I recently came across a Drug Rehabilitation website that housed some pretty valuable information. drugrehabilitationnetwork.com is probably the most comprehensive drug rehab referral site of it’s kind. They don’t offer you a facility to park yourself at for 30 days, they give you an honest review of OTHER programs/centers so that you can compare them based on your needs, or your loved ones needs naturally. They’re considered to be one of the best resources on the internet for drug rehabilitation and after looking through their site, I have to agree.

They do not accept money from their advertisers which is why they can give you an honest assessment of each drug/alcohol rehab and treatment center they have listed in their database. Registration for this site is free. Once you register you can then go through their links database to other rehabilitation resources on the Internet. For someone just getting out of rehab you can consider this part of your 12-step program where you’re continuing to work on your recovery. Anyone knows that it’s a long and windy road when you’re recovering and thanks to resources like these, it more than likely isn’t going to be such a bumpy one.

If you’re looking to drive more customers to your business, seoeffect.com has created a Search engine optimization SEO software. SEO Effect draws enormous attention. You’ll attract more visitors, more interest, more conversion, more business, and more sales. If you can handle the attention than this is the script for you.

They offer a free trial, I signed up and created a free account. Their prices range from $69 to $269. In wanting to learn more about the program I signed up for, I went to load the free account section and found myself looking at a 404 page. The rest of their navigation seems to work but it would be nice to know what the free account looks like. I had a little bit of trouble navigating around their database. At this point I’m unsure if anything is actually being done with my site.

To get past all of that, however, I found myself looking at the SEO Glossary. They list a long page of commonly used words on the internet in regards to search engines and other programs that webmasters use on a regular basis. Another option that they want you to look into is handbook search engine optimization however, the site isn’t in English so I doubt it would be much help to anyone.

While the site is fairly easy on the eyes and the navigation is standard in one place, I’m not overly confident that this company could help me as far as marketing is concerned. I’m sure they have a great idea and maybe their clients have even had some success in the past but I don’t personally see the point in spending $269 a year promising me more ‘attention’ when they claim to be professionals at this and are only a PR5 themselves. I was already a PR5 before I changed my website title. Now I’m just waiting for things to push back up again. I don’t believe this company will do that for me but maybe someone else will have some luck.

When asked to review a site, typically the first thing I look towards is site design. Is the template setup in a way that’s easy to read. Is the site easy to navigate through. Do the colors blend well together and don’t come off as blinding. Then I begin to poke through the actual content of a site. Typically some will say that the content is more important than the layout. To some degree this is true but 90% of the time if you load a site and it’s close to impossible to read anything then naturally you’re not going to stay there for very long, no matter what the resource.

I was asked to write a review on discountsafetygear.com. They offer everything from Hard Hats to Safety Goggles. The bulk of their website is setup in .html format and as someone who uses PHP exclusively I don’t quite understand the reason behind it but I’m not here to look at how the webmaster coded it, but what the final outcome is.

Visually the site is rather appealing. With the size of the text and the initial format of the page I can tell that the owners took Web 2.0 into consideration. It’s very easy to navigate through the page as well. The information listed on the sidebar is easy to read and easy on the eyes as well. I like their New Product section, I’m a sucker for new and interesting gear. There are a few sections where there’s the black and white construction tape and while I can understand the reason behind it, on the sidebar behind the title text there really isn’t much need for it. It makes it a little it hard to read but that could also just be my monitor. By the looks of it the site is fairly CSS heavy but it’s also designed with tables and that honestly doesn’t make much sense to me. I say switch completely to divs, search engines seem to like that a little better.

Considering Baby is prone to some form of self-damage (walking, bending, whichever) I naturally found myself searching through the First Aid Kits. The Home and Personal kits seemed interesting but for some reason I was drawn to the construction section. This is probably because I grew up in a family full of construction workers and knowing the contents of these kits by heart, I kind of wanted to see what an un-used one looked like – if this makes any sense of course. The kit that interests me the most is naturally going to be the most expensive – but this is my taste. I know in regards to safety that it’s important to have everything you’d ever need, even if it’s things you don’t think you’d need. This, of course, is based on the fact that my mother was assistant chief of EMS and always had a bag filled with things.

All in all it’s a fairly decent site and a great resource for safety gear that I’d recommend to anyone, no matter what you happen to be looking for.
