I think people are finding my website ugly! Ad placement is poor too.

    Hi forum members,

    I have just set up my very first website and thought it was the best in the world till someone pointed out that this might not be the case. (Bless him!)

    Thankfully, I am in the real world now and have decided to make as many changes as are necessary.

    Can I request the members to please find a little time to visit my site and criticise it to their hearts content?

    Please do comment on everything including the Adsense ads placement.

    Thanks a million.

    My site is www.earnsafelyonline.com

    It doesn't matter. Your website look fine, Nobody cares how pretty it is. When a surfer comes to your website he is looking for answers to a problem. Well informed trustworthy content. Not pretty colors and fancy design.

    Well this post should be in website reviews .. . Adsense ads should be placed in places to attract maximum visitor`s attraction which is not the case for your site ..

    Third , your site`s design is good .

    I always think that it's better to choose free templates for beginners. secondly your targetting very overused words - u won't get any traffic from search engines with this site. Try to focus on one thing - and than build your site around it. I will advice you to again build the site. Also makesure to add more content and thatthe site look good in 800x600 resolution. Keep the text font size small.

    I think you have used a template but wasn't the best one. :) also keep the link like how-to-earn-money-from-ebay.html rather than 2.html or 3.html

    Instead of directly jumping into bandwagon, go through the forums for atleast two weeks. Plan it and than start working on it. I had wasted lot's of time just dong what are u doing :) Also remove the table with borders or make them invisible.

    I thought skyscrapers attracted maximum attention. But maybe I am wrong...

    P.S. jrd1mra thanks for the article link.

    I am changing the writing on the website to first person because it sounds more trustworthy. Strangely enough, when I started I though writing in first person might disadvantage my site vis a vis big companies.

    I am changing the number in the links to page names.

    Interestingly I did not know anything about online forums till I got stuck with adsense and started looking for a solution but I mean to keep reading what you guys are writing and have written earlier, before I start on my next site.

    hi

    1) try to make less wide your site
    2) your meta tag goes before mouse over script
    3) try to increase your link popularity
    4) we are in 2006 so we must have to wait, those gone success like yahoo, dmoz because they started in almost 5 to 10 years before.

    VERY IMP: Do not get nervous, nothing comes in life very fast and if comes that will go away from you very fast too.

    submit your site to us
