Blackjack Tactics is a website that is an online blackjack guide that looks at the strategy behind mastering the game and becoming a winner. Lets start with the beginning and take a look at the website’s front page.

The website is very basic and doesn’t have a modern feel to it. It feels like a website out of the 1990s. The basic layout is three columns, with the left side being links to sections of the website, the middle being the meat and content of the page and the right side is more links to information pages. One thing that the page has going for it is that it is very clean with big font that is easy to read. There isn’t as much clutter as a lot of the “online guides” have.

Lets take a closer look at the links to the left side of the page. The links are broken with three headers; “Blackjack Basics”, “Blackjack Strategy”, and “Other Blackjack Subjects”. Under “Basics” are links for pages to How to Play Blackjack, Blackjack Tips, Blackjack Odds, Blackjack Rules, and Why Play Blackjack. Under “Strategy” are links for Basic Strategy, Dealer Tells, Card Counting, Strategy Card, Strategy Charts, Shuffle Tracking, Secret Blackjack Secrets, and 12 Hard Core Blackjack Tips. Finally, “Other Subjects” have links for Related Games and Blackjack Websites.

I took a closer look at the sub-pages, here is a screenshot of the page for How to Play Blackjack:

These pages lose the right column, but keep the same basic format. There are larger ads added to the top and middle of the page, which distract from the otherwise detailed information in the beefy section of the pages. This page in particular has more than 800 words describing how to play blackjack and the basic rules of the game.

All in all, if you can look past the basic page design and somewhat annoying banner ads, Blackjack Tactics has a world of information on the game of blackjack and can be very useful for a hopeful player.

Are you looking for Cheap Web Hosting? Well, than it is a good thing that I’ll be reviewing the website 4 Cheap Web Hosting, an online guide to all of the best (and affordable) web hosting companies around the web. The guide’s description says that it has more than 200 approved web hosts and lists more than 400 cheap web hosting packages on its listing.

Lets start by taking a look at the website’s front page (click to enlarge).

The first thing that I notice is that there is so much going on that I have no idea where to look first. There are so many bright blue/underlined links, some actual content, other ads, but all sorta blend together. On the left side bar is a “Quick Search” that lets you look at web hosts by monthly price, disk space, and platform. Under the search is a menu of links that include “Home Page”, “Search Web Hosts”, “Top Rated Hosts”, “Web Hosting Tutorials”, “Hosting Glossary”, Add/Update Packages”, and “Contact Us”. Below this menu are two links for “Other Hosting Directories” (in case you can’t find what you are looking for here?). The middle space has a little information about the website sandwiched between distracting google ads. There is a link for an “advanced search” that should likely be on the left side bar instead. Under this are lists of “Cheap Web Hosting Packages” with different features. The right side bar is a list of the “Top 4Value Picks” with plan names, pricing details, host, and the host’s rating.

The real beef of the website is not the front page, but what visitors are using this guide for; information on affordable web hosts. This is what the detailed information looks like (again, you can click to enlarge):

Each review page lists basic features and cost right on top along with a “4Value” rating. Under this information are links to “View Host”, “See All Plans Available” [from said host], and “View Company Profile”. Below this is really important details on “Additional Features”, including Management, Ecommerce, Database, Scripting, Help, Misc, and Email. Under all the details is a time stamp of when this web host was originally added and when they were last updated. This is key because web hosts are always changing, adding and removing features. This lets you know how recent the review is.

Overall, even thought I hate the front page, the detail pages for the web hosts are really good and provide everything you need to know about the hosts.
