The private subscriber area

One of your moderators mentioned the site review forum as part of the paid portion of the website. Would you please provide a little more detail about this? I wondered what was typically reviewed on the submitted websites and how they compared with site reviews on the Google webmaster forums.

No magic bullet, kiddo. What you get is short, concise, often harsh commentary regarding your site. at one time I was there and among those. Yet none of the commentary is ugly, cheap or off... just not what you want to hear. Just is what it is. Could get a few hints to fix some obvious, but you will NOT get a clue to HOW to MAKE the big G love you. All are trying to do that and ... marginal results at best.

Finally, the reviews obtained are far superior to what G provides as they are reviews by your PEERS, not the money machine.

That said, kiddo, the subscription is worth double what you pay as the nitty gritty replies are eye openers most of the time.

I was guessing it could be brutal, but after being torn apart in the Google forums, I might have a tougher skin now. In the Google forums, some of the advice I received was simply that my navigation system was a shambles and my news section wasn't much of a news section. When I asked for more details I only got more general comments or insults that really didn't explain why they thought the navigation was a problem or the news section was lacking. I'm hoping for a little more detail on the why and the solution.

That you will get. Seriously. Webmasterworld folks are the best in the biz... and are not G shills. You'll get the true skinny.

kenroar if you do go for it, be precise in what you're wanting reviewed and aiming to achieve.
