    Hi DPer's

    I would love a review of a new site that I purchased recently.

    It is a proxy site: www.removeblockz.com

    Any input would be great.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    I don't know what I'm looking at, but it looks like it's under construction...

    I has the look of a parked page with ads. I would consider adding more information at the top, abobe the ads, about what you do.

    Good Luck

    They're right. There's just too much ad usage in there, and even the actual content (the brief blurb in the blue box) is easy to pass over as more ads.

    From what I see, the website doesn't have many backlinks or anything as of yet... And it's incomplete.. At least it actually has an Alexa rank, buried as it may be at 1549860. No PR though.

    Finally, if you can remove the powered by free proxy templates link (which currently shows up as hacked) and the powered by free proxy templates branding on the page.

    I seriously hope you didn't pay for it under the impression that it's a well set up site.

    To be blunt, I look at that site and I see the special car on a used car lot. The one that only one side of it is kept in the sunlight during the day; the one they wash just before you drive it so the scratches don't sh- I mean, it's shiny. Also, hear how smoothly it runs? It's not because we drove it around for an hour to get the engine warmed up and weird sewing machine sound balanced out.

    I'd recommend taking back some of your lost space by actually putting up a description as to what a proxy site is, how to use it, etc. Let the advertisements take a backseat. I understand they're what you plan to make money with, but most visitors will look at your site and think it's only there to advertise to them, period. They will run as fast as they can, less they be molested by a wall of popups and wind up curled up in a corner, sobbing because their computer is so infected with adware it won't boot up anymore.

    Not that I'm saying that's your intent, or what the website would do. Nono, rather, it looks like that kind of site.

    Only thing i can comment on at the moment is way to hard to find the URL box as it is kind of hidden when it should be standing out lots.

    Nice website. However, I thought that there is too much ads with not much contents....
    It might be against google TOC is the webpage is purely on their ads with no content....

    When I clicked on Cookie management, it seems like it is not yet working. As such, you might want to consider remove it until you have done something...

    As for the free template option, it seems like you link it to another website.... With that, I think there is not much content in this website. Believed that you are earning through ads or goolge adsense.
