    Hey guys, I would love for you to give me a review on my website. I just recently finished making it, and want to have opinions. Also, anyone that signs and posts up gets a cool Founders badge.

    Let me know: http://aeroforcegaming.com

    Real basic: I like the design. My research shows that you do not currently have any links to your website from other websites.

    This website does not appear to use any analytics software
    Many pages have no page titles defined, compromising search engine placement

    Marketing is your only current weakness.

    I give your site 4 out of 5 gummy bears!

    Google analytics is what I use. Is your website built on wordpress?

    My website is actually built through XenForo, the same software DP uses.

    Installation
    • Install the addon-dpBetterAnalytics.xml file in your Admin Control Panel -> Install Add-on option... DONE (no files to upload).
    This sets your Google Analytics tracking to track additional info like social button interactions, page timings, demographics, interests, gender and forum areas being used (forum is stored in custom variables 1).

    This is for XenForo 1.2 or higher.

    you'll have to setup a free google account if you don't already have one, just go to google.com and sign up in the upper left. After signed up go to google and search for "google analytics" and that should help you find the page to get started setting up everything on googles side. Then all that's left is configuring the plugin addon.

    well if dp is anything like wordpress, each page you create should have an option for you to fill in the title meta and other info like that.

    A large number (100.0%) of pages do not specify page titles at all. Page titles appear in search results and at the top of the browser's window when visiting the site. Appropriate page titles are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
    • Make sure that all pages have a title in the head of the document. Extra detail
      Page with missing titles
    You might have to go to the xenoforo forums and find out exactly how to set these as my experience is limited to html/wordpress.

    Good keep your momentum, and keep away from distractions and time killers. write down your goals for your website and put them somewhere you can read them. It will help center you and keep your vision clear.

    I hardly find anything wrong, obviously site is pretty new but you have put some real effort to make this one out, great theme, great use of xenforo, 5 star.

    As first poster said, some marketing is now needed but hey, everything at once and so far you made it right.

    Indeed but advertising is not all, for now, I strongly recommend to not spend a single penny on that, you will loose it for nothing.

    to be honest, it's hard nowadays to find people who work hard on their site, most of the time they just set it up and wish it can work out, but you forum is above that level and I mean it and trust me I am pretty tough on reviews. (I am the one who set up things the lazy way, change a couple of things and let it go :cool: )
