Free Site Review #13
Review of atmaxplorer.com
Domain Name – Not really sure what to make of the domain name. Let’s just say it’s… good? yeah, good will work.
Design – Fairy decent design. Clean, tidy and pretty well structured. Standard navigation in a nice position, the only thing I would say is to make everything a little more defined, since the sidebars seem to be a bit… blurred, in a sense they are kind of indistinguishable from each other. Again, no real brand or unique quality, maybe try get a logo designed or design one yourself or at least design the header writing in a memorable fashion.
Ads – Good ad placement on the Adsense, doesn’t really clash with your content too much but the units are still in very ‘clickable’ positions. Maybe try and rotate other things though as Adsense may not be the highest earner for your site. Maybe even try to get some direct sponsors, email related companies, you’d be surprised on how many would actually be interested. Your affiliate ads under the ‘Sponsored Links’ seem very low down, seems a bit pointless to have them in such a low position on a blog which I presume doesn’t get a huge amount of traffic. They seem somewhat redundant, maybe try removing those to improve user experience or place them in a more prominent position.
Conclusion – In conclusion I think you have a blog with potential. Good posts, good navigation, fairly good structure… maybe experiment more with ad placement, try get direct sponsorship, rotate other units etc. Also I would tidy up your design so that it’s as practical and easy to use for any level of Internet user.
Thanks for the review and the advice. I’m trying to squeeze time between blogging and my graduating class so I my work on my logo as well as further site modification is all but stalled T_T
