This isn't cause I care about wrestling or his site but, i think having 2000 posts in 2 months is retarded

I think the site looks good btw.

XPays · 02-09-2009, 02:54 PM

page is a little busy and oversaturated with diet ads. if you want to try a good sponsor- try the coffee thing at http://nonadult.com and good luck!

bizarrejan · 02-09-2009, 02:55 PM

site looks great,

although not too keen on the ads, they tend to take your attention away from the main purpose of the content of the site, also maybe a little too much info to take in, just my opinion,,

itto · 02-09-2009, 03:01 PM

i dig the logo & the color scheme! ..though i'd say the small url in the logo could a bit sharper.

devine · 02-09-2009, 03:04 PM

I've found some content between the ads, just letting you know so you can take it down

gimme-website · 02-09-2009, 03:06 PM

Much better than what you usually see in these types of threads

In my opinion the header could be less busy, you've got a nice logo - why not make it slightly larger? And maybe style them blue links more, there are so many of them!

TeenCat · 02-09-2009, 03:06 PM

yes man i like the site and i think you have great wrestling portal on the good way!

wish you best with http://24wrestling.com !

candyflip · 02-09-2009, 03:07 PM

I really like the logo. Whoever did that does nice work.

Wow that is a lot of content.. I just don't see a Wrestling fan being able to read thru all of that.. Should put less on the page and use a larger font..

gideongallery · 02-09-2009, 03:27 PM

you need link to torrents of the ppv
jk
seriously check yout lordsofpain.net
i think your interface is a little busy.

Sosa · 02-09-2009, 03:33 PM

not bad but like others have mentioned it is way ad heavy

Si · 02-09-2009, 04:36 PM

needs more sex on there. it's not adult enough for mainstream website.

P.S. I sell short traffic with keyword rich ICQ Ebooks! contact if interested

TimBlaze · 02-09-2009, 05:11 PM

thanks for all the replies so far!

JamesK · 02-09-2009, 05:14 PM

It's a bit busy like mentioned before, but it looks okay. I'd hire a designer to clean it up a little. Nice logo btw.

TimBlaze · 02-09-2009, 05:17 PM

any tips on exactly what kind of cleaning up should be done?

JamesK · 02-09-2009, 05:25 PM

The headlines have some oldskool <HR> dividers. I'd remove them and use CSS to give every 2nd row a different color. It'll look better and it would be easier on the eyes.

The search bar goes almost unnoticed. I'd change the colors on it and make it a bit bigger so people can actually see there's a search function.

There's a lot more things that I'd change, but I have work to do. Good luck!

Si · 02-09-2009, 05:25 PM

do wrestling fans holiday in st. lucia quite frequently?

ive been going back and forth on the <HR>s for a while but i just took them off again and think i'll leave them off

i just put up a more visually pleasing search box too

Intrinsic · 02-09-2009, 05:38 PM

too many ads
TOO MANY ADS!!!

$5 submissions · 02-09-2009, 05:46 PM

There's too much going on and it distracts the reader. Shorten the page so you can increase clickthroughs. Also, prioritize the stories based on CTR (there's scripts that do this). Add an email collection system. Dial down the ads a bit because it gets in the way of readability.

Also, change your URL structure/permalinks so it's more SE-friendly. For more SE traffic, create a lot of reference pages -- maybe biographies of wrestlers, wrestling events background information, information on wrestling movies. Key these towards searched keywords and subkeywords.

SuzzyQ · 02-09-2009, 09:16 PM

I just got redirected to some coupon shit?.. whats up with that?

Matt 26z · 02-09-2009, 09:21 PM

I used to run a wrestling site in the 90's. In fact that is how I got started in all of this.

I still remember buying a little HTML book and going over the source code for WrestleZone trying to make sense of how they built it.

I had mine on Expage first, and I would click my toplist link all night long keeping me towards the top. Then I moved to Geocities and then my own domain.

tony286 · 02-09-2009, 10:55 PM

it looks really good.

James · 02-09-2009, 10:56 PM

TimBlaze · 02-09-2009, 11:16 PM

thank you i took some of the advice posted in this thread and shortened the page and cut down on the content on the front page

V_RocKs · 02-10-2009, 12:11 AM

Decent amount of traffic. Why ask these people? They couldn't do this with a wrestling aggregation site.

doridori · 02-10-2009, 12:17 AM

irinasp · 02-10-2009, 12:23 AM

Brad · 02-11-2009, 10:53 AM

too much info on there for my liking. for a new user it would be daunting and they wouldn't know where to start. I will go out on a limb here and guess that wrestling fans are not the most internet savvy.

I can say one thing.. anytime I go to a site and my toolbar has to block a few pop ups, I automatically think of the site as a spam page. You already have a ton of ads on the site, lose the pop ups.

JMHO..
