Website Review and Suggestions

**BigJohnny** · 09-01-2008, 07:35 PM

I'm hoping someone could spend some time looking over my site and giving me some constructive critisim if needed.

This site was originally a free template and i paid to have a coder rewrite it to be W3 valid....after that its all me.

how is the code? CSS? clean and efficent or a disgusting mess?
is the layout good? are you getting errors anywhere?
what should i replace that stupid shoutbox with?
etc

Ive even customized error pages.... get a 404 error and tryi it all out too

Anyway, im not looking for good reviews if they arent warranted..... so poke away, and let me know what you think.

Well I dont know much about CSS but I do know statistics.. From what I see, this site is not getting "much" traffic, probably under 100 hits per day.. am i right??? I also checked your backlinks and this isn't too swell either. I would increase your link building efforts and work on your content as you go, and monitor changes in traffic patterns from the changes you do so you know what works and what doesn't.. Also apprecaite niche marketing, and by this i mean market to niches one at a time to monitor which niche likes which aspects about your site.. By doing this you can streamline your site to exactly what the majority wants, and also exactly how you want to profit from it ...

Link buidling is the key!

the site itself is just a home for a vbulletin mod that i made up, and the mod was hosted on a vouple of vbulletin sites, until someone decided to "steal" it... so i setup this site.

Its mostly just a place for users to come to get the offical teamspeak display module.(the original too i might add

)
At this point im happy im getting any traffic, and more to the point, its steady traffic.... i think

... meaning im getting at least a few hits everyday. There hasnt been a single day without since the site went public about 3 weeks ago.

I'm not sure what to do about backlinks, and im actually kind of lost about the whole backlink/linkbacks kinda thing... all of this SEO stuff wasn't even thought of the last time i had a website.

I would appreciate any help you could give me with this and generating more traffic, as I would like to see more .

thanks for the tips already

The header is pixelated. Look closely and you'll see. Did you copy the header from another source and paste it? Sometimes copy an image and pasting will cause this.

no, its generated by GD....not sure how to fix it, but its a script i found on ALA, dynamic text replacement.

the whole site looks tiny to me. i had to sit up on my chair to get a better look at everything. your width looks very narrow. 750ish pixels wide? your text is also hard to read because your font is so small.

i'm not sure why you have the xhtml, css, and uptime links. there's really no purpose for them and they take up an entire row at the middle of the site. i know their purpose is to show that your site validates - my question is why would your visitors care that your site validates.

i agree that the logo in the header needs to be fixed up. the problem is that you generated the text over a transparent background and now you're placing that transparent .png file over a grey background. this is what's causing the white aliasing issue. generate the text over the same grey background will fix it.
