    Hey Everyone. i would love it if you could take a look at my site and give it a review. What im really looking to get out of this is this. People have said that if i want to make a video site keep it really really simple... im afraid it looks to simple now and no one wants to stay. Also i have cpalead set up. its the best way i could think of to make some money. and i can take it down for a little if you would like but i kinda wanted to have someone let me know what its like from a regular visitor perspective. I have had the site up for about 1 1/2 months but have had VERY litle conversions....please help me change this!

    All comments are welcome but please dont be too mean :)

    Like your blog logo. But what if you could remove those Ads from your home page?

    yea i can easily remove the ads. I cant really do to much about the videos loading. because they are all embedded so... How can i give more incentive on getting people to complete the surveys in order to watch the episodes?

    The only suggestion i have is that the meta tags look like they need some work but overall site not bad. hard to find in a search unless you know the exact address. email us at tektonpower.com if you have any questions on reworks or site optimization.

    Yes you have to fill out the survey to watch the episodes but you only need to o it once to gain access to all the episodes for a lifetime. I will try to make loading times faster but i cant promise it will happen. I am having a lot of people click to take the survey but they rarely complete it...does it have anything to do with ym site??? Are the incentives not good enough?

    looks kind of catchy...don't know about the adsense though...it's pretty aggressive in it's integration. maybe on the right instead.

    Love your simple style of the site. Great job.
    but there are two opinion of mine below:
    1. a bit slow
    2. too few content

    i plan on adding a lot more content such as more images and information to the first section of the site. I am not going to add anymore info to the episodes section of the site. I think that i am going to move the adsense to be on the left side of the homepage and take it off showing up at the top of every post.

    I would replace the header with an image background instead a solid black.

    I think the time it takes for the premium content page to show up is too short. If you can somehow make it longer then people would already be watching the episodes and perhaps it would want to make them complete the offer OR it could just make them leave your site (that's a high possibility).

    You should also add more content like others here have said and by the way, the colors are pretty cool. Did you know that blue, black and white (the same order) are the 3 colors of our flag here in Estonia? :)

    Maybe it should be a bit clearer that you must partake in the survey before you can watch episodes?

    It`s a very good idea, many people likes this actor, me too, its good idea to share all seasons but not as you done it, I think you will earn much more if you will share it for free , you should consider adsense optimalisation. I think not many people want to pay for this if they have possibility to get it for free, it is very easy to find.

    i liked the site, pretty good design - only annoying thing was that you HAVE to take the survey in order to watch.. why not change it so after the episode if it pops up?

    other than that its all good - house fan here :)

    The problem with not forcing the survey to be taken is than 99.9% of people wont take the survey if there is an option. I like the idea of delaying the survey so that people can watch a little bit of the episode but again the trouble is getting them to complete it. Changing the header to an image is also a good idea.......and no i had no idea it was the color of your flag LuckySamurai :) What im going to do is add a popup along with the survey that explains directions on what to do but i dont want the hompage to have directions they are already in the about page. I have adsense running but have made no money at all.. i have made nearly $11 this month from the surveys...without changing anything im looking to get to about $20 to $25 a month
