Hello I'm Sean, a developer in the UK that has come up with a free, effective, ethical and genuine Link/Traffic/Content exchange with a quirky twist. As Im sure everyone at DigitalPoint knows, Banner exchanges and Link exchanges have all been done before and mostly very poorly, so I have set up a 1:1 exchange system that doesn't make false claims and has integrity. What's unique is Websites and Blogs can benefit, by not only exchanging links, but doing so either via the popular web badges (80x15 antipixel button) and/or text links. Also users can cross promote actual Pages/Posts, so actually you are exchanging related content as well as Traffic/Links. Every new Site/Page or Blog/Post added into the network is manually checked by me within hours as well as every hit, to ensure the utmost integrity! You will recognise the little PixBloxes, they say a picture is a thousand words, a PixBlox is 1200 pixels! Text links are also supported. Both can easily and instantly be built with my cutting edge Web 2.0 Ajax tools. Anyway enough of my background rundown rambles... Please check it out: http://www.link-blox-exchange.com The site has just recently gone live, and I would be very grateful for you to apply your wisdom to my site and kindly share your honest opinions. ideally please get involved and join, if you let me know you have joined through DigitalPoint I will give you an additional 200 credits (visitors) bonus. I look forward for reading your views. Many thanks, Sean Creator: http://www.link-blox-exchange.com
I'd start by getting rid of the annoying popups... ...in terms of design, id sort out you're header section and remove the green section and 10 second icon and text... this will shift your main content further up the page. Ultimately there is too much information, too many buttons... it just needs to be a little less complex and more straight forward; take a look at the competitor sites and see what they offer that you don't (both in terms of service and design). Best of luck.
I agree with removing the pop ups... at least in till you generate a big enough fallowing to advertise them to. The design is nice in terms of the colors but it is a little too tight. I would recommend just opening up the site a bit by making your page longer or have fewer links on the main page. You could even conceder to using a bigger text. Good luck
A noble site. Human-friendly sites will always be in the top. You should change those header bricks with something more plain.
