OPEN TO TIPS OR SUGGESTIONS!

Looking for new header btw!

The layout is generic IMO it looks like all the other website that try to incorporate adsense... Try an original layout, something that breaks the rules. Make your site so different, the user will forget what adsense is.

With today's economy, people are staying at home and they're bored. Give them something to eat up time. You'll be able to watch your profits rise, and your traffic, rank, etc.

Your site's statistical ranking is also poor, you should enter your URL at www.alexa.com and see for yourself. If it's a new site, give it time. If it's an old site, you need to work on marketing it.

Hey!

Thanks for the review.

The site is only 1 month and a bit old, so i figured my alexa rating was pretty average/good?

And i'm in the process of opening a forum - on the eating up time bit.

Again, thanks for the review, i've taken your suggestions into account, especially the one about the layout/template!

THANKS!

yeah for 1 month your kickin arse much better days to come my friend

the more pageviews you get out of them the better IMO-- some will say it kills your click through rate and lowers your cPc--- but think about this... things dont stick with people until the third time, the more you expose them to the same ads over and over again, the better chance it will stick. use colors that are of the spectrum, red green blue on opposite backgrounds to make the ad's stick out.... Subconciously they'll look at it every time, the eye can't refuse it... it's like crack for rods& cones haha they love it...

good luck!

**Sycrohix** · 07-25-2008, 03:10 PM

um, thanks i guess.

But may i point out, the site was not intended to be humourous.

**FGU** · 07-25-2008, 06:46 PM

Just a thought: What would happen if the visitor had a text-only browser?

**eautocad** · 07-25-2008, 07:09 PM

they would be confused and leave.

**Sycrohix** · 07-25-2008, 07:51 PM

Not sure what you mean by the second bit, but all information on the site is correct.

**two11** · 07-26-2008, 01:01 PM

Looks good, colors go together.

**maya01** · 07-26-2008, 02:28 PM

As a matter fact my website is just one month old and i m getting even more views luckily traffic on my website has been great . i like your website simple but i suggest u should have 3 colums so u can most more informaiton

**Sycrohix** · 07-26-2008, 04:15 PM

Quick question, is my page width too big? Do you have to scroll across to see the whole page?

**jpablo** · 07-26-2008, 04:43 PM

didnt work at 1024x768, shows an horizontal scroll. The binary background creates confussion, the main idea is OK, but you can enhance the background to show 101 instead of the infinite binary stripe. The links at the left are centered, you can left align them and a less fluo color maybe =). And the bottom links... no one will see the bottom links

**Sycrohix** · 07-26-2008, 05:45 PM

Okay.

So nobody likes the background then!

How would i solve the page width issue? How can i set it to 100% view?

I don't see a header. I only see Google Adsense.
Also, I can barely see the black links on the footer.
I found a nice page on Google about Text-Only Browsers.
The most common one seems to be Lynx but if you keep on searching on google for text-only browsers, you'll find there are quite a few.

**Sycrohix** · 07-26-2008, 07:01 PM

Site updated..;

new header
new background
sorted width.

**Towhid** · 07-26-2008, 08:16 PM

I don't think the overall design theme is appripiate for the site's genre. An acne website in my opion would do well with a clean and white design. Your black grid design along with all the green makes it seem almost like a gaming website. Just a thought.
