In my task of analyzing a top blog in my niche area, I
decided on Video Games Blogger. The blog site covers video games and posts news,
reviews, tips and guides. Video Games Blogger posts reviews on the newest games
and also posts helpful related content to new games such as character lists,
weapons lists, walkthroughs, videos, and secrets.
They have a presence on Facebook and Twitter with thousands
of followers. The advertisements on the site appear to be all video game
related and advertises some of the newest games. This is good advertising
because their audience is gamers. I have seen other gaming web sites where the advertisements
are more random and not game related. According to Alexa.com, their traffic
rank in the United States is 13,704. There have also been at least 2,171 sites
linking in.
I think this is a great video game source for gamers who
want the latest news, walkthroughs, and reviews. One area I think they could improve
upon is their site layout. I think it is a bit too ‘busy’ and it looks a little
disorganized compared to other game sites.
For example, the first 5 of 6 postings on the news page is all about just
one game. I would organize it a bit better and group them instead.
Video Games Blogger is what a video game blog should be
like. It has news, reviews, walkthroughs, exclusive videos, and a poll of the
week. Seeing how this blog and other gaming blogs operate has helped me shape
my own blogging strategy.
