    Hi,
    I have spent some good time like months to make a site and now I am planning to use adwords for its advertisement but I want an Independent Review as If my site is not worthy to be seen then its better I don't invest in it.
    Here is the link to the site http://www.bloghuts.com (for now its for games but later it will have other stuff too)
    Can someone tell me how does the site looks like to you?
    thank you for your review and your time.

    First impression was that the domain did not relate to the site at all.

    The site also looks very messy. At first glance you have no idea what the site is even about. Put the description at the top.
    I think you have also gone overboard with the animations.

    On the category pages you need to have the game name displayed not just a thumbnail. People will not keep coming back to play the game if they can't remember its name.

    You might also want to cut down on the amount of external stuff being loaded. It takes far too long.

    I would advise not having so many ads while the site is starting out. You want to get a user base before you drive people away.

    Ok, now to the good stuff.

    I really like how the games are displayed full screen although you should have an option for it to be smaller for people at work or school (your main target audience).

    I also like the category chooser on the homepage although it should have screen shots of the actual games for instance one is BF3.


    EDIT: I know this is unorganised but I was just typing stuff as I thought of it.

    Its a games site?

    "Bloghuts" sounds like something related to "blogs" or "huts" not to games...

    When it comes to is it worth the investment for adwords sites the most important thing is your traffic. If you are getting a few thousand visitors a month then I would say try it you could make a few bucks a day.

    I agree, you should have a domain that relates to what you're doing. I like the idea of having educational games (you won't get hit as hard by Google because it makes your site more family oriented). Don't invest in adwords until you have more visitors though.

    I'm going to agree with everyone here and say the domain name makes absolutely no sense. You should go buy a different domain name because this one is nonsense. However, you could easily sit on the domain name and use it for different content or sell the name later since it seems like a very useful name.

    However, I will actually disagree with some of the things other's have said about the style of the page. For a games site, I think it's EXTREMELY well laid out. Did you design it yourself? The font choice is great because it's... a game site. I also assume it's also Flash games so again, the font matches the theme of the site.

    Anyway, good luck with your website! Your content looks like it will be good.

    Well sorry for late reply, I have made it "one man work" I AM THANKFUL FOR REPLY. I understand the fact related to domain, it plays important role in SEO too if the domain is what you are fighting for in keywords but this site is not just limited to games. I will be add multiple stuff to it soon. That's why I choose this name.
    thanks again to all of you for your wonderful replies and comments.
