Default Review of Gardening Site.

I have been doing some work on a Gardening site and getting it sorted out for the start of the new season.

So if you could just have a quick review of the site please.

http://www.gardeningwith.us

Thanks for taking the time out

Mega.........

I think, you should have some proper navigation. There should be some template and you have really a long page.

Sorry, I don't liked it. You really need to have many changes at your website.

Wow, that is a LOT of ads!!

I think you need some more 'proper' content and structure the ads around it more.

Also, "PLEASE VISIT THE RELEVANT LINKS ON THIS SITE - IT HELPS US KEEP IT FREE !" breaches Adsense ToS... you're not supposed to ask people to click links to earn you money. You can put a PayPal 'donate' button on, but you need to be supplying something worthwhile to people for them to want to donate.

Keep on developing it (nice domain name btw) and I'm sure you'll find the right balance between ads and content

Which part you liked(!!!) very much???



U can't say it's a website ... just full of ads!

Where is your content ... it took few seconds to understand which is your content.

No navigation.

Mega, i belive that you are able to build a superb website using the existing content, but i guess it will require more work. The seo friendly URLs are great but i see everywhere the very same title. I think that offering the ads for click in the current way won't drive you money. You should reorganize the whole layout in my opinion to offer something REAL value not only the ads.

I found it took a while to load, there's an awful lot of graphics and ads here. I had trouble separating the content from the ads. The navigation I assume is the thumbnails.

I always say to my clients the first few seconds of any site is important, this gives the impression of waht is to follow. Make the purpose of the site obvious, make navigation obvious and easy, and finally make sure it loads quickly.

I think that the home page is long, I would move the ebay and amazon areas off this page to other dedicated pages.

probably not what you were looking for, but I hope this help you.

Default Re: Review of Gardening Site.

Thanks folks for the review of the site,it makes interesting reading but i will say that the site will not be changed full stop in any shape or form As a site it earns its keep albeit a very small revenue and it will never be a top flight site,but as a site that is used in the direct marketing way ie by not taking people to the site but just using the url and pinpointing people to products it is a total winner
It just goes to show what can be achieved and in some cases i dont even have websites,all i have and use are some good url's

I have a little golf site that is so crap that i would never take anyone there but it has a nice url and i have 2 campaigns active,on aimed at the US golfers and one aimed at UK market and that is a superb little earner.

So do you really need a good site to make money from the net,not really

Mega, what was the point of asking for a review, if you have no intention of developing the site or taking any notice whatsoever of the constructive criticism offered?

diabolocal - it's simple a doorway page to an affiliate scheme, with nothing on the page but ads.

i recommend you write a unique article on that page - it will help with seo :p

Too many ads there I would say. You should organize the site so that it really helps those who are looking for information on Gardening. If you keep helpful information there people will bookmark your site and will revisit when they need it. I am sorry to say that I don't like your website.

I cant understand why you asked for reviews when it would appear that you had no intention of taking any of the comments on board. What was the point of this?

Hello,

I really didn't like very much of your website.

I would prefer to see the website and then the ads around or in the bottom. Like this it is dificult to understand what is the point of the website.

Regards
