Question:

Critique my site? (sneak peek)?

Here’s a sneak peek at my new site, hopefully it’s going to be HUGE! But I need your help!

Take a look at it and tell me what you think of it so far. I’m still working out some bugs and such, but let me know what you think of the layout and content. Any suggestions would be amazing!

Answer:
Did take a bit to load, you might want to get better hosting, especially if you think it is going to be big.

To be honest your site looks like a1000000’s of others just like it that have been popping up on the net for that past 2 years. Try something a little more unique if you want to ‘make it big’.

good luck

I just checked on his site and it does not seem to exist any more, I hope I was not too hard on him….

Here is a new little series of posts I am starting, best of Yahoo answers.   When I have a bit of free time I try and answer some questions there, I will post some that recieved ‘best’ answer.

Question:

I have run google Ads. sense on my site for 10days, and this is the result?

Page impressions 11,785
Clicks 5
Page CTR 0.04%
Earnings 0.31

is this normal? if not what is wrong and what should I do?

Answer:
You could have a few different problems, a poor looking site (so folks are not staying more than a couple seconds), non-relevant ads (check to see that the ads are relevant to your visitors and content), poor ad placement (make sure your ads are in a good visible place, but don’t plaster your page with them).
Making money with adsense is very hard, you will read all types of lies on the web - especially in forums.  People claiming to make $10’s of thousand dollars a month via adsense.  The truth is pretty ugly and it is that a large percentage of adsense in the past has been paid to scam sites and MFA sites.
