    I made this site around 2 months ago, and asked on here what needed improving. I got loads of suggestions and took some up. I now get a fair bit of traffic and a nice daily earning from the site, but I want to get some ideas from you if you think I could improve the site even further?

    The site is www.premiershipglory.com/

    Cheers :)

    Nice and clean layout, I like it. To get some more attention/traffic, you should put some work into manually submitting the website to search engines and directories. In your latest post ("Football Rumours", January 2nd, 2008), you use a little to much bold font for my taste, which makes it overall harder to read. Use bold/italic fonts sparingly.

    I'd decrease the "Links" font size to the same size as the rest of the sidebar. Maybe you can write a small sentence about each link, as the titles alone don't express much. Why do you link them? What do you like about them? Also, personally, less is more in that respect - choose a few really important sites to link there, or display 5 randomly selected links (including description) on each page load.

    I like - it is very clean and organized.

    Seems to be well though out. I don't usually like sites with a black background, but you really made it work.

    Very impressive Blog !

    Like>>
    Header is just awesome - very impressive - I liked it very Much!
    I liked the content,
    Loading time ok!
    color combination fabulous!
    oppening fine with I.E & Firefox.
    Ads Placement is Good But if you will place that ad unit B/w the post title and the content then It will really reflects more earning !

    Dislike>>
    Hover effects in the Blogroll Links is not that Good - Especially when the cursor navigate on the Link then Link just faded on - Make it some strong & catchy!

    Over all I like the Blog & theme very much - Best of Luck !!

    Regards,
    MicroBrain.

    Thanks for your comments, I submit daily to directories and the site is moving slowly up the search engines for its main keyword. I don't like submitting to search engines, I tend to let them find me.
    I will look at removing the bold font as much as I do, but like you say will continue to put it in every now and then.
    For the links part on the homepage, if I did put a description as well it would make the sidebar quite wide and disjointed so I usually just add link descriptions on my links page :)

    Thanks for your comments and I will PM you shortly.

    Thanks everyone else for the comments on the site :)

    Perhaps you should have the Links in the same font/format as the rest of the links?
    You could probably use the adsense a little better too - it seems hidden where it is now.
    Apart from that, really like what you're doing! Well done!

    Yup, I agree, they do look out of place to the rest of the sidebar in terms of font size and style. Will look into chaning the font style and size.
    Thanks for your comments

    It looks pretty good, but you may want to remove the FeedBurner box that states you have 2 readers. I have found that this usually makes the blog look like no one is interested in it. No sense letting people know how small you really are. Once you have more readers, you can show those stats.

    Just a thought, not a necessity.

    Thanks for the kind comments. I added another adsense link unit on the sidebar at the top, does it look out of place or does it blend ok?

    Good design, colours well choosen. The image on the top is superb!

    Google Ads well dissimulated... but that does not help navigation.

    Content seems ok and updated.. get more visitors ;)
