I like the idea!
Website loaded a bit slow though...Maybe try getting a logo too?

 

Loads a bit slow for a wordpress site, imo
Also the image or banner on front page is not what you say attractive, the post structure needs to be changed, as well as the logo need to be incorporated.
Looks good but requires some work to do there, then it will be ready to rock

 

besides logo what else to fix?
Home page thread spread itself, so not an issue. It will change whenever I submit a new post.

 

No, i don't think a logo would do. maybe a great header banner only.

-and what's with the Follow... and the More? Is it really not 'clickable'?
-also, it would be great if you have share buttons on every post, this kind of topics can get viral immediately.
-also since the most articles are short, I suggest to have one image only. a featured image on top of each article I guess?
-a footer?
-i always feel dumb whenever a redundant title of the article appears when I hover my mouse on an image. good to remove it, alt text would do just fine.

these are some suggestions, let me know if it help in anyway,

 

i dont even SHOCK when i look at the first when i see your pages. Adding carousel/slider on header would make people curious with what content/info you have on it.

Just my 2 cent

 

change logo dear then your site look more Good dear

 

there is a page which has 884K like which is just similar to the name you are using

Site idea seems good but your content seems very thin - this will need more to make it a newsworthy site for google. Your text to image ratio is a bit low and this will increase bounce rate.
How are you position the site for ranking or SEO. There are noe meta keywords or any information that can tell google what the site is supposed to be.
Have you setup Google webmaster tools to see which pages fair better than others and see what information you need to change or update?
You also need to sort out a Meta description for your site to gie people an idea of what it is about if they do search for it and it shows up on Google.
The ads interfere with the content. When I was on the google murder page the ads on the right and under What really happened sub title was very interfering and made me want to leave the site.

See if you can improve the ads so they look more as if they are part of the site and not a very in your face add on which can cause people to leave.

 

Yes you are right. It is similar to this page. But he is not earning and domain was available that time, So i start the same because people like this kind of page/website.

I can add content but as I am not a content writer, so it is hard to write some time.
About SEO- I started this site only to move the visitors of above facebook page and convert them into Adsense click.
Google Webmaster Done.
About ads placement -> Please suggest me where to place ads. I deleted ads from home page. Logo in Progress.

Regards

 

Ragamsky is right get a slider version of a Wordpress template. There are a number of ones which support adsense and will place ads more efficiently through the site.

You might have to look for some themes that support adsense and banners better with a slider front page.

Here is a news theme from studiopress with the genesis framework which supports adsense and other advertising. Has a lot of support and a framework renowned for speed and SEO capability.

P.S. these aren't affiliate links so in case you are wondering if I will get some money for this it's no.

As for content pick on page that is really emotive and curate it, like the dog staying at his soldier owners coffin. Right about the person and find out about the dog. How it makes you feel the love of the dog anything which will connect to peoples emotions. Then the other content can be shorter ones. But use some of the really emotionally powerful ones and write your view on it this will get peoples attention. Create a Google+ page for it and a twitter account and link them up. See if you can get ownership of the facebook page or get the guy to put the link on the current on for a fee. Dont gie a price see what he comes up with.
