Hey NP, could you all take a look at my site, for a pre-release evalutation!

OctaneInv · 05-09-2007, 06:55 PM

Hey,

I am soon releasing my new site, proxygrids.com.

It is meant for proxies and proxy topsites to add very cheap banner ads, and for end-users to have a site with many links to proxies and resources, and be easily accessible.

The design was meant to be very simple, and was not made to accommodate adsense. I didn't want to take away from the ads, the 100% focus of the site.

I still don't know if I'm totally satisfied, the design I have up now I like alot, but I also have a very GUI Web2.0 layout.

Do you like the design?

Thank you for any of your input!

Ryan

design is ok, bit plain and colourless though.

is it basically a milliondollarhomepage type site?

Well, on the initial site, there's not much to be reviewed. It's a concept that's almost beat to death by now. It's certainly worth attempting to try it, it's going to need some promotion and probably a different URL for your site, though. What you're attempting to do is going to be difficult to position with the site name.
Other than that, you needed a section where you disclose pricing, eventually work with an iframe or div layer that pops up at the first time someone is accessing the site, outlining what it takes to buy one square.....

Its your basic MDH site, theres nothing else to comment on, there isnt much of a design, looks turnkey.

I was planning on working an iFrame into it, but didn't think about the one-time thing, thats a good idea. Thank you.

For everyone else, yep its just another MDH script, just thought it would be cool to have like a proxy banner land type of thing.

The only other question I had was, should I not charge for banners, but insert adsense?

Thanks to all who have replied!

Unfortunately, proxy sites are a dime a dozen now days, so it's next to impossible to make yours stand out, without of a lot of dedicated work.

Layouts okay, but like I said: Not really original. :-(

Next up: AdSense on Proxy Sites is, in my opinion, a big no-no. While they might have change their TOS now, I doubt it. Check, and double check, if you choose to use AdSense.
