Website Review and Suggestions

**shabbirbhimani** · 09-29-2008, 02:34 AM

Guys,

I just launched my new forum ( www.mbaguys.net ) and would like some fresh pair of eyes to suggest me if I am missing anything.

Thanks
Shabbir

Is it a statement or a question?

**shabbirbhimani** · 10-05-2008, 02:38 AM

Is there anyone else to give any comments?

First I love the name.
But I feel the logo is not appropriate. It looks like a law site. MBAs are blue shirt and cool tie guys.
It need a bit of Search Engine Optimization to pull the crowd. You seem to be talking more about Indian MBA and stuff. I hope you are good SEO. If not shoot me a PM.

Forum looks nice and i should appreciate your initiative for education forum.
But members are less and you can market your site at yahoo answers.

Already doing that. As of now I am looking for some paid bloggers to increase the content on the vbblog I have.

Cool one....nice.......... eye soothing color combination.

Best Wishes,

**Galaxian** · 10-08-2008, 12:38 PM

It's ok.

Loading was slow and seo can be improved. Not really extraordinary though.

Wow. Nice forum set up. I spent a lot of time trying to get a forum set up on my site and haven't been able to find anything half that nice. Good job.
Good site name as well. I'm studying for the GMAT right now, so I'll have to check it out in greater detail.

**mazarebacha** · 10-09-2008, 12:15 AM

Its cool forum,...good luck!

Would love to have you onsite for both queries and some replies

I think that the site looks nice and clean and the name is really unique, and in the design has an impressive appearance, I think that your really done a great job on your site!

Hi guys, don't go this forum to contribute
1. a lot of advertisement, I just wonder why google never ban their ads. They put a lot of ads together in the same page, not only google ads.
2. No signature setting
3. Email will be banned for links more than 2 in one post.
4. I don't like the forum green and yellow color style, sucks!

It is as per Google Rules of 3 per page and so there is no issue with this. I guess you need to read TOS yourself.

Because of lot of spam this has been stopped and if you are planning to post on forums just for sig you can do that but will not be visible to guests.

Links in posts aka self promotion is not allowed.

Thats feedback I liked about yours but I guess its personal choice as well.

**CrazyCalm** · 09-26-2009, 08:34 AM

The forum set up was nice. I did think there were quite a lot of ads at the top.

I liked the way you added the social bookmarking area at the top as well as searches, etc. You seemed to have covered all your bases.

May I ask why you chose the forum board you did? Does it have advantages over other ones?

The Forum is nice and a lot of information neatly placed. And its a running form with lots of readers. Nice work

**JlueGold** · 09-27-2009, 10:27 PM

It looks great, exciting place I'd go to!
