eBay profit / fee calculator site

Discussion in 'Websites' started by algaidaman, Jun 3, 2008.

    I setup profit-calculator.com a few months ago, but have never done anything with it (other than the initial php coding and banner / google ads). I want to start focusing some attention ton it, and would really appreciate any feedback and advice that you can give me. Organic traffic has started to trickle in through google and yahoo, but I want to make sure that I maximise this sites potential.

    I want to add more calculators in the future as well, so i may sub the site or add folders. (ebay.profit-calculator.com or profit-calculator.com/ebay) Which would be better?

    Also, is there any value in me adding say a blog or something like that to the site?

    Thanks in advance for all your support.

    I'm sorry to be harsh, but it just doesn't look like a good site. You've got a ton of ads, way too many tables, nothing Web 2.0, and no good layouts. Fix all that up and you'll have a great website. It's a good idea btw

    OK, I've doen away with the ads, and have placed it in wp (I will be updating the theme later this week send me your suggestions)

    That way I can add a blog, and also add in other calulators a lot easier.

    Let me know your thoughts, and remember, I want the truth ;)

    Thanks.

    Well done! Phenomenal Improvement! Now you need to change the standard font, setup CSS for different browsers, and choose a more simple, yet elegant theme.

    I can get you a good theme for $10. PM me if interested.

    Your idea is good and could be presented in a more web 2.0 look.
    I would make it more a simple web 2.0 look and feel site rather than a old school
    bloggish simple look.
    Your market is all ebay sellers that is a plus!

    Thanks!!!

    Hopefully I can get more calculators up there. Not just ebay. First I want to get the look, and style of the site down before I build more calculators.

    Is it the font / style? Or is the text jumbled? I checked using Firefox, and noticed that the text got jumbled together as if I hadn't even used the
    <br>
    Code (markup):
    tags. I will try a few different things to see if that fixes it.
