What Should I Tweak?

    What should I tweak on my BlackBerry tips, news, and opinion site that may could increase usability for readers. Was thinking about putting the categories into a drop down menu since there are so many, however, I am not sure if the would be good for SEO.

    Was also thinking about moving all of the archives to it's own page, but once again, am concerned about adverse SEO affects.

    What do you think?

    There is quite alot of information on the first page, kinda overwhelming. Maybe make the news archived or something like that.

    Your header is blurry and it looks like the text on it should have a grey background.

    Also your main page is to long (and large in size for that matter) and should be divided up to help with the load time of the page.

    I have decreased the number of posts on the first page from 10 to 5. As for the header graphic, I am thinking about getting rid of it all together. I am thinking about put the archives and links on seperate pages, however, I am concerned about adverse SEO.

    your site have a really great potential to make money, but in order to do that you must have traffic and loyal readers. Put up an 'About' page, let the readers know who you are :)

    Мому the Categories up. Remove the top block of ads. The one insode the text is the best blended! Move tabs, “Best deal…”, Sponsored Links below the Categories.
