    This is my site that I would like to have someone review and give me their opinion for SEO and Look or any other suggestions they may have. It's built for adsense.

    DMV Driving Test


    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hello, overal layout is pretty good, I dont like a few things thou -
    1. the slider images in the top are not clickable, they should lead to some subpage or call for action page for sure
    2. the adsense ad in the middle pretty ruins that part of the page, it might get clicks but the design is hurting by it
    3. same goes for the states subpages, the ads ruin the way it looks.
    4. url structure for the states subpages, http://www.dmvdrivingexam.com/category/dmv-locations/co/ - instead of CO I would use Colorado

    All in all it looks like a decent site with some info, the content is pushed a bit down with the ads IMO, but you might get away with it. I know its good for higher CTR but I also know google is sometimes too picky with sites like this.

    Thanks! I will review and make some changes. Traffic is more important to me right now than CTR...Right now it's getting about 20-40 visits per day and CTR isn't very high, so I'll make the changes and see what happens.

    I assume you're going for "dmv driving exam?" Try increasing the use of that phrase on your page. Also, on my version of Chrome (Ubuntu Linux), the last tab "Regular Drivers License" is pushed onto the next line.

    Yes, and a few other keywords...That's my main, which it has been placing in both the 1st and 2nd page of google search.


    " the last tab "Regular Drivers License" is pushed onto the next line. "
    Im trying to figure that out...With my computer explorer and firefox work, even tried on the ipad and it works good too. but for somereason, sometimes it does get pushed down. I can't figure that out.

    nice Site.. lots of content.. but i got 2 things i would personally change..
    maybe just one Banner just on the right.. on both sides looks too much..
    and second.. i would change the order of the categories on top.. from most relavent to less ..
    the first cat is Auto financing.. so made me wonder what you are actually promoting on your site.. just my opinion..

    Thanks, for your suggestions...I changed the order...I wasn't aware I could do that so I installed a plugin and had a quick fix. I'm trying to find out what side gets clicked more right now. Not sure what to do on the right side yet...Testing other methods.
