My three first minisites - Please review

[etherloth]

Hello all.

Im very new in web designing, my first projects are just little websites with some ADsense.

Would be great if some expert guys give me some advices, so, what do you think?

Also an appraisal would be great (counting that traffic starts kicking in i mean)

www.Economy24h.com - This is just an informative site about the basic concepts related to the economy

www.BlogFinder.asia - A Blog searcher with YouTube channel related with blogging

www.DiamondsKing.com - Online guide for diamond appraisal newbs.

Feel free to critic !

Etherloth - I had a look at the diamond site, because I have quite a few diamond names myself.
The site looks well put together but personally I would change the colour of the text to make it more visible - I would also make the adsense ads more prominent. One final point on the English, - the English is good but it is clearly not written by someone whose first language is English (e.g. 'The Mother Nature never stops amazing us' - you need to delete the article 'the') - depending on how important you consider this to be you may want to hire someone to correct the English.
Are you getting any visitors ? I put together one minisite too but so far it isn't getting any visitors, so I am wondering if it really is worth the effort.

Not big traffic for now, a few daily, didnt start with the SEO yet.

About the english, yeah its my third language so sucks here and there :s

Its too soon to tell if making the minisites is worthed or not, i guess it will be better than parking, in 4-6 months i will be able to answer to this question )

What you mean with making the ADsense ads more prominent? Im very n00b on this.

Thanks for the comments!

Eth - the adsense ads. need to be 'in your face' where you can see them - you may think that people visit your site to read about diamonds etc... but what you want them to do is to leave by clicking on an ad. - so the ads. have got to be very easy to click - your ads. on your first page (apart from the links) are right down the bottom where no-one will see them unless they go down there - in my opinion the ads. need to be up at the top of the page where people can see them, then when they get bored of looking at your page (around 10 seconds max. because people are fickle ) - they click on something to go away and you want them to click on an ad. - unfortunately minisites are in the advertising business not the information business, like with TV, we may think we are watching TV to see programs but in fact people make TV programs so they can sell ads. -
this guy has a very good blog about making money from blogs/minisites - http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com/2007/02/blogger-basics-making-money-online.html -
just my two cents worth

Hi Eth,

I think there is a lot of potential with your sites

I took a look at BlogFinder and think it may be a bit overstuffed by Adsense ads.. just my opinion.

The bottom frame is also not showing well for me.. Have you tried to view your site using FireFox?

Good luck to your site!

Thanks a lot for the comments Advaita, annoted

Thanks to you too KC ! Will check how the sites look like with Netscape, Firefox, Opera and Safari, didnt think in a multibrowser way, see? Noob lesson learnt!

Rep added to both.

Ok I didnt like too much the Economy24h[.]com site, so I did a complete rebuild, now i think it looks way better, more modern and i have added backlinks to my other sites.

Opinions welcome!

Thanks.

Eth.

Well i don't know what to say for the site
I liked the diamond site better than the others but all sites do not have this "something" that will help visitors stay to the site for long and explore it
They look like a blog template half field. The text is few and i think that only adsense what you keep before you leave the sites
