I really want to improve the look of my website. I think the overall look of my site sucks. I would really appreciate if a experienced web designer could look over my site and give a newbie a few suggestions. My site is www.doyoureview.com. They will not link here yet so you will have to copy paste. Thanks for your time and sorry for the inconvenience but I am stuck and I really need some help..
you designed to earn from adsense but tell you the ads appearing under "4 Minute Money" tittle are with image on left is against Adsense TOS
First off, you have more ads than you do content. I'd say 90% of users will close your site right off the bat thinking it's spam. Either remove some of them or blend them in. Second, you don't have a header. It took me a few seconds to identify the name of your site. The site's description looked like a post so my eyes tend to skip over it. I'd recommend you not place it into a post-like design and find some way to draw attention. Third, you need some form of navigation; people do not like to scroll.
G'day There You really need a header with a title. You have quite a good URL, as it is easy to remember. You should be reinforcing this when people come to your site. Your title should also include a breif description that explains what your site is about, kind of like a slogan. Aart from the bottom of the page, where hardly anyone goes to, you have no navigation. You need to have navigation near the top, either across the top or down the left hand side. I have no idea what your blog is about, and I have been looking at it for 2 minutes. Does your site have a purpose, or is it to just try and flog some ads off. Is the site about "Rich Jerk" or is that just and ad? Overall our site does look quite professional, but you need to focus more on content and less on ads. Cheers
A header with a title would be my only suggestion. I think otherwise the site looks good design wide, just get rid of a few ads.
Here's my take on the site.... Like they mentioned above add some type of header and you could add a navigation right under it which would lead visitors to other pages on your site with more content then which is on the main page. Either that or remove one of the ads from the left or right and put in some links, maybe some type of script, graphic or something that would catch eyes and draw them in. If you haven't already submit it to directories and search engines and create more pages then the few you have. Try writing some original content and adding them to article pages with keywords, meta tags/descriptions, etc. That way your site will hopefully have more indexed pages with Google. As well someone said above try to limited the ads and add more content because it will likely look like a spam site. Otherwise the colors and overall layout look very nice, pleasing to the eye.
Well the design of the website also matters a lot. See my website myfullneeds.com I know, Its design is not good. But I am good in getting traffic for it. So unattractive design is also working well for me. I know only basic html. I do not any other computer language, even them I am successfully running it. My website also contains many ads, but even then it is working fine for me and giving me good results as for as the investment is concerned if we take it from business point of view also. What I suggest is that do not get disheartened even if the design of your site is as attractive as desired by you. Do some excellent marketing of your website. Then slowly, you can improve upon many things side by side.
I just created the top menu and I am working on the top header thanks for the advice everyone. I really appreciate it.
I just received my header from my designer and I think it turned out great. What do you think? I still need to come up with a slogan though.. Once again, thanks everyone.
I am thinking about putting rss feeds on my homepage. Would this make my site rank better if I did so. What are the best rss feeds.
