Hello DP! I would like a review for my website, http://www.tonesettings.com. It's been up since the 15th, has around 300 unique hits, the adsense revenue sucks (brings me around $0.20-$0.50 daily if I'm lucky) and I tried to make it as SEO as I could. I appreciate all feedback, good or bad, and thanks for your time! edit: Also, can I get some feedback on the titles? Thanks
I like the site's feel, although maybe a picture or two on each page would make it look more professional. I do like the color scheme and layout. i ran into a problem... try the seach from G on your site and you get this error:
Great site, pleasure to browse and fast too. I like the way you have blended in the Adsense but if its not making you $$ then maybe a change in position or format should made?? You have only 2 ad units in there, correct? Maybe try placing a 728x90 banner at the bottom and have 4 images positioned above the ad. I have been this in other posts and it seems to help boost ratings. Hopefully somone can confirm this works. Good Luck.
Cagin: yeah, I talked to Google about that. The reason it does that, is because I was previously denied for AdSense (my site was under construction, I didn't realize it had to be finished), and they said it will take up to 1 week for it to clear up. Turf: the reason I'm not making money is because I don't have very many visitors. Today, I had a great amount of visitors, and made about $0.50, which is OK. I don't want to put too many ads, because it will make the site look cluttered, ugly, and the visitors wont appreciate it. In case you haven't noticed, I placed the ads in a way that if a person uses an ad blocker (like me) the site looks perfectly fine, and doesn't mess up. I'm not sure if placing ads in other areas will mess up the layout if the viewer has an ad blocker. Thanks for the reviews, if possible, keep em comin!
Well as far as the traffic, the reason you're not getting many visitors is because Google doesn't even have your site indexed, and I was only able to find one backlink to your site. Before I'd go changing the Ads on the site I'd spend some time on some SEO work. Here's what I suggest: 1. GET MORE CONTENT -- there really is only content on the home page of the site. 2. Change your page titles to read the subject of the page first. There is no reason to retain your web site's name first in every page's title 3. Get some keyword targeted inbound links Just my suggestions. Definitely not a "pro", but what I have suggested will only help and will not hurt.
iTistic, thanks for the help. Can you elaborate a little? As far as #1 goes, how can I get more content on the main page? The main page links to all the content pages. #2: how can I remove my website's name in the title, but still have people understand what the website is while reading it on the search engines? #3: yeah, I've been working on it. I am linked with a few sites, but for some reason google isn't picking them up (I guess the SE's haven't indexed those pages yet) And as far as indexing my site in Google, it's on it's way. I've submitted a SiteMap to them, so it should be indexed any day now. Why don't you search on Ask Jeeves for Tone Settings, and look at the first result Thanks for all your help!
i like it and i think you have a very good idea in your logo, need more depth though -the box title are regular white try bold white to be more clear for reading - add some attractive words, while browsing nothing catch my eyes to check it - add some graphic and pic as for your questions: 1- add some text with brief of your site some attractive words used as links to other pages 2-Tone Home, Tone contact, ... i guess 3- add a link directory, it will help you a lot in SE and in PR
