A little advice please Im just knocking together another theme, and would like some input as what else you would like to see in it ? Demo can be found here: http://proxyring.co.uk/test Cheers RR
You need better ad placements, take look at this theme for some ideas http://www.proxyred.info Maybe add a sidebar for extra links, and maybe one for a adsense ad, remove the top bar thing you have as it dos not blend in with the theme, and a logo and give psd for people to change it to there site name, i am not too fond of the background to be honest looks too dark. Also i downloaded your other theme to check some things. If your adding a sponer link to your themes or a copyright back to your site i advise you list that in your licence and tel people not to remove it , i know a lot of people will remove it but the ones that do follow rules will keep it. Also i see in the config you have none of the following most people do not know how to add this stuff. //Site Title $themeReplace['site_title'] ='site title here'; // Website name $themeReplace['site_name'] = 'site name here'; // Meta description $themeReplace['meta_description'] = <<<OUT meta description here OUT; // Meta keywords (separate with comma) $themeReplace['meta_keywords'] = <<<OUT keywords here OUT; // Website Slogan $themeReplace['slogan'] = 'proxy slogon here'; //About box description $themeReplace['about_desc'] = <<<OUT OUT; // Proxy description text $themeReplace['description'] = <<<OUT PHP: There is more that can be added but this is just a example.
What SKULL said... Especially the hidden browse bar, it needs to be visible else visitors are going to leave before they use it thinking it's just another spammer site. And on that note it's also against google terms and likely to get banned or delisted too: http://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=48182#pla (click the: [+]View full ad placement policies) The slide down thing covers the ads.
Thanks for the comments Guess I should abort this one all together then lol Will be back in a few days with another go Cheers RR
I read a lot on here, people cant seem to find decent honest hosting - Well take a look here: http://proxyhosting.eu/ Its run by me and I have been hosting for around 5 years all be it seedbox's but have recently strayed into the proxy market. Im always around either on here or over @ WJ, we use a licensed WHMCS so support is also available via that system. Cheers RR
I think it's totally lame to copy the forum format and structure of proxy.org, when half of the sections aren't even relevant to you. You have even duplicated, word for word the description of each category. Absolutely nothing worth signing up for when you can find better info at the proxy.org boards. Zero creativity.
Dude add better logo for your site...and do something special...currently site looking similar to proxy.org
If your new to proxy and just starting out take a look here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2511308
What websites do you think would be most popular to create plugins for ? Youtube, Facebook, and Myspace being big and probably quite a few porn websites. Fileshareing websites ?
If i was you i would take the Activity Stream of when you go to http://talkproxies.com as its going to http://talkproxies.com/activity.php? , you want to make it go to the home forum page as the Activity is off putting.
Just a reminder, if you want a clean free proxy template. Please check out WebEvader.org for the SIMPLEX proxy theme!
Hey Skull. I'm still trying to work out how to do it. I was thinking of just doing a .htaccess redirect. Regards Luke
