Review my brand new site, $avepoint

    Please tell me what you think of my new site, it is a shopping comparison, which I have been working on for a couple of weeks, it is not completely done though. I am thinking about a launch in a couple of days!

    http://savepoint.istores.com/

    It will be located at savepoint.biz :)

    It's a bit to white! The 'v' in the logo is hard to read and so is the blue writing in the menu. I also think you should make a snazzy box to go around the search box to replace the border=1 on the table it is in at the moment.

    Is it possible to NOT go with the .biz domain??? People generally think they are tacky.

    Nice site overall.

    Yeah, I will be working on it and hopefully it will be done in a few days. I was thinking about adding some more color including a border for the search box. Also the logo is not permanent.

    have some green for the good review :)

    I think the font on the tabs can be dark blue instead (so it's easier to read) and also, maybe a new font style for the logo so it's more legible?

    I agree with the other posters. It is a nice Idea, maybe look at the sites you are promoting for and copy their techniques.

    thanks for the input.

    I am proud to say that I am planning a launch of my new site sometime today

    and yes, I have stuck with the .biz address :)

    Does anyone know if I could advertise using the dollar sign, as in $avepoint?? I don't know if that would be good for SEO.

    I only see ads on the site, I would add more content of course :p Also, the header will look much nicer once you add text to it.

    of course I have moved the site to the .biz address. But I don't want to link to it in this thread :)

    Something very funny happened when I was evaluating your site :p

    As I was critiquing it, I happened to see a product I wanted, and began to
    compare prices! I actually forgot what I was there for, and began to use your
    site as a typical user :D

    You should be happy with that! I was so impressed, that I came up with the
    meta tags you're missing! These meta tags include keywords that search
    engines will use when crawling your site. I've also included a HTML
    DOCTYPE, and corrected the style block. Simply cut and paste this into the
    head (very top portion) of your pages:

    SO, replace this:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Home</title>
    <STYLE TYPE="text/css">
    <!--
    TD {font-family:Verdana}-->
    </STYLE>
    <STYLE TYPE="text/css">
    <!--
    BODY {SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR:#00aaff;SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR:#a3daf5;SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR:#aaaaaa;SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR:#cccccc; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR:#ffffff; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR:#a3daf5; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR:#000000};
    -->
    </STYLE>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/i/ui/4002412/i/menu/s.css"/>
    </head>
    HTML:
    With this:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>SavePoint - Shop and Compare</title>
    <meta name="keywords" content="Shop and Compare, product comparisons">
    <meta name="description" content="Shop & compare prices at Savepoint. Find the best deals on millions of products and services for free.">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <STYLE TYPE="text/css">
    <!--
    BODY {SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR:#00aaff;SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR:#a3daf5;SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR:#aaaaaa;SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR:#cccccc; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR:#ffffff; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR:#a3daf5; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR:#000000};
    TD {font-family:Verdana}-->
    </STYLE>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/i/ui/4002412/i/menu/s.css">
    </head>
    
    HTML:
    Remember, replace the original code with the corrected code. EVERYTHING
    and including the </head> tag to the top of the page!

    Also, add relevant keywords to the meta keyword tag. Separate keywords/
    keyphrases with commas:

     <meta name="keywords" content="Shop and Compare, product comparisons, your new keyword here, another, and another">
    HTML:

    Thanks for the good feedback :)

    Also thanks for the help with the html. I had almost forgot to add the meta tags, I will be sure to get to that, maybe today :D
