Hi all, First of I would like to say thanks for viewing this thread and I encourage all feedback on the site you will review. Ok now onto the site. My friend started a website www.beatzknockin.com not that long ago (its actually his first website and hes very excited about it). Basically he doesnt know that much about web design since he is new to everything, so I set up a forum and did all the colors and logos for it. I basically set all the stuff up and now he runs it all. Im not the greatest logo maker but I am pleased with it. Also the colors on the site are meant to look more urban as the theme of the site is hip hop and rap discussion. Please take a look and give feedback. I would really appreciate it. Thank you
HideIP, I like the overall design. However, a couple changes you might consider. 1. Get rid of that forced ad view until you have content that people need or want badly enough to sit through the ad redirect. 2. Make the url's search friendly. 3. Make your ads relevant to your site. You can rotate aff links in banner rotation that at least relate, (MP3 players, ringtone downloads, etc). That's about all for now. Best of luck, David
TTTLTT, thanks for your comments. I will change the ads as soon as I can as I basically just set them up in a hurry to see how they would work etc. As for url's what do you mean? Like instead of www. @@@@@@@@@ .com maybe mask them and write "Example Site" and then if you click on that its the link? Thanks again for your feedback.
No problem. I mean try using the following structure: http://www.beatzknockin.com/this-is-a-topic/this-is-a-thread-in-the-topic So, every time a new topic or thread is created, the url is human readable and thus SEO friendly. See the following example in my blog: http://thistakestoolongtotype.com/miami-dolphins-lose-in-overtime-to-bye-week/ The forum seems to be adding dots in the URL's I'm posting. Let me know if you have trouble deciphering what I mean. Best regards, David
Hi, The site isn't that bad however I seriously think you should look for a new Logo design. I had to look at it for a few seconds before I knew what it said. Also the ad was Annoying. Other than that not a bad concept. Good Luck
Thanks for tuning me in TTTLTT. I'll have to see what I can do about that to fix it. akshay, thanks for the feedback. asterik, K I'll have to look into it. I kinda made it in about 5 minutes as something something that fits the whole urban/hip hop theme. not really good at making them so I will try to draft up another one tophatter, thanks I will try to make a new one. Thanks so much guys for the helpful feedback. It really goes a long way towards making the site more user friendly and successful. Thanks again.
