Hi, Just wanted to get some feedback on my new site, http://www.ABCDList.Net. I haven't started marketing it yet, and I'm still working out some glitches (I'm having issues w/ how the site looks w/ different browsers), but what do you think of the concept? Also, any feedback on Ad placement would be helpful. Thanks! http://www.ABCDList.Net
you have some problems in the columns under a,b,c and d list. Also content is non existant. Design is ok but it seems it is only made for adsense clicks.
Urm, the website structure is good, but there is a lack of design . That google ad in the middle, the big skyscraper just kills the site , remove it if you want to have some succes with it . Best regards, Iulian
In terms of content, I'm adding pictures as I type this. I might have 1000's of celebs to rate at some point. A forum is also planned. I just put up a blog, which is in process, empty at the moment. It's not meant to be a site laden with articles and such. The idea, obviously, comes from hotornot and sites like that. Not much content on there. The skyscraper is too big. Agreed.
Before you start adding content, just pay for a great design or do it yourself . It`s not good to upload the site when you don`t have a good design . When an visitors enters and sees that google skyscraper , he will defenetly not come back again . You need a good design to atract people to stay not to leave . Hope i helped. Best regards, Iulian
So, other than make that tower much smaller, what else catches you eye as "bad". Thanks for the feedback.
classmatesguy, took a while (miss first click) to understand how the site works. The first time you enter the site it's a little bit messed up and it makes it even difficult to get it. I think that the blog should keep the site's design to be more user friendly. Regards, Marcelo
What are you supposed to click on when the "Tell all your friends about this site" pic comes up instead of a celebrity? Doesn't make sense to me. If you want to still have that in there, which I can understand its need, you should change from the celeb scoring to like a "next celeb" button or something. Otherwise, I think your site is a great idea!
OK, the idea is pretty good. I think you should get rid of the black background though and maybe put a thin border around the photos and get them in the absolute centre of the screen. Could you use regular buttons instead of radio buttons for the selection?
Guys, great feedback!! Marcelo, if you are using IE7.0, the first picture is indeed messed up. We're working on a fix. Try viewing on FireFox for now. Firegirl. I've modified those pictures with a "select any rating to see next celeb" Bogtab, I'm looking at doing a dark grey background for the area below the voting boxes encompassing the picture.
I agree that the site's ads need to be rethought, but I like the idea of the site, it is fun. Bradford
I've got some small text ads now, 468x15 and a 120x90. I do think I have to use text ads only as picture ads would start confusing visitors. The forum will be added in the next week or so. The main thing is getting more pictures up because voters get duplicates pretty quick with 139 celebs on there.
You need to revamp your designs mate... I am not a designer but as a layman I think I would prefer to see some white or some light colours on the webpage..... the text is too small...... good luck
WHOA, my site was mentioned on a local radio show this morning!!!!!!! Hits are going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
