The Story:

Before Michael had asked for this review I already knew who he was through Entrecard. You see, if you need a jump start into the world of Entrecard or some tips, Michael Aulia is your guy. His face and 125 card are everywhere and for good reason, he knows what he is doing.

When you visit this page you are not blown away by flashy design and extra wingdings flopping around. (Thank you!) This site is kept neat, clean and purposeful. Michael has really bought into the idea that "content works" and has not wasted his time tricking readers with Ferraris or photos of his Google earnings.

Aulia has been blogging since October of 2007 and according to his last month's stats, has come a long way in just a short amount of time. As you can see the biggest boost in his stats was through StumbleUpon which is something everyone should consider. Many of you need to get off the Digg bandwagon and realize there are others out there that can give you just as good or better results. You may want to ask Michael for some tips!

What don't I like about this blog? You can tell he has read some Adsense tips books because he has some very strategically placed ads that blend into his content nicely. (Wait that is probably not a bad thing is it?)

There is one thing and that is the "Read the rest of the article..." option he uses. I know that many blog use this idea but as a personal preference, I'd rather read the whole damn article on your main page!

Overall I really like what Michael does with his blog. You won't find anything over the top and that is a nice change from most blogs out today. He's not trying to be something he is not with this site and he gives his readers plenty of updates and interesting material. What more could you ask for?

As a techie or gamer, you should be all over this one!
