hi, Website to review: www.love-sessions.com www.love-sessions.com/lovetalk Main url. www.love-sessions.com/The website has been up for about 5 years now. We have about 60.000 uniques a month. Google shows 68 backlinks, while msn and yahoo find over 3000. However the bounce rate is high. 60% of the visitors leave within 5 sec. What should I improve? How can I make this website (that had 100.000 uniques/month just a year ago) grow further, and what do you suggest to monetize the traffic, a new service(?) (since the ad revenue always was low with adsense) since this is poor at the moment. Forum of the main url. www.love-sessions.com/lovetalk/ I started this forum over a year ago and it has now more then a 1300 posts. About 600 people visit the forum each day, but somehow for te last couple of months people hardly make posts any more (maybe just 2/day). The amount of users seems big but I think that 40% of them are people that try to see if they can spam my forum with their website url in their profile. I really would value your opinion on how to improve the posts on the website, and awake it to grow further in the future. Thanks already for your valued input. I really need some fresh vision and please don't hold back for a second with your responses. The one with the golden tips or advice, I will send a small $ sign of appreciation. Regards, Frank
Homepage: The site tables need some cellpadding (spacing between each other) because they looks so squished at the moment.. the left navigation should be changed to a solid color as well for a more clean look Forum: Try using a different image for the header, it's hard to read the text over it..
Thank you 8everything! I will certainly take that advice! Is there anybody else who has some tips on generating revenue and improving the sites performance, mainly the forum? thanks already!
