Website Review and Suggestions

Hi, people,

I´m just working on my new arcade site - Online Games.

It´s based on avarcade scripts, but it´s heavily modified to be unique.

please let me know if you like it or don´t and what you find bad on this site and should be changed

thanks to all

Too many animated gifs distracting attention.

Logo looks as if should be wearing 3D Glasses to see what it says.

Login / Register text totally unreadable unless I highlight it with mouse to invert the colour.

I think that Site Info should be in the middle and bigger. Still keep the 'Totals: in the side bar' but make the site info easier for a visitor to find and understand.

Thanks for the first review, I´ll watch into it

Colors could work. Could, just needs a few more tones to get it there. The header is pretty horrendous though. Most people think just slapping a banner on these days will present their site and give users good access. Noooooope. Need to evolve it and add some more functionality.

The Site Info... should be in the middle... though, than I feel as though it would take away from the media on there and it would be a pain to get 'perfect'. I would next say put it on the left, but the fact remains that it should be anywhere but the right-side. It's what I looked to last, saying, "Oh cool."

"Log-in | Register - You have 100 plays left before you must register!"
change the color of this one... red on purple... dangerous for your eyes

also I didn't like that banner near "Trusted Gaming Sites"... maybe is just me hating advertising... I would put visitors first and advertising second...

I would bring all the games list UP-
When I load the page- the first thing I see is a hurtful banner... OK fine I'll deal with it. Then Google Adwords which I automatically ignore... wasted space. Then The hellishly annoying animated banner thing that makes me want to have an epileptic fit... :/

And finally... when I can't take any more, I get to your games :'(

I would move the trusted game sites to the bottom or the right of the page, (with smaller text please!) and move your Adsense to within the categories themselves... maybe have a bar of adsense every four categories or something.

What you want to do is get your visitors engaged on your site first so they stay, THEN you can use your advertising as a side-show. Your readers won't stay for the ads...

Keep in mind, on the internet, we ALL have ADD!

Oh, and also, you might want to try and get into some networks that have ads for the free-to-play MMO games. Once your site shows enough traffic, you can probably also approach the companies directly and ask for a monthly fee on adspots.

Showing text ads isn't going to get gamers to join a game unfortunately :/

And also, I HATE GOOGLE ADS lol so that's just me :P
