    Seems a bit cluttered.. some addition navigation might help the text seem more manageable.

    I like the look of it because it is simple and strait forward, plus user friendly, nice job

    Thank you all for the feedback!

    Julier,

    I sort of see what you're saying, but could you be a little more specific? What sort of additional navigation and where? Thanks again for the suggestion!

    As you mentioned your adsense revenue in your opener I went looking for that. It isn't on your first page, just on the single post pages. I'd recommend you also stick it on the homepage that way your ads are exposed to people who only read the front page.

    Looking at the ad placement, I think it makes the top too crowded. The WP plugin "adsense-deluxe" allows you to put the ads inside the post. If you do that, you might also want to tone down the color of the title otherwise people will be reading the post and come to the bright titles and think the post ends above the ads and a new post begins below the ads.

    If you don't want to stick ads inside the post, then perhaps move a block down to the bottom. This will ease the congestion up top and present ads to the readers who read all the way through the post.

    do you want a bigger audience or more revenue?

    to increase revenue dramatically, very simple, put an adsense unit on your front page.

    to get a bigger audience... well there is a lot you can do. i'll post again if you're interested.

    Adsense ads are non existent on the front page because I don't want to give the impression that my site is another auto posting wordpress MFA site. Only 3 clicks behind since my last payment, the very top ad under the title has received almost as many clicks as the ad on the right.

    bland10000 - I see exactly what you're saying about the crowdedness, but I'm not sure about placing ads inside my posts. Is this something you've personally done and had success with?

    monosodium - I'm really interested in a bigger audience. If there were more subscribers, more traffic, I'd have more motivation to post. Please share your information regarding a bigger audience.


    Thanks again for the info, but here's another question :) What type of ad(s) would you suggest for the front page, and where?

    Yep, I do it and have success with it. Here is an example of the adsense plugin in use within a post, (OP has seen example, link removed). The ads are next to the picture of the girl with the ball. You can arrange your ads horizontally or vertically and near the top, in the middle or at the bottom.

    Bland10000,

    Excellent. Thanks for the information. Whenever some free time presents itself, I'll make some changes and see how they work out.

    I think you need a banner and some kind of pictures!

    I've thought about it, but I personally believe graphics are obnoxious. Anyone else care to give their input?

    Add a banner, yea or neh?

    Hello j0ned


    I had a chance to look over your website today.

    My Thoughts

    Logo & Header
    Logo does the job for the site.... I would just recommend re-writing the slogan/tagline to give a better description of your site.

    Domain Name
    Like the domain name. Simple and catchy.

    Content
    Really appreciate the content. Very thoroughly done... and well written.

    Recent Posts
    Your recent posts lists seems to spread apart in Internet Explorer. It looks alright in FireFox and Opera.

    [​IMG]

    Tag Cloud
    Tried the tag cloud in the 3 different browsers and it worked no problem.

    Conclusion
    Excellent website with very useful information.

    This review was done with 3 browsers (FireFox 2.0.0.9, Internet Explorer 6.02 & Opera 9.24) on Windows XP SP2.

    I do hope this helps.
    Respectfully,
    Lhlalyam
