My WP site, general opinion about site and ad placement

mrgood · 08-23-2011, 08:03 AM

After 7 days of keyword researching, I have buy the domain and make a WP site: Pc Performance - tests, software, hardware... . What do you think about theme, should I change it, and what do you think about ad placement? According to theme, I am interested only in themes that can help me with AdSense earnings...

I don't believe that no one has some constructive comments. Come on, Warriors !

The main page and "computer performance test" fonts are way too big, so the lines are almost overlapping, it's a bit distracting.

Remove the "Miscellaneous" link until you have some content in there. I also personally prefer not to see adsense smack in the middle of the front page, I prefer it to the side - but that's just me

I think you have a good start!

You better get a link to a "Privacy Policy" on every single page that includes Adsense (ASAP).

That Index page is killing my eyes, all I notice is the jumbled text & want to leave the page.

The whole site looks like something Adsense would ban, IMO. You need way more content than Ads, otherwise it's just spammy looking. Some of that looks like spun text.

As a web developer, here are my honest opinions:

The general layout is fine. Keep the menu bar and side widgets as-is.
Add a Privacy Policy (as mentioned above).
Change the font sizes and spacing. It's too crowded, and nothing stands out in a good way.
You need substance and color.

If you want your site to grab readers and make them click those Adsense links, contact me at janellewrites@gmail.com for a price quote. I'd love to work with you.

Theme looks okay but like Strangiato said the fonts are way too big. If you're using the h2 tags for SEO, you need to go into your stylesheet and change the size of the h2 text... h3 too for that matter.

I would move your ad block to just under the headline and have the content below that. hate the banner ad, it's not relevant, therefore a waste of space.Test for CTR.

Good job on getting the ball rolling!

Strangiato · 08-23-2011, 09:56 AM

Good Point Yukon - add a Privacy Policy ASAP or take down Adsense until you have one posted. That's a ban waiting to happen!

Add more adsense / CPA/ Clickbank products to the remaining half of the side bars. It looks really empty from half way down. Change font and size. Add some images to liven it all up.

Aussie_Al · 08-23-2011, 10:03 AM

Yeah def. reduce the size of the font

I am alright with the black text on white back ground but some images would help give the site some color

As someone said above remove the adsense block from the middle of the content.

The last adsense blog I built I had at least 20 500 word articles before I added adsense

Just saying...

mrgood · 08-23-2011, 11:06 AM

I've changed the frontpage, and I've add privacy policy. Hope that it looks better now...

If your main goal is for optimal Adsense earnings, then you've got some major problems there from my experience.

Couple tips:

Don't use the 468x60 ad.

Drop your sidebar units. Nobody is coming to your site to find out what the date is or to see your meta data.
