[Req-template] - $100

[Marty Rogers]

Type of Contest : New Template for fun4free.co.uk

Prize : $100 via paypal

Contest End Date & Time : 30th January (midnight, UK time!)

Hi Everyone!

Take a peek at my website www.fun4free.co.uk - as you can see, it looks terrible and the logo says myspace codes even though it's a site for fun haha. I need somebody to do me a new design for the site, i just need a designed page, html and css coded for me so i can go straight onto adding all content myself.

My website is mainly for myspace stuff, but im planning to add FUN stuff (as should be added anyways!) so i'd like something targeted to a teenage audience (myspace users, gamers) etc.

The website above has a layout i really like, scroll to the bottom and look how the layout seems over overlap the background? Looks cool. Maybe something similar for my site could be good?

The website above has good colours. I want a template with a nice happy, bright feel to it. Nothing too simple! I want something with 3 columns and i want it to take up 100% of the screen... maybe 98% with a background showing either side through the little gaps or something?

If anybody takes this on, use your imagination, be creative and make me smile! hehe.

Thanks to anybody who takes part - i may chose a winner before the 30th, if i see one im in love with (if im allowed to do so!)

Adsense ads on your site

Hi,

I just had a quick look at your site and wanted to offer you this advice. Your adsense ads currently look exactly like adsense ads and so your not getting the most money you could be. Everyone knows what they look like these days... blue links, black description and green url.

If you want more people to click on your adsense ads I would:

1. Leave the blue title colour the way it is as it works well and people have always associated the colour blue with links.

2. Leave the adsense description text black as this works well also.

3. Change the colour of the urls from green to black. At the moment the green urls stand out too much and people immediately see that if they click on that link it is going to take them to another site. You want people to think these links are just navigational links for your site and will take them to other pages on your site. If you make the links black then they blend in with the black description text and are much less noticeable.

You may also like to think about making all links on your site one colour. So if you are going to use blue links in your adsense ads then make most other links on your site blue so they blend in and just look like other navigation on your site.

One other thing I would definitely do is add an adsense link unit at the top of your page in the header so it looks like naviagtion links for your site. You can see an example of this on my blog here http://applemobileiphone.blogspot.com/ Notice the ad link unit at the very top of the page and also notice how all the adsense ads (in the right column and very bottom of page) blend into the page and how the description and links are the same color so the link doesnt stand out as much.

Just some advice I thought I would offer on how you could definitely earn more from your adsense.

Cheers,

WILL
