range you will receive a full-critique with a minimum of 500-words, and broken down into every single category stated in our Introductory post. However, you can contact me with your own personal budget and I can customize a shorter, less-detailed review; such as the one I am conducting today.
Gammonish.com is “a complete resource for anyone that is interested in backgammon. Knowing nothing about backgammon, I found the navigation to be easy and quite interesting. On the upper-left hand corner there’s not only a “Learn How to Play” tab, but a “History” and other available Resources. But, this website not only attracts the novice game player such as myself, for the more advanced the entire left-hand column shares a wealth of information for this site to fulfill their opening sentence of being a “complete resource” for this game. Job well done!
Internet Branding Question: Do You and Your website/blog fulfill its mission? Opening Sentence? Vision?
Side notes to share: As a gaming-site with nice visuals and easy-to-use click-through, I don’t doubt that this site has great potential to be very sticky. Also, the owners are monetizing the site visually well with game boards for sales. Last, having a blog to conveniently on the right-hand column, the owners give teasers to their readers that they “know the newest and latest news” in the backgammon industry and sharing it all in one-place: front page.
One example, was they shared the news of a new Online Backgammon called BackgammonMasters.com. It’s an “online gaming software provider has now added Poker for real money to its All-in-One Lobby. To celebrate the real money launch, BackgammonMasters is offering games with no rake (house commission) for a limited time only”.
By clicking once on the blog-teaser it opens up to the blog/forum of the full article. What I would’ve liked to see was that the game site had a live-link available for their readers to easily check out the site they were featuring.
Internet Branding Question: Are you making everything convenient for your readers to find? Navigate?
Interestingly, I posted at BlogMastermind Forums, its not that I’m lazy…but when some one recommends a website or resource to me without a link, its added work and I’d probably not do it. I actually recommend that others use their affiliate links, simply for working to sharing good resources and recommendations…everyone deserves a little somethin’ for their time and efforts. And, this is *not* self-promotion, this is good affiliate marketing and Powerful Networking!
Internet Branding Question: Do You practice what You Preach?
A Powerful Networker is seen as a resource person, someone who not only knows many people and can make referrals and recommendations…but, they are a “Resource” person for goods, services, tips, tools and much more! A Powerful Networker is a Resource Person who can lead, advise and counsel you within Your Internet Brand. Are You Accomplishing this!?

thats quite a lot of money for a review
Hi Increase Website Traffic
As I explained in the post, the rate at SponsoredReview is based on a full critique post, that typical takes at least 2-4 hours of my time, and since I get only 65% from them, this is a huge discount on my $150/hour consultation fee
The price range is $50 - $500 for 4-checks blogs, and while others charge $300-$500, so choosing the exact middle-price tag is lower than my competitors and blogs of similar traffic and subscribers.
Also, I shared that I’m willing to review websites/blog that meets anyones’ budget depending on other factors.
We always conduct competitive research for our rates; so please let me know what concerns you most about our price so we can better assess our particular audience.
For ponns type of review and the responses received it is well worth it. I’m getting a few from her !
