Hey everyone, I thought it would be cool if I could get some feedback on my site. I know (at the moment) the design varies a bit from one section to the next so I am not overly concerned with the rest of the site for the moment. What I could really use is some honest advice on the blog for my fashion site Crockstar: http://crockstarlimited.com/blog I am really just concerned with increasing traffic to the site and was wondering if you all might have some advice on what I could do to increase readership. Any top-level advice is appreciated! And, specificaly if you know of places that might be good to submit my articles that I haven't though of yet (outside of Reddit, Digg, etc) I would really appreciate it! Thanks a lot for all your help and I am always happy to return the favor
Hi Crockstar - This site seems to be for a particular niche. On first entry, it seems a little boring - I think you should go with a lighter template with more images. Also, you've got a lot of great content and you should submit to the bigger article directories to get links back to your site. Overall, I give it 2 stars out of 5.
Thanks very much for your input adublin! Would you mind suggesting a few specific directories? I have tried to submit it to a few but I am not sure which ones are considered to be the larger directories. Thanks again! Any more input from other folks? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Nice site and I find it special. Why? Because March 25, 2010 is my birthday this year. And it will be open on that day Anyway, I love the design and them used. That's the design I want also.
your website about fashion, should your website design templates to be very stylish. make your website template with graphics or a combination of an attractive image
The content is fun, but I agree with adublin that you need to shine some light on it! Dark sites are hard to read and you'll probably get a lot of people "bouncing", that is they'll land on your site and immediately leave.
I agree with the above posters, I would lighten it up. The content is really fun and fun content needs a fun background or brighter colors. My first assumption on opening the page was that it might be grunge fashion.
Thanks very much for the help everyone! It looks like step one is definitely to lighten up the colors a bit. Anyone have any suggestions of nice / light templates they've seen lately that haven't been overplayed? I know that's a specific request but I would definitely appreciate some suggestions
nice color balancing, if u increase the brightness of ur color scheme - ur site would be better sorry for broken English
The content is really good, so you got a great foundation I would lighten the colours I would add a twitter and facebook or myspace buttons (rather than text links) to widen your networking reach. I would also check out using some good wordpress plugins that enhance your content - e.g. related posts (have related content under every post) , wp-sticky (easily put your best/most viewed articles at the top of page) Also having niche related content from other sites delivered in a widget. Start making alliances and aggregating content (relevant) from other locations. create a hub page or a squidoo lens on an item linking back to your blog
