Please review my new site. Looking for suggestions. I know it pretty basic but it is a start. http://brotherchoice.org/
Very basic and could use a better template. The first and abou tthe only thing I noticed when opening is the adsense. Usually when that is the case most will just close the window and move on to the next site
To be brutally honest, your site will not make it long as is. The site is just an ad site with some copied tips. If you want to have a successful site, you need to come up with original content and do so before adding so many ads. The template is fair but I would spruce it up a bit. Add some golf pictures and change the colors. It is a start but never a good idea to use copy and paste articles. You want people to want to visit your site for something that you write not just something copied from elsewhere. If you are a golf player, you should be able to write tons of tips on your own.
The site design is rather plain and the contents can also be more interesting as well, need some works to do if you want this site to gain more traffics...Good luck.
I agree with everyones post above but dont sell yourself short. This is your first site design. You only get better by trial and error. Im sure you learned alot by getting it started. Just work on tweaking it and making it better.
