    Hello everyone,

    Can you please review: www.seekopia.com.
    It's been live for a few weeks now. What do you think I should add to entice more visitors to sign up?

    I'm constantly adding more and more features so let me know if you have any ideas :)

    Marc

    great design, very bubbly. Great logo and favicon. Question - no ads on the front page?

    Not yet, no! I had added a few but they just cluttered the design - I would like to add though - Any suggestions?

    i would suggest a box ad on the right in between featured and latest posts and maybe a vertical banner on the left.

    The design looks good, and the idea behind the site is good too! :)
    The only thing I'm not sure of is the alignment of the labels on the right sidebar... any reason they're aligned to the right? And if there is a good reason, maybe you should consider aligning the title of that label widget to the right as well...
    Good luck with the new site!

    i've been there. i am also a member there for more than a month. i have published two articles. one thing was that...users cant actually locate it when they try to view their own article.

    try to become a user for awhile and youll notice it..

    Thanks for your comments!

    Enhu: thanks for your feedback - I will work on making it easily for members to find their own articles. :) Just for now however, you can always access your articles at http://username.seekopia.com (which is your own blog). So, if you want to see your 2 articles, simply visit your blog and they're there.

    iser77: I'm not quite sure which labels you're talking about - They might be showing differently to what I'm seeing (maybe different browser?). Are you talking about "featured post" and "latest posts" widgets?

    Thanks again :)
    Marc

    I would disagree about adding ads on the home page just yet, I think you should have a good dedicated membership volume before you start advertising. Just my opinion.

    Thanks guys!

    littleprayerbox: I must agree with you. Unfortunately, the project is self-funded for now so any extra cash I can make from advertising will be extremely helpful!

    Yeah, you're right - In fact, I have so many more ideas for homepage widgets which I have not added because of space! Unfortunately, I can't really remove anything because it will reduce the site's functionality :(

    Yes, I need to add one - Google has indexed 584 pages which is about right, more or less.

    Thanks :) I have just added an XML sitemap too, and RSS feeds. This should hopefully start increasing my traffic.
