    Hey Guys,
    I just started in november with an idea to make a directory of high quality trading related services.

    At this time i had no idea of programming, websites hosting etc.
    started to read tutorials and ended up diving head first in drupal cms.
    Today i work fluently with drupal, got some insight on html, css and php and going deeply in seo.

    Im trading on my own for 3 years, i got to know the right people on the start so i never sucked in a magic robot or supersystem.

    However, the goal of this website (pipboost.com) to provide a comparison source for high quality trading related services that have a high reputation and/or a proven track record of success.

    2 weeks ago i started the second website (broker-list.com) to compare online trading brokers, with some luck i got this nice domain name.
    The domain broker-list.com is rapidly moving up the searchengines for the targeted keywords :)

    take it as an example what somebody can do without having any idea of internet marketing.


    just leave me your comments, critics, compliments and ideas....

    Yeah I agree. The visual part needs some tweaking. People are very particular on the aesthetics.

    At first glance without reading your description of what your site does as a service I was not immediately sure what it was all about. I would suggest a better site description on the landing page. Also a higher quality (resolution) logo could be used to help promote the idea of professionalism. Keep up the good work.

    Make a better logo, make it XHTML 1.0 Strict! valid & CSS level 2.1 valid.
    Include in the robots.txt your sitemap.xml
    for "© 2010 pipboost.com" use this: &copy; <?php echo date("Y");?> pipboost.com

    Thanks to everybody who has replied!

    I take your comments very seriusly, please don`t be shy - tell me exactly what you think because thats the to improve.

    The Logo will be fixed today.

    The reason i held these sites so clean is when i look for information on something, i don`t like to get irritated by stuff that is simply not useful.

    If you have specific ideas on the design, please let me know, theres almost anything possible from theming to widgets.

    best regards,
    mic

    For the first time it is very good. You could change colors and make it more attractive, and change typography.
    Good luck!!!

    I think you need to change your Drupal themes as they are not professional looking.Moreover Economic Calendar is very ugly

    I agree, it is too busy and cluttered with small stuff. Need to make it smoother and more professional looking to get attention.
