Thanks so much to the three people that posted. Made me feel good The site's been live for 3 months and im trying to get it onto the top page for 4 keywords/phrases which get 5 million searches a month between them. Wish me luck.
I agree with primet, categories would be a good idea. The dark site, white background + dark text makes it hard to read a lot of texts. If you increase the padding inside the white box, and reduce the size of the black border between the posts then it'd be a lot more friendly for my eyes.
4/5 pros: -good layout, idk why people say its hard to read when it isn't. -very good idea. lacks: -time, date. -offer a reply? people go to a confession booth to get a rely, why not this? -more stuff, like a link to a forum? Make it a social/general forum. -option to add a name, location, age, OR JUST AN EMAIL (<-- best option) to spice it up. Leave anonymous default always. -make submit on the index page at the bottom would be better and quicker. -remove your name from the banner, seriously it would be better if it wanst there.
Hi chucky, thanks for the heads up. Date, definetly will add. Comments, definetly will add. I don't really see a point in adding other personal details, confessers can get feedback via comments. Definetly will add confessions submit box at bottom of home page. about links, once it gets more popular (a few thousand visitors a day) will link to a forum and also maybe sell links. And im also thinking about adding movies to the bottom of the home page while people wait for their confession to be added. one more thing - is it that hard to tell that they are confessions from individual people, because a few people now have asked "are they your confessions or other peoples?" (they are other peoples) I think I should add some text at the top "User confessions" Please reply, Alex
Great APP....Add some sort of feedback function: like "Amend" comment: could be for visitor or poster or even a search function that crawls the confessions and creates a confession Cloud....the Cloud would boost your ranking add an RSS feed....Get your donations up front build some cool header that would drive folks to donate "Feeling better after your confession, show your appreciation Donate Here" Cool APP
"Recent Submitted Confessions & Comments" could work too. maybe some text above the 1 2 3 4 page area with "Newest-Oldest" more suggestions on top of the suggestions I've already added: -make comments see-able. -rating for each confession and comment would be nice also. -make a information box or just a simple area before the confessions area on what your site is about, tell them post about there confessions and users will reply with suggestions, helpful advice, ect. -make someone you know a moderator to clear spam, unneeded confessions and comments. -offer blogging about confessions, with no info about the person required. Some people might have longer confessions they can't just simply say in one line. by adding a date, time, and an option for email so people can help that way also can increase the believability.
Hey, I have checked and checked but can't seem to find a genre/category for this site. No money yet. The sites fairly new, within the next few months I expect to get a few thousand uniques a day. Then I will sell backlinks on the home page. Probably 5 at a time. Maybe 10 bux a week.
