    Hi,

    www weightlosstrainer net

    Please review my site and give any suggestions or comments that you wish. I take constructive criticism pretty well and try to improve on it instead of defend what I have done.

    Would really like some insight on how I can improve my SEO.



    Thanks

    Hello there,

    Here is my review:

    Domain:
    (+) nice 3 word name
    (+) .net name (better would be .com)

    Website Layout:
    (+) very nice color scheme (brown/maroon/white)
    (+) profesional banner
    (-) buttons could improve the layout

    Website Content:
    (+) unique content (good for search engines)
    (+) some of the article titles overlap with the text content
    (-) article look a little "splattered" on the page
    (-) not all links are active and some do not contain information


    Basically, you have the main structure of a good website/blog. In my opinion you just need to fine tune it by adding more content, banners and some more features.
    I am really feeling the color scheme and layout.

    Good luck in the future,

    Gerrit

    I really appreciate your review and will take what you said into consideration.

    I am planning to come up with a new button method as I agree those do look a little odd.

    Not all links are active just yet as I'm still adding unique content to the site.

    Can you please show me what links do not contain any information?

    Also, can you please explain what you mean by: "article look a little "splattered" on the page"


    Any more reviews would really be appreciated.

    Thanks

    First impressions.

    - try a background on the menu navigation.
    - Align side menu to the left side of the page
    - gradients on the menu buttons do not look great (in my opinion)
    - header is a bit large, the brown on the right and below the logo on the far right of the header is probably not needed.
    - on the left side of "weight loss - an introduction" you have a thin line/sepearator, get rid of this and bring it in line with the content below it.

    Hope this is some help.
