Review my Soccer Betting blog

    Please tell me what you think of my Soccer Betting blog. Currently I'm working hard on getting everything ready but I'd like to know what you guys think of it so far. Please note that the current Google Ads should become private ads in the future. I know the header needs some work and so does the template.

    I'm not totally satisfied about the template currently, it misses the 'soccer feeling'. I'm looking for ways to get that sort of feeling, any suggestions on that? Or should I go for a more business looking template?

    Please take a look on all the pages, not only the homepage.

    Also I got two questions for you.
    • Should I aim on the word soccer (like my domain) or football (more popular word) when it comes down to SEO.
    • Anyone knows how I get rid of the index.php in a permalink? When I use custom structure to do it I get fatal errors.

    Thanks

    I think you should get a different theme and you should add some
    soccer graphics into the header and the body of the page. It would
    make more sense to focus on soccer because it's in your domain
    name.

    I think it's currently missing a logo and a banner. It's also good to add images to accompany every blog post. Somehow I would prefer the word soccer since football is often confused with American football.

    Yes but allot of Europeans hate the word soccer, instead they like to use football. But there is allot more competition on the word football so I think it's better to stay with soccer.

    First of all, get a theme that is related to soccer. Get some nice graphics there...

    I tried allot of different themes but this is the only one that fits all my requirements. So i'm going to try to modify the current theme to make it look more like a soccer theme.

    What do you mean with getting some more graphics? Just the header or also images in the content?

    Lol the theme looks like some kind of news blog, if you fix that it should be good to go.

    hi dear, i can suggest that. to make more interested on your soccer blogs, you must have a images all about soccer and the most important also your banner images. try to put small images or graphics when you post so it will be more interested.

    thanks,

    The text needs more contrast. Best would be black as font color. Otherwise it's very tedious to read.

    Hi,
    would like to see more current pictures and the whole page brightened up a bit. You need to know what your market is as there is so much info out there about this subject and you cannot cater for all if this is not a full time thing for you. I.e. current league positions by country or perhaps competition. world ranking info.
    Perhaps add some video's of recent matches (free from virgin media)

    I am not a great lover of the game being called Soccer so like most would search for information under Football :)

    And of course mention this weeks score between England and Germany which was England 2 Germany 1 :D
