http://www.moviereviewspro.com I have been working hard on this website very recently and have grown to a staff of 12 people but due to the lack of work they were doing I cut it down to about 7 great people working together on this amazing site! We no longer buy reviews from people because our 2 dedicated authors (myself and Daniel S.) have the opportunity to see a lot of movies now! We are trying to keep up with the pace of the newest movies. How we expect to turn a profit is by soon selling affiliating with Fandango and referring our readers to them and we will get commission. As well as Rentals with Netflix, and purchases with BestBuy. We already have some of the BestBuy links up as well on the "On DVD" movies. I would like to know your opinions. We have a lot of new features coming out soon and I want to make all the positive changes I want at the same time. THANKS!
here's my review about you site... i think u need to update your web template. it's to simple i think... sory if it's to simple, i am neb mate... thanks.
your page title is bad for SEO. you should look at hiring someone who knows SEO, or getting a freelancer. also the low site strength will make ranking for high volume keywords difficult so work could be done here. i like the template though
I think the site looks good but you have a to chew there. You should narrow your market to one genre or one year (i.e. Best of 2008) or classics. There are so many movies out there and unless you have a huge database like Ebert and friends, you will have a lot of work ahead of you. I only see a few dozen movies on your site. If I don't find the one I am looking for, I'm leaving and never coming back. You might have bitten off more than you can chew.
Your website is great! Please review more Sci-Fi movies as it is really difficult to find good Sci-Fi movies... I love your tag clouds... How did you do to create it...? Anto
Thanks for all the reviews everyone! To those of you saying its too simple: A clean site is a healthy site. @ SiteBetter: You had some great advice to give! Our site is solely for the purpose of reviewing NEW movies as they come out. There is no specific genre that you can make for that. I am however taking into consideration your example of "Leaving and never coming back." How we could allow readers to identify what we are about is create an "About" page that tells readers we are here to review the newest movies. That is all I can think of. ABOUT SEO: If anyone has any recommendations of people who do great SEO work on blogs please let me know their contact information. But yes, the site has a simple template and that's the way we plan to keep it. The cleaner we can keep our pages the more trustworthy we can become to our readers. I would definitely love to get the SEO work done the right way so we can get more traffic coming in.
Hi iDotya, Agree with you: the cleaner, the better...! Have you setup any RSS feeds that we can subscribe to for your reviews...? Anto
I couldn't help but notice that we are using the same theme with my car blog www.carclassicszone.com. Anyway, i like the simple theme (not because I am also using it) but because it is apt for a movie review site that needs an uncluttered template. But I guess the header needs to be spiced up a bit to make it more interesting and more appealing. Most of all, your reviews rock. The movies you've reviewed and rated are in line with my personal ratings since I've seen most of the movies you have featured. IMHO, I find yours better than rotten tomatoes and I will definitely return to read more of your upcoming reviews.
Yep! Top right, right below the search bar. Wow! This is excellent to hear! I'm really glad you like our reviews! In the end that is truly what we are all about! The content! You should subscribe if you would like to stay with us
Clean overall layout, easy to nativate. Some movie review websites I've been to on the net are too overly complicated, but I didn't get lost here. I would recommend revising the HTML Title tags to include the name of your site. The "Pro" seems a little out of place. Other than that, looks good. Can't seem to think of anything else!
I like the simplicity but agree with comments about SEO. There seems to be unused advertising space on the site.
Absolutely. We will get right on that! SEO is not at the top of the list. Thanks! Does anyone have any suggestions how to increase traffic to this site? I seem to be getting on 10-20 UV per day. This is only over the past 2 weeks though. Before it has been 2-10 UV per day.
