My first site

Alrighty,

Here is my first affiliate site.

It's based around an online game that I play. The site itself is basically a review of the game that includes gameplay trailers and will soon have some screen shots.

Also, I am aware that there are grammar errors still present and that will be corrected shortly as well.

URL: Eve-Online Review

Please note that this URL is not what it will be when I launch it, I have just not yet figured out what to call it.

As for what I'm looking for as far as suggestions, just about anything. Things to bring in traffic, keyword advice, does the review "draw you" though some of you might not be gamers, suggestions on url names etc etc.

Anything that will help my site be more likely to succeed

Thank you guys and let me tell you that I already appreciate the support and welcome you guys have extended to me!

I look forward to hearing your suggestions!

  • The bad:
    You'll need to improve the SEO if you want to rank for those keywords.
    I saw a few spelling and grammar mistakes.
    Your pictures page links to some hosting company :s
    You have no description or keywords meta tags
    You have no h1 or h2 tags
    Images are missing alt attributes
    You don't have a robots.txt
    You don't have a XML sitemap

    The good:
    You have written fresh content for Google to pick up
    It's fast at loading
    You have a good title tag: (max is 70 chars)
    For a first design it is good

    • Thank you for the input!

      I did know about the grammar mistakes and I am correcting them and I also knew about keyword meta tags but I'm not very knowledgeable about how to use keywords.

      The pictures page probably leads there because I think I forgot to upload a picture.html lol.

      I will be going through and adding alt text to all the pictures probably tonight.

      I don't know what a robot.txt is or anything about an XML sitemap. Any clarification on this would be great! I'll Google it after dinner.

      Thank you all for the info and please keep it coming!

  • if this is your first one, then i must say mind blowing. keep it up.
  • Add more pages to your website. Make it more attractive using CSS. Since it is a gaming website, try to make it more interactive and visually appealing.

    • Yes. Good suggestion. Top part is missing something. You have to add more attractive images as this is related to game. Please make it more attractive.
  • Site is Good . Nice theme Choosen !!
  • Good Job, clean it up a bit.
  • Good Job keep working hard your skills will improve in time.
  • Thanks for all the support guys!

    I have done a bunch of editing to the site and will be doing more tonight and tomorrow.

    Please let me know what you think!

    EDIT: I know about not having alt tags and that I still need meta tags for my keywords. Thats a work in progress atm.
  • As a first time, It's not bad, It's a good one.
    But I don't think that, It's perfect. You have to do hard word to improve.
    Otherwise you have to try about your site SEO. I'm sure you are a hard worker so,
    I believe you can do it.

  • well nice site that has a good theme for the game so fine tweak it and it's good to go
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • The site is already using CSS. The link reference to its style sheet is right above the title tage. Maybe there are more CSS elements that can be used to make important parts stand out more, but he is using CSS.

    The site is a review site. Not sure how one would make a review site interactive. It's not a game in and of itself. It's just reviewing the game; which review will hopefully spark the interest of readers and get them to click through to the game itself, and sign up for it.

    If some more experienced person out there could give some good advice on how to make a review site interactive that would be helpful. New ones don't know all the ropes that's why they come to forums like this. To find out HOW to do it, not just WHAT to do. Often, they may know WHAT to do, HOW is the hang up for them.

    I'm betting poor Nifty doesn't know what a robot.txt is. Why is it important? How do you write one? (Actually, I'd like to know that myself, because I don't have one on any of my sites. So, poor Me, too!)

    The overall design of the site is in keeping with the game's. Perhaps some screen shots of the game would be appropriate to add as illustrations.

    Nifty, when you go through your piece to fine tune it, adding the recommended headers, make them meaningful, because you want to take as many keywords from your headers as you can. They count most in searches. Eve Online should be one of those keywords. I'll take a closer look at your site a bit later and see if I can help you with that.

    In the meantime, nice work for your first time. Jumping in there and getting your feet wet can be scary! It'll get better as you pick up more experience.
