For my travel blog. Made some changes in the last couple of days and I could really use any help you can give, will also rep.
My comment on the layout comes only from the point of a casual reader. I don't like the upper navigation menu. Has a very 90's, commercial feel to it. Otherwise very aggressive adsense positioning. This can act as a turn off to potential readers, but it will also probably increase CTR. Mixed feelings here. As for the content, I would honestly watch paint dry rather than keep reading. No offense intended, but anyone laying his/hers eyes on it would probably think the same. Now of course, if you only wanted to design a pull-push adsense site than you are spot on, but if you intend to build a solid reader base you need a new writer. Hope this helps. Regards, George
Thanks for your input. The current 'writer' (my dad) is only a temporary solution, cause I don't have enough time to post daily. I'm aware of his lame writing skills, but still he is better than a plugin. I will take down the adsense that is inside the posts tomorrow, only wanted to see how it performs!
the website is great... I like the pictures and the blog design, but the main colors can be changed... think about that, hope that was useful
Was a bit hard finding this thread, but here goes...after 4 months and half..A new design..also improved the quality of content. So, what do you say?
The text on your right column needs to come down a bit on my pc.. also the google ads are grainy for some reason, while all the text is fine...
