Please Review My Football Score Prediction Website

Discussion in 'Websites' started by adzeds, Jul 31, 2010.

    I have today launched a football score prediction site that aims to predict the outcomes and likely results of football matches.

    The site will be handy for people who like to bet on football (soccer) matches.

    It would be great it you guys could test and review it and let me know your thoughts.

    Here is the site:
    Football Score Predictor & Betting Advice

    Thanks in advance, feel free to criticize the parts you don't like so I can try and improve the site.

    I like the header image. I think the ad in the center might be a tad too big: it kind of takes away from the content a bit in my opinion, and could put some people off.

    How does your script work to predict the score? I'd also say you should add some more specific articles to the tips section.

    Is there much action on league two games? haha. That might be the only way to make them interesting. I support Sheffield Wednesday, though, so we might end up there soon enough...

    Is there any more content? Unless you add a forum or something similar you are going to struggle to get good SERPs, because the content is so low.

    Also I think you should add something on there about some random predictions, so people can see at a glance what you are on about.

    I am a bit upset... Arsenal 2 Tottenham 0..... you are having a laugh.

    @ajwalsh: Yeah, i was thinking that ad might be a bit big, will downsize it. The script is based on an algorithm that I have been developing and testing for around 2 years, it works but looking for patterns in data. Whilst taking into account form, previous meetings between the teams, the level of the teams and much more. I will be adding more content this week ahead of the new season. As it is a blog I can easily post up predictions for the coming week etc to keep the content fresh.

    @createdevelop: Yeah, it is using Wordpress as its platform so I can add articles a couple of times a week. Like the idea of a couple of random predictions. Also could show the upcoming games in each league.

    Thanks for the pointers guys, will get to work on these today and hopefully you will take another look once the I have made them and let me know what you think.

    If anyone else has any opinions feel free to share.

    This website looks great. I like the theme and header. but the text at header... try giving your title just a few color. maybe small bright logo

    I would say bring more colours in, for example text can be red or any other complimentary colour to your dark black theme. I would suggest using rotating header images, that way your site will look more interesting.

    Great idea, but for the league matches, you should list the predictions for each gameweek, not make the user pick the teams manually.

    @Vindrome:
    Yeah, I am going to have a blog as well that posts updates each week for the weekends games.

    It just allows people to have a little go themselves and predict results from other games if they wish to!

    I have added some social media buttons to the main content pages now!

    Hopefully that will help to spread the word.

    Will be adding more content to the pages today!

    Interesting concept, I would try simplifying the design, just have the two team boxes and display the score

    You think the design is to complicated?

    I would say that it is very very basic!!

    Don't think there is a problem with the text in the meantime.
