Looks good, good layout but I would add something viual like a banner or pictures to attract people's attention

 

thanks i have added a splash of colour with the new image,

any other suggestions/feedback?

i can take brutal feedback too so hit me!

 

1. Very nasty ones :

W3C validation failed :

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.organiclinker.com

CSS validation failed :

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/...ker.com&warning=1&profile=css2&usermedium=all

2. No <title>, no meta description

3. URL's are dynamic. PhpLinkDirectory has the mod_rewrite function integrated. Activate it from :

Admin Panel / System / Edit Settings / Directory / Enable URL rewrite: YES.

4. The grass image and the logo have the ALT attribute, but it's "Picture." . Where's the relevency, and where is your SEO help ?

Use ALT's like : "Grass header" or " Organic Directory Header".

If someone disables the images in his browser, he will see there the text "Picture" .. That's relevant .. But at least he could've known what picture

Also ..Put ALT's to every picture you have.

5. Here : http://www.organiclinker.com/contact_us.php

You have a clean mailto: for the contact e-mail. Do you love to receive SPAM from email collecting robots ?

Use this there, and replace that standard mailto: :

<a href="javascript:void(document.location.href='mailto:'+'admin'+'@'+'organiclinker.com'+'?subject=Organic Website Feedback')" title="Contact us">Contact Us</a>

Code (markup):

You'll be avoiding a large quantity of SPAM this way .. No more Viagra

6. Remove frames, and use normal design (see bookstore)

CHeers.

 

Pretty bad website if you ask me...just alot of spammy links. You need actual content.

 

thanks for that ned,

as you will see the site is new.

thanks very much Christian for the constructive comments, theres alot there to work on, i was told to do link in asci characters as this would reduce the chance of it being harvested.

any more constructive comments are appreciated

 

build some real content.

Your website might be new, but I don't see anything really interesting on it

 

nice layout and logo!

good luck with the site

 

thanks, for all of the comments,

i will concentrate on getting good quality content on the site

 

your logo is good but simple
the category titles are too bold, use a smaler font size

 

expertu - that's an excellent tip. I'm gonna start implementing.

Organic Linker - you have a ton of white space...a ton.

 

I like the logo, awesome. I agree you need to make the Category links smaller.

 

It surely looks organic. I would suggest some colors though.
It depresses me.

 

I added a new link with no problem very targeted on organic agriculture. Hope you accept it as it is french

Is your directory only on organic products or do you accept anything (such as casino and pharmacy) ?

Although the name suggests the directory is about organic matters, I' suggest you make it more obvious (or mention it is not true)

Good luck

 

My site was added minutes after submitted. You have no review ?

Thanks anyhow

 

hello

i would change the main content font, its definetely too big.

 

thanks all

aramyus - yes I approved it
im just that efficient

thanks

any more ideas?
