What can I improve?

    I am getting a fair amount of visitors, but my adverts click ratio is still lowish...
    So my guess is that my design needs to be improved. So I am simply asking you for suggestions. Maybe something will come to your mind regarding what I should change or add or remove maybe.

    Maybe different colours for the whole site? Different colours for google adverts?

    You think I'll violate conditions if I make all fonts blue (including adverts) and if it'll make click ratio worse/better?

    Sorry for asking you to waste some of your time to check it out, but well, I am a bit dry on ideas.

    Your website looks like it has no orginzation.

    Dont put all your content on one page.

    everything black and gray gets boring, throw in some livley colors. make an Index page with just a little bit of information.

    Download a WordPress, Or Joomla, it will make orgionzation so much better for you.

    thanks - might be a good idea to have another section for statistics...
    with colours -well the opposite is too much of them... bad taste...

    Hello,

    OK the first thing you need is to create white space in your webpage.

    White space is space between your content its like breathing space.

    It’s the white space you see between these sentences I have written.

    At the moment everything is crammed and it all looks the same and it’s overwhelming for your visitor and they will react the way I did and that’s move on to another website.
    This is why people are not clicking on your adverts because they don’t spend enough time on your website. It has nothing to do with your adverts

    You’re providing too much information as well on the first hit.

    See your 5 most downloadable subtitles it would be good to just have the movie titles and the downloads amount. On the right hand side of this I would stick 1 google advert and blend the colors into your website. Only tamper with your Google adverts via Google you can change these to any color you want. Do not do this via HTML on your webpage.

    Above your Google advert place a transparent banner with a couple of images layered out evenly so they look part of your advertisement.

    I would then get rid of the other 2 Google adverts.

    Just a bit of work like this will make your site rank in the 100,000 in Alexa.

    In reality you’re doing 2 things wrong.

    1. You’re trying to make a fortune overnight with 2 Google adverts.
    2. You’re providing way too much information first off in the main page.

    The success to making money is to first provide awesome readable content in which people keep coming back for then you make money on your second webpage's that link from your main webpage.

    Hope this helps.

    PM me if you want a review latter on.

    Good luck with it.

    Joe

    Wow! Thanks a lot, Joe!
    A little problem is that there is not much of a content to read that I can provide on such a website...

    Yeah, I could watch a movie and make a review, but that's overkill timewise... So in order to do this - there needs to be some way to automate more or less the "readable" part.

    For now I will reduce the amount of statistics on the front page and, heh, will think about what text to read might I find... Maybe a blog sort of thing of Any's daily life? Would bore visitors most likely...

    Thanks again,
    Any :)
