Check out what I did with my directory

    A short while back I made some drastic changes to me directory. I created a subfolder and moved the directory index to it and installed WordPress in the root folder. So now the main domain is a blog with the directory in a sub folder.

    In the past update the main page kept its PR3 and the brand new subfolder got a PR2. Evidently my move wasnt bad for SEO. Also the traffic to the site has increase like 3 to 4 times what it was before.

    I would like to get some opinions about how the site looks and how the navigation etc is done.

    Any feedback would be appreciated

    Your intentions are Good But what about the Relevant Links you bought for your Directory when it was installed on the Root ..Now you are switching mutually your blog and directory position --The links which were pointing to your directory is now pointing to your Blog! --First of all I would say it's a Bad Idea --Now come to the Main point ,Things I have noticed in your site>>

    *Design is OK !

    *Color combination Great!

    * Search Button need to be matched with the side-bar buttons

    * navigation look Good to me !

    * Ads placement is not though Good in side-bar But its fine here

    * overall its a nice site,Rating A+,Best of Luck!
    Just concentrate on relevant links because it do have importance in SEO ..!!

    Hello KentuckySlone.

    I had a chance to have a quick overview of your website. First of all, MicroBrain makes an excellent point which I would never have thought of. And this is about switching your directory in place of your blog. Then making your directory a subdirectory of your blog. Please consider this... and would hope that you do notify your links of such changes:

    MY REVIEW

    Logo & Header
    I do think these could use some work. Especially since you are trying to attract attention to your blog also.

    Navigation
    The navigation looks a bit off in my browser. Maybe you could right align it.

    Content
    Content is excellent! Good read... good information... very informative!

    Links at Bottom of Page

    The very last line of text at the bottom of your page gets distorted

    Webmaster Resources Page

    This page seems to get distorted when I view it. Please see image below. The white area juts out both on the left and right sides.

    I've tried a few other links and it seems to happen only from the Advantage Directory links.

    Conclusion
    Overall the site is good. Very informative and easy to read. I appreciate the font you use.

    For this review, I am using FireFox 2.0.0.7 on PClinuxOS 2007.

    I hope this helps.
    Respectfully.
