Review: www.GamersCommunity.net

[moealza]

Please review my gaming directory www.GamersCommunity.net and suggest how to improve it.

This site is very nice. I could not find too much wrong with it. The design is fine. The little pacman guy on top is a little distracting. Other than that the only other important aspect of your site would be SEO I guess to get visitors and people to add their site to your directory. I saw your code and you have all title tags in place.

Copy this site for SEO:http://www.consolelinks.com/

They are number 2 or so for gamer directory.

Thanks,

George

I don't understand what code you are referring to? The meta tags?

[georgechristodoulou]

I was just referring to the code of the entire page. I was just saying that you had all of the SEO properties in place. I thought it was a good site. But you could take a quick glance at that site and try to reduce the load time of the site.

well, you've got a front page full of links, but it seems that few of them actually have content yet. I think you'll really disappoint users if they search for x-box emulation, land on your page, and find out right away that there's nothing behind the link. maybe have a number next to each category, so you can see right off the bat where the content is.

[moealza]

spacefem I am getting new links everyday so hopefully all categories will have links in them soon.

hey moealza, i like your site layout, if you can add some contents i think it will be a great site. but i have to agree with georgechristodoulou on getting rid of the flashing pacman ghost.

[DaFiz]

I have to agree with the other guys on this one, that flashing pacman ghost is pretty bad, if it was my site I would remove it straight away.

I do however like the look of the green and blue.

Cheers,

Hi, moealza

Nice and clean design, but I think you should improve the content of your website. I'm not talking about quantity, but about quality.

The big issue now with most of the directories is that people don't use them as they did in the past. Most of the traffic will be driven by search engines.

Search engines want to provide unique content, the visitors want to read unique content. The best way to achieve this is to add your personal touch to your directory. Instead of an 'articles' section, add a blog. I'm sure you love to talk about your business, about your site, favourite games, etc with your mates, so why wouldn't you do it with your visitors?

The links: instead of adding 10 links per day, with the same description as other hundreds of directories, why wouldn't you add 3 links with an original description, written by you?

Instead of "No Comments yet for this site. Be the First one to post a Comment" why wouldn't you just add a few sentences, as "Editor's opinion" about the link? Interact with your visitors, tell them why did you choose to add that link to your directory.

Add at least three blog posts per week and 20 links. Write your own opinions and descriptions, allow your directory to grow naturally. If you're keen on writing your own content on listings, people will be motivated to pay more for listings, later, after you'll be an authority.

Good luck!

PS: The others are right. You should get rid of the little flashy pacman.

Looks clean, but I agree the pacman thing is distracting. You might want to make that one or the other. Besides that, it looks like you should work on your link building and getting the word out for your site!

hello!

first of all i would use more pictures, because now it is kinda boring and non attractive.
second I would use also another colour to highlight certain aspects of the website, it's kind of all the same around...

I dont think that color of green and blue work together.
Get a color wheel (many free on the Internet)

You could find a better and blue and green combination, perhaps with a 3'rd color of an orange tone or red?

First thing I noticed was how those colors clashed.
