Hi, I´ve learned a lot from this forums in the making of my first blog. Please give me tips on what to improve, thanks. the site is http://www.repegados.com and is about mmo games written in spanish.
I'd say firstly, your ads are kind of in the 'shadow zone', or area where users generally don't visit a whole lot (the right hand of the side, and 'below the fold' on your front page. If you can, try making a "left column" sort of area for the vertical skyscraper? I get 5-6x more hits on my skyscrapers on the left than on the right. Also, maybe consider a 250x250 square on your longer blog posts? These generally have great click-through rates due to them being 'front-and-center'. Also, totally aside, while trying to read the longer article, the red gradients on either side kind of drove my eyes nuts. Red isn't a very MMO-ish color, in my opinion - you might try black, forest green, something else - maybe even a well-done game wallpaper or something, with shaded/lightened overlay so not to be too distracting? Or maybe something even more RPG-ish, look at the World of Warcraft site for examples... Anyways, just my few ideas.
Thanks Telmari, I will take your recommendations into consideration. I hope I get more replies like yours, it will really help me develop the site.
i agree about what telmari said , one more thing the logo needs work , and in the source the "<meta name="description" " is repeated , the colors are great the adds too are like a tictak bombs hidden very good , but need a good postiton TvDomain
Thanks TvDomain for the description tip, I didn´t see a doubled php tag, I think that came with the original template. Well, 2 am and I did drastical template changes, so please review again. I think Logo and header needs the most work, but I need to work on some idea.
