**altonpost** · 05-30-2002, 06:54 PM

I wanted to get some opinions on my new Index page that was created by Cheif . I think it rocks myself..We were trying to target the keywords alton , illinois , free classifieds and st.louis any opinoins are welcome...please check out my source to veiw meta tags and give me some hints on that as well please...the tags were mainly done by myself so I might have messed them up..the index page is located here

I think that is a nice entry page. Looks good!

IMO, the Site Partners list needs to be in the bluetable instead of on the background.

Do you think the red border would look better if it was completely around the blue?

On meta tags, you might want to include buyer and seller since it is part of your service.

I like it.

Yeah it's good now, also I like new background. The one thing I don't like is pop-up which ask to add it to favourites

But overall is good keep on

I think the page looks nice.

I agree with Dave that the Blue Table should include the Site Partners - I suggest they be above the copyright.

I would consider adding the keywords that Dave mentioned and also, st louis (no period), ad, advertise, advertisement, ads, free, garage sale, yard sale, sale, personals, real estate, rent, houses, apartments, pets, and collectables.

Do you mean for StLouis to be one word in the 1st paragraph?

I really like the logo - my eyes are drawn to it immediately and it describes the site quickly.

My best,
Cindy

I think it looks good.

Should get indexed well by the search engines when they crawl it.

The site has definitely come a long way! I think it looks good. You could make up some flyers to pass out to local businesses to solicit some business for the Post. That could help with populating the classifieds and that give it more to offer.

While you're still thinking about what you offer, you might want to change the colors of Register Now on http://www.altonpost.net/bazar/main.php. It actually looks like R GI TE NO. Maybe the letters need an outline, better yet, maybe the letters' fill could be the flag.

And you still have a few things to work on like table sizing (making the spacing between the boxes uniform).

Dave

PS Please be careful who you give the pass to for your FTP. You can have people send you their ideas or work and then you upload it.
