Can you please check out my site www.house2homelv.com. This is my first actual website. I think it is ok, but I need to get some more content on it. I am starting to get traffic from MSN, but nothing from google . I have submitted to a bunch of directories, but the links haven't really shown up. I also have a blog in my signature that I'm still trying to decide which direction I want to go with. I started just to get some links to my site, but now I'm thinking about trying to make some money off of it. I'm not scared of criticism, so lay it on me.
it's not bad at all for your first site. My initial impression, when I first opened the page was "Spam". Under normal circumstances, I would have hit the back button within 5 seconds. May I suggest you lose the buzzwords "Buy now" etc, or at least, the massive font. It's the massive font that makes it look spammy. Subtle is best Good luck.
Hmmm... Looks pretty clean for your first site. And just a question about your logo in the top hand corner of your page. I like the idea of being different, but than something about it just doesnt settle right. Maybe it having the appearance of hand drawn. I guess it is alright. Since it is not the first thing I am drawn to when your site comes up. The big bold red lettering is a nice touch and draws one in to read further down.
Congratulations on your first site. Looks good, and I like the phrase about turning the house into a home. Compared with my first site it looks very professional.
Nice first site. I agree with W. Martin that it has a bit of a "Spam" feel to it, and a bit more subtleness would help. Bravo on the first site! Good luck!
You have got pretty high PR on your home page, how long have your site been out there and how did you achieve it? The site looks pretty good in all
I think I first uploaded it in February. I have just been submitting to directories, I have a blog with the same PR that links to it. And I have some ads on craigslist, which always get indexed. Plus I think I got lucky.
