Review of YoungBusinessOwner.com

chrispalko · 08-02-2008, 06:10 PM

Hello,

I am new here and I have decided to post in other forums first before hitting the marketplace.

My site is YoungBusinessOwner.com (I know, I know, it's a long domain, but I got it before I started really getting into domains).

The design is my own and all content is written by me.

Thanks in advance.

Excellent color selection, very clean. For some reason the blocks on the right appear below the content. It happens with Firefox + Adblock plus. When you remove the adblock, the blocks shift back to their position.

Content is also very good , but you I didn't see Meta Keywords or descriptions in individual articles nor the main page.

Oh, the sidebar?

Yes, I had a bunch of AdSense ads on my site and instead of removing them, I just put them in between comment tags so they wouldn't be visible.

I just removed them and had a big issue with my sidebar, but I believe I have everything fixed now.

Anyone want to let me know how it looks to them now??

i don't see any adsense with or without adblock, but the layout looks fine. now on to my review...

first thing i notice is your tagline of the website. "striving"? if you use terminology like that, it makes you seem uncertain and new. try going with "Becoming one of the world's largest resources for young entrepreneurs". That way, it technically is true (since you're "striving") and it also takes away the ameteurish look.

i really like your layout, the white, grey, and red complement each other well. the only thing is the web2.0 rss logo seems liek it blends into the red background near the bottom - maybe get like a dropshadow on it going or somethign?

the articles themselves are well written and are well categorized. proper emphasis is given to the parts that require them (i.e. story and headline, but less emphasis to date/time and category/postedby/comments).

but overall, very nice site. good luck with it.

Yes, I have removed AdSense for the time being.

I really appreciate your opinion on the tagline, I have not had any input like that.

As far as the RSS logo, I will probably add a dropshadow similar to that of the main logo.

Thanks for comments on the articles.

A big thank you to everyone who has reviewed my site and given me input, I really appreciate it. It gets kind of hard to analyze a site I've been staring at for hours and hours.

I really like the design... this is my kind of website.

Plain, simple - yet good looking.

My eye knows EXACTLY where to go right when it loads. Good luck with the website.

Design is simple to follow. Is using power colors, good looking. etc

The seo needs a lot of work, but am not sure if you have put focus on this yet.
Your BWR Score was just 58.33%.

There are a few areas to improve.
Word count isn't one of them, your doing good and keep it up.
