Buzz Marketing with Blogs: Review of The Art and Science of Commercial Restoration Blog

Review of The Art and Science of Commercial Restoration Blog

This review is one in a series that I’m posting on behalf of the students in Bud Gibson’s Blogging Bootcamp class at the University of Michigan.

The Art and Science of Commercial Restoration

You are writing in a very active voice, which is great. Asking questions of your readers, using the occasional exclamation point—these are good techniques for making your point, and making it memorably.

Spelling, spelling, punctuation, and spelling. Respect your readers by double-checking your writing for typos and mistakes. Your own credibility is hurt when you don’t bother to use language properly.

In the 5/18 post “Cleaning.com : NEWS: Should You Have the Air Ducts in Your Home” you ask a good question and provide some very useful information. However, you don’t actually answer the question. I still don’t know if i should have the air ducts in my home cleaned, just that companies that clean air ducts think I should.

When you quote material, be sure to spell out what you are quoting. For instance, in the 5/19 post “IICRC Storm Damage Restoration Recommendations” the first paragraph is quote—but I don’t explicitly know who it is that is quoted.

The entries on 5/24 are confusing. It looks like you are using the bold and the quotation marks to present two different viewpoints—but whose?

Great job on the 5/26 post “Commercial Restoration.” You’ve used quotes, explained where they come from, and followed up with analysis in a numbered list. This is exactly what a good blog entry should look like.
