Constructive criticism of my site

by jeffreydale
11 replies
Not trying to spam here.. just want some feedback for my site. It's basically a photo blog, the type of site you go to when you're bored etc..

Some of the questions I'm looking to get answered are.. How is the navigation? Is it easily understandable? Does the load time turn you off? Is it too offensive/perverted? Does it remind you too much of another website? Is it a turn off having seen some of the material on other sites before? Does it look unprofessional etc..

the site is zerobored [dot] com

Warning though, it does have content that would not be recommended for younger people or are easily offended.. no porn or anything like that, but if you're at work or have children around, it's probably best not go. Just a warning.

Thanks.

    Site looks good but one thing I noticed right away that you might want to look at changing is putting the categories on the top menu rather then on the side it took me a minute to find it and the load time on the game menu is a little bit of a turn off but other then that I like it it looks good

    Just my 2 cents

    Very image intensive. Loaded slowly on my computer. Not sure if your using jpgs or bmps. I would work on making the site load faster.

    Thanks critterman. Randall, I am using jpgs. The load time I thought might be a problem for some people, especially with older computers. Not really sure how I could resolve that, but on the right navigation bar, I have random posts set to 30 articles I believe. I can always change that number to 15 or something, and it might improve it. Is there a faster format than jpg? I know png and bmp load ungodly slow.. I have a few png's but very little, probably only like 20 out of 50,000 images

    Very nice [insert lecherous smiley]

    The only thing I would say at first glance is it looks a bit 'cramped' you might like to try a wider theme.

    It might be more appropriate if the 'continue reading' tag said 'continue gawping!"

    I resisted the urge to go past the front page

    It's loads good for me. Maybe you need such fresh WP theme.

    I have a pretty awful connection, 2.17Mbps but the site loaded pretty fast for me. I did manage to reduce the file sizes of the Hot MMA ring girls by about 50% by optimizing with Fireworks, so there could be room for improvement there.

    I didn't find anything offensive, far from it! I thought they were very tasteful pics.

    Nothing really could be improved except as someone else mentioned, having the nav all up top.

    Well done, nice site!

      Maybe not clear what you are targeting, maybe games and babes don't go together. Maybe separate the different target or niches into separate blogs.

      No criticism of Mariana though.

    A bit slow loading but not awful.

    Yes, what or who are you targeting? Guys only?

    I don't mind pics of attractive women, but it's overkill IMO. Looking at the numbers next to the categories, you have over 400 pics of "hot girls."

    Personally, I think it's boring. A few here and there, fine, but over 400?

    Then looking at the rest of the categories, which I did not do, it all just doesn't seem to mesh well.

    Site needs more focus. If you're gonna make a soft porn site, then do it. Maybe you have. The other stuff, now that I think about it, reminds me of a magazine. In general.

    Otherwise, it's not bad. But I'd work on the browser load time. Fewer pics on the home page, perhaps?

    Hope that helps.

      your content is perfectly fine if thats what your audience want, if you are targeting guys 20 to 25 that want chick pics then supply them with that.

      you would rather have 1000 targeted ppl then 10000 untargeted people.

      here is a great article on the subject, great read:

    cool site man!

    you have a PR 1 for your main page so google has given you some authority.

    your load time is bit on the slow side. use wp super cache plugin to speed up your site or keep your pics on a third party like flicker.

    i would use one widget area not two because it makes your pages overly busy, remember you want your ppl to stay on your site as long as possible.

    as for ranking i dont know how to rank an image site.

    i like your site!

    Hey thanks guys. Yes, the target audience is males mostly aged from 18-25 or so. As for the overkill on women pics, that is mostly what my traffic comes for. Usually people on google search for "hot pics of X" or whatever. I actually wanted to diversify and make the site a little less "perverted", but it seems like only a few people come here and there for comedy, memes etc.. and the other %90 is looking for babes.

    I thank you all for the comments though. I'll see what I can do about load time, and try to change the navigation a bit.
