Free and mass templates are not really a great idea. Who wants to look like someone else. The only way to use a template is to change its complete look and make it original. His site could use some appearance improvements, but at least it is original.
Hi shadow, Just to let you know that I went into your site and the images were taking too long to load. Looking at the properties of each image I noticed your banner is 17kb, oktoberfest1.gif is 18.21kb and EXOTICLOGO.png is 85kb. Make sure to convert EXOTICLOGO.png into .gif < I am guessing you forgot to export exoticlogo into .gif You may want to remove the banner from the site altogether, the image is faded and it catches the eye too much - distracting the visitor from the content and ad on the site. I like the logo you have, maybe make it a little bit bigger and ad the title of the pages in the same area i.e. Exotic Escapades. Make sure that the page title is in Bold and use a bigger font.
thanx mate...will surely try fig' out something...and yea forgot to export the logo...was wondering...how to get the page title near the logo...i wanted the banner to have something there...else the pages wud become very small i mean...something as the header or banner...can u suggest something good...thanx again
yeah use EXOTICLOGO as the banner, just make it a bit bigger - dont forget to make it into a gif file first.
thanx again turfsniffer.. i have exported the logo...and for the banner...i can't let it go...i really like it. ...another question for you...i was thing to convert my site into article format...like an article per page about the place...so that i can write a few of my own and slap 5-10 articles from the freely available article...will that be a good choice... thanx
You can still use the banner on the site, maybe above an adsense banner - if you do use it you may want to get it into a better quality image, its kinda blurred at my end. As for slapping 5-10 free articles onto a website, I wouldnt advise it as there is probably the same article in hundreds of sites. Compile your own article, say upload 1 every night or second night - keep the article between 250-300 words long (1 hours work) using keywords and maybe links within the content. Good Luck.
sure...will try doing it...i think its kind of long work since...i guess some info is required for writing an article...u have ne suggestions...??
From a purely adsense point of view, the usability problems inherent in your site could actually help the number of clicks you get from visitors. They may want to escape ASAP and be willing to duck out on one of the adsense links. However, any visitor of this sort you get you will only get once--and not for long. Thus, if you want this site to produce via adsense, you are going to have to get a lot of traffic / very good search engine placement. As for content...Well, some of the little text you have suffers from some clumsiness. I, too, would advise adding more textual material to the site, but unless you are striving only to turn a buck with a high-traffic "numbers game" approach, I would make sure the content you have is stronger than what you have shown so far.
hey monkeyads...just wanted to know what is the "inherent usability problems" on my site...as in can u be a bit more specific...it can help me a lot...as for the content..am having my exams so not writing much...but will get back soon...thanx for ur comments..
