Please review my Recipe website.

[stickycarrots]

Hello everyone,

This weekend I spent about an hour or so and created Ethnic Recipe Info (http://ethnicrecipe.info), my own small ethnic recipe website.

I'll admit right now that this is not my best looking website. I didn't put a lot of work or thought into the design. Basically I'm just going to see what kind of search engine traffic I can get to start and then in about a month I'll do some more work on it.

However, I was wondering what you thought of it so far. I've setup search engine friendly urls for all the recipes and done a little SEO work. I'll improve on the SEO work in about a month when I come back to the project (lots of other stuff to work on).

What do you think? What improvements should I make?

Thanks,
Luke

Pictures -- you need some photos of food, even if not of the recipes themselves. They say we eat with our eyes first -- gotta get people in the mood for food!

I was browsing your linked websites. It seems you have created quite a large web. How's it going with the affiliate income? I'm trying to do the same. I like your ideas. How many sites do you have?

I am getting hungry and that is always a good sign.

Thanks. That is something I will be sure to do next update.

Income is decent. I build most of my sites to sell. I like the quick buck (even if it takes a few months to build up :p). I recently sold a good % of my sites, but I'm building back up. I currently have like 10 sites and a million projects :)

I am getting hungry and that is always a good sign.
Great to hear!

I would create a header design that's will stand out more than the ad on the top area of the site.

[rideswitch]

I have run across about 5 or so of your websites. Could you do us a favor and list them so we can take a look?

Thanks, CB

Thanks. I liked that color red too. I actually got it from an image I found when searching for "Ethnic Recipes".

lol...I might do a little work with the ads later. I don't even care if I make $1 from them while the site is sitting gathering traffic and PR.

Thank you all for your comments/suggestions so far!

[ferlie]

[mirul]

[stickycarrots]

Thanks Luke. How long have you been building and selling sites?
I've been developing websites for about 4-5 years probably now. I started selling my work about two years ago I think.

You should start a new thread (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=23) to have users review your site as well.

I'll see what I can do :)

I'm new here and i can't make a new thread, any idea??

I would refrain from hijacking this thread, it's the quickest way to piss off the community... Wait your week like the rest of us.

StickyCarrots:

As the new owner of this site, I can state unequivocally that it rocks. :D

It's currently #13 for "ethic recipes" on Google.

It got Stumbled the other day (not by me) and had 905 unique visitors stop by in one day.

[stickycarrots]

That is great to hear Will! :)

[stickycarrots]

Ethnic Recipe is working fine. Check it out at:

This week I'll be putting my drink recipe up for sale:

[Will.Spencer]

It was down for about three seconds. :D

[hichamb]

the website doesn't work for me :(

[Will.Spencer]

That's really weird -- and not in a good way.

How does it "not work" for you?

What do you see when you go to the web site?

What are you trying to do?

What does it do to you?

[blackjack]

Really nice recipes you have in your site... but i think adding some picture of foods would make it more nice...

I am soon going to upload my recipe site and put on a review here.. hope ppl will like it..
