The following is a paid review and is my complete and honest opinion. If you would like your own paid review on my blog please visit the advertise page.
Today I am going to review a site called Green Eggs and Planet. While an environmentally focused (green) blog is a bit off-topic for an internet marketing blog, I accepted it for a paid review because I believe everyone needs a bit of information on reducing carbon emissions. Green related topics are going to be very popular this year and even have an effect on voting polls for the presidential campaign. At the current rate, our planet is dieing because of all the pollution we give off, and so bringing blogs like Green Eggs and Planet in the spotlight will hopefully be step one into educating more people about helping the environment.
Improving your lifestyle while contributing to the cutback of pollution can be a process that anyone can adapt to. For instance, ever consider where all your garbage goes when you throw it out? I must admit, I personally have not, but while reading some of the articles written by Green Eggs and Planet author Matty Byloos, I am beginning to reconsider the approach I take throughout my every day routine in order to cut down my negative impact on the environment.
If you can, take a moment to marvel at the various tips, videos, and articles that Byloos’ blog outlines. “Green” is a key topic in today’s world, from studies being performed to uncover if global warming is actually an issue, to new methods aimed at recycling to cut down on client change.
The posts which focused on the impact our actions as humans have on animals really stood out for me. Think about it this way, if the money spent on war was instead used to find new advances on cutting down our eco-emissions, maybe these animals would not be living in the hazardous conditions they are currently in.
Byloos updates his blog quite often, with two posts on some days while missing a few days here and there (sort of like my blog). Byloos could make more money with his blog by using advertising networks like Adsense, which generally pay a lot of money for green topics. Byloos frequently posts products that are eco-friendly, from natural and organic products for your pets to beauty products for personal use.
Pros:
- Various categories and posts to choose from
- Multiple sections dedicated to specific topics, such as green travel or even organic foods
- Layout colors match targeted purpose of blog. Design sticks to the name, its green!
- Articles really get you thinking on the issue of global warming and pollution
- Brandable name
- More content than advertisements
Cons:
- Footer with links to outgoing sources is poorly laid out
- Footer has a weird design to it
- Footer’s white on green is hard to read
- Advertisements could be arranged better
- Search box seems awkwardly thrown in
- Posts on homepage are snippets, kinda annoying
- Widgets on the sidebar seem cluttered
- Navigation at the top could be better
All in all, Green Eggs and Planet is a unique environment (green) blog, run by Matty Byloos, who is a search engine optimizer like most of my readers, and I have no doubt he will build upon his blog and increase his profits. If Byloos uses any of my recommendations I think users will be able to navigate around his site easier, which will result in more pageviews, readers, and ultimately more money.

Great review, I liked the blog but agree with you on the footer stuff.
Totally guys — the first run at a modified Wordpress platform footer section pretty much only does its keyword job, and not much else. We’re doing a redesign as we speak, and that’s a major focal point. Your suggestions are very much appreciated.
Oh yeah, I’ve seen this blog before, it looks pretty good.
Well, i must appreciate that the site is doing such a great thing. Cheers and good luck to the creators of GE and P
