Hello I am looking for a review on my new site. I especially am interested in anything related to adsense placement etc. How is overall design? Where can I place more ads? I also wanted to know if it is ok to title the sidebar adsense ads as "advertisement". I'm guessing it is not againt the adsense TOS. thanks for the reviews!! http://www.thefunniestfaces.com
Hello zchatila, I like the design. About the adsense placement, my advise is to try different positions and types and see the result. A good position for one site may not be as profitable as you wish for yours. I may suggest you use 728x15 5 text links placed at the bottom of the page.
haha, it's a good attempt to drag traffic by building a website like this. Entertaining , I must admit. However, you definitely need to organize it. Needs a better layout, a little content and may be google adsense flashing at the lower end of the website.
not say anything about design but SEO: 1. no links to sitemap.xml (___thefunniestfaces.com/sitemap.xml) 2. empty robots.txt 3. internal links absents (related posts and etc) English isn't my native language, but goddammit, I'm trying!
Many funny pics on your site. Colors and layout is fine. A lot of your pics will receive viral traffic from the social media space. "Spec" told you about the SEO you should do, but in addition to that your posts need content. Write about what inspired you to post and/or alter the image. Point out things about the image that are not so obvious and more. The content is mainly for search engine optimization so included keywords that will attract visitors who are looking that type of pic and other discriptions. For more insight I'm right here.
nice site dude,if you concentrate on design of site then forgot about more adsense money ,if you need adsense money use adsense optimized theme
I don't agree with you. Those adsense optimized themes are bllshts. You can earn a lot of money from adsense even if you don't use such a theme.
It is really nice. The space that you have kept for advertisement is perfect. I liked design as well. I do not know what others say about it, but I think there is no change required in it.
Thank you for all the amazing replies. I think it's been a long time since I have had such a usable/helpful thread on a public forum!! I have implemented most of the SEO tricks suggested and will wait to get more google/facebook traffic (reddit/digg users don't click ads!) in order to evaluate CTR and ad placement! thanks again and by all means, keep chiming in!
I really like the colour combination and the logo. You should make the navigation tabs stand out a bit more. Adding a hover or background effect using CSS might help.
site idea is great to get word of mouth traffic I would improve your logo text to be more readable, replace paper bag guy - doesn't quite match your concept for me I would move your simple 3 instructions to the right side of header area, big and bright, this will let create another ad space at prime location
