You need some targeted content - text that uses your keywords so that search engines (and people) will find you. It looks like you've just got video, and that's not going to get you the results you want.

Clean up the theme - there are images overlapping other images. Make the banner ads fit better.

It looks like you're still working on this site because the header links don't work...definitely finish this before you promote it

Good luck!

Thanks

Use sidebar widgets, that would be the easiest way to eliminate the login.
Also see what your content width is in the theme's CSS file and adjust your adsense code accordingly.

Most of the videos you have there look to me like copyright material. Ok, they get posted to YouTube by third parties but that doesn't make it right to use them. I doubt that Adsense will agree to this.

thanks guys for replies

hmmmmmm thats an interesting point, how would i check for copyright? i was following a video tutorial and it basically said if there is an embed code it should be ok to use the videos, does that make sense?

thanks to everyone that replied

Thanks

Hi Lazavas

As Pearson says you need to check the copyright side of things.

To get rid of the meta section just edit the theme in your wordpress panel. If you do not how to do this ask here or at elance.com for some help.

The site does look a bit clunky and a bit of money spent now making look good will help it go better.

By the way as a Reading fan "Come on you Royals!" I thought that you could have the goals categorised by the teams

Thanks

Hi,

To get the adsense fit in right, you need to change the adsense format...
instead of Leaderboard (728 x 90) select Banner (468 x 60) for your ads
in google...
here are different ad formats info from google
https://www.google.com/adsense/stati...AdFormats.html

Also in google you can change the background color and text color to
match the theme color you are using in your blog.

---
As far as removing the stuff from the sidebar is....
From Design> Widgets in your admin panel of wordpress
you can remove the widgets like Meta Info, and ....

If this code is hard coded in your theme's sidebar,
then you need to click... Theme Editor, select sidebar.php
and remove the related code....

If you do not know how to do this
let me know may i can help you with it.

Best,
Mohsin

This post was incredibly good for someone that is also working on developing different blogs. Getting content for it isn't difficult. It has been finding ways to make them look good. Thanks for sharing that. It may be obvious to people that have been at this for a long time but for newbs it is incredibly valuable
