In the next few days I’ll be starting a new series of reviews and I’ll examine the news portals in the Middle East. I’m going to evaluate Design, Information Architecture, and most important than all Ads real value (not price) based on content visibility and navigation through out portals’ pages.

Starters, I’m going to digest 7days and move on to bigger portals of likes of AMEInfo, AlJazeera and AlArabeya.

Update:I was asked to clarify the criteria and the testing environment, here it goes:

  • Screen resolution: 1024×768
  • Browsers: IE6, IE7, FF, Safari 2 (rough test, not so strict)
  • Connection speed: 1MBit

    I heard there’s a lot of fuss going on about the economic opportunities in the middle east, everybody wants a chance to invest in the land of the black gold, who knows, maybe you’ll get paid in oil fields?
