    i love the layout and funny clips are always good. my only suggestion is to make your own domain and not go for a free blog. you will make more money in the long run

    You need to get someone to proof read your text.
    At present you only have 6 videos - and I'm sure they are just a collection from elsewhere. To make your site worth anything the clips should be your own otherwise I can just search on youtube for "fail".

    The copyright is out of date.
    But it is basically a blogger site with a bad skin. You can do better than that.

    Design looks nice, but you really need more content. Also as said above, use a spell checker (makes you look professional).

    In the excerpt I noted it wasn't spelling that was at fault but basic English grammar. If English is a problem then target a population group whose language you are more comfortable with. If I had another language as my first/only language I'd be thoroughly fed up by the English dominance in websites.

    So guys, those are the things I have to do:

    1. Use a Spell Cheker
    2. Change the copyright date - done.
    3. '""You need to get someone to proof read your text.
    Do you got any funny pictures or videos?
    At present you only have 6 videos - and I'm sure they are just a collection from elsewhere. To make your site worth anything the clips should be your own otherwise I can just search on youtube for "fail".'""

    I didn't understand this one, can you explain it to me please?

    You've got too many ads on the right rail. Otherwise, it's a nice site.

    it's nice. Just change the text on the top that says "Recent articles" to "Recently added" or something like that because you're not posting articles.

    Overall I like the look although the right side is extremely busy and kind of takes away from the content

    Get your own domain name.
    Move to Wordpress.
    Get a good website Host.
    Create a logo.
    Update daily and share on social networks.
    Don't expect to earn much at all.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for help guys!
    What do you think about the site's name?

    "Don't expect to earn much at all." Why's that mate? :)

    The domain name is ok. It is available to purchase, but at the same time it is limiting you to only posting fails.
    And if you're only going to post fails then FailBlog might be a big competitor to you.

    You wont make much money since advertising networks such as Google and so on only pays like $0.1 at most for each click on your ads.
    If you do not have a big account at social networks such as StumbleUpOn you might be heading thowards a big fail with this site
    since there is just too much competition.

    Why don't you have a facebook "like" button on the videos? Facebook fan page?

    Also, definately agree with the others, if you want to get serious, spend a couple dollars on domain and hosting (you can buy a domain on sale for a couple bucks, get some cheap $5 hosting and install wordpress for free and end up with a much better result). You might end up putting a lot of work into this, start to get some success and blogger will delete your blog and there is nothing you can do about it because you do not own your blog.

    I was afraid someone will come and say what you are saying right now to me.
    I tought the competition won't be so big, failbog inspired me, but I know now, my blog is a FAIL.

    Thanks for opening my eyes.
    I really don't know what should I do next. Thinking about making a wordpress site. But what niche, what my site will be about? Decisions, decisions...
