I came across a new contest, sponsored by TylerCruz.com and Gyutae Park of Winning the Web.com. These gentlemen are competing against each other for the most votes. I enjoy a competitive nature but I'm extremely choosy, therefore, I had to review each website carefully before I came to a decision.
Entering Tyler's website, I was first impressed by a sentence Tyler wrote in his "Squeeze more money from your blog" article. He wrote "As a blogger, my main focus is to write good quality articles that resonate with my audience. Additionally, since my blog is about teaching you how to make money online, I try to write articles that make my readers come back because they know they’ll end up learning something from my posts." It could be good writing or an entrepreneur that believes in quality. Either way, this stood out and made me want to peruse more articles. My honest critique is I enjoyed Tyler's site, picked up a few pointers and I look forward to reading his articles.
Next, I had to review Gyutae's site to see if there was any worthy information provided. Gyutae's site is the opposite of Tyler's. It's more commercial vs. entertaining. That made it difficult for me to read many of his articles. For a blog to keep my attention, it must draw me in and keep me excited to be there. I noticed one of Gyutae's posts from Alan of Affiliate Confession, who wrote that “Gyutae is a real person with a decent haircut who’s wearing a business jacket and Tyler Cruz is a cartoon character with a gambling problem and poor posture. He also has very shifty eyes.” This is one of the things I enjoyed of Tyler's website. It's whimsical and fun and keeps your attention.
While both websites provide great tips for bloggers, Tyler's blog is more inviting and energizing. His logo draws attention and provides a welcoming feeling without even perusing the site.
And on a final note, Tyler was evil enough to upload pics of his opponent and himself, and then draw upon Gyutae's face. Although, this was a humorous gesture, I nod in his corner for his bitchiness. I cast my vote for TylerCruz.

Oh no, you voted for the wrong guy! You really think Park is very "commercial"? I thought his points are a lot better laid out ... rambling, when all you need is information, is too much for me.
I like both- but Park is better. heh heh
Yes, I enjoy a more whimsical writing style to keep me interested. If you notice, all the blogs are becoming the same, quality information, blah, blah, blah. All the same just changing the verbiage every now and again. That's the only reason I didn't pick him.
