I got this site off Snapnames probably around 2 months ago. It was an old site on computer reviews, software reviews, etc. It got between 150 and 200 uniques a day and had a PR of 4 with a bunch of nice backlinks. But, it was doing horrible in terms of CTR when parked, so I decided to make it into a minisite.

Ripnet-UK.com

Please review on design, functionality, and user-friendliness.

PS - It's also my first site.

Thanks!

Pretty solid for your first site. It looks like most other mini sites though. It doesn't have that "lightning bolt" that would be sweet to see.
You mentioned that this site once had 200 uniques/day. How long ago was that? is it still PR 4 and are the backlinks still solid? If so, think about going back to what it once was. The templates are available, the voting/reviewing/blogging systems are available as well. might as well monetize your site this way. More control, more revenue and ultimately, more fun.

As it stands right now, it's not a bad first attempt, if you want to keep it as a mini site only, then beef it up some, make it more interactive.

My suggestion though, try to tap into the past potential of the site and try to revive what it once was just with a 2007 touch.

Not sure whether it is the menu or breadcrumbs or something but using Firefox 2.0:

Ripnet-UK.com | Home

Shows up floating on top of the main text on the index page.

As mentioned, not much to say about the site in general, looks like most other sites out there, nothing really setting it apart.

thanks for your reviews - i appreciate them.

and i do agree, it looks just like any other minisite out there. my goal was not really to beef up this site, because quite frankly, it doesn't cover topics im really interested in. i've checked out the old site on archive and got a feeling of what users were looking for from my statistics at namedrive when i had it parked.

i was simply looking to build a quick site that had some info on what people were searching for as well as some info based on what the old site had.

i figured if i could get the revenue up (from around 50 cents/day parked) to a couple of dollars/day or more, it would def be worth my time.

to answer your question, it is still PR 4 and has the backlinks and the same amount of traffic.

thanks again for your reviews - rep added to you both
