SITE REVIEW: FreeMySQL.net

I am looking for any comments, suggestions of the site: http://www.freemysql.net

I'd like good hints on maybe how to place advertisements or status information, like total signups… any helpful suggestions will be great thx

does it suck that bad?

12 views... no comments and 10+sites had comments above mine, o~well

You use pop-ups. I reckon a lot of us here at Ozzu won't bother spending any time at a site that uses them.

.g

I tend to agree with the previous comment, you created pop under adverts for 888.com and others. Kinda deters anyone from wanting to visit your site and is definately not a good advert for your business.

Other than that, the site if easy to navigate but if your idea is to sell adverts in exchange for free databases i think you need to be more subtle about it

Good luck.

Alright so no popup, I’ve seen allot of decrease in donations and banner clicks happen after I added them... they weren’t really a move I was planning on doing, I want to keep the banners. as these sometimes to have a good and helpful items at times

Excellent, thank you. Now that that's out of the way, it looks like you have a pretty standard template - easy on the eyes, familiar navigation - good ingredients to put people at their ease. I notice there is a little banner above the header. It's 110x32 pixels, a little to the left, and looks very lonely and out of place where it is. Also, advertising is fine, but your casino banner contrasts so greatly with the rest of your content (visually, I mean) that it becomes the focal point of the page. So your page is pretty top-heavy. There's a big header, a big penguin, a flashy banner, and then the rest of the page is pretty text-heavy -- and consequently, easy to ignore. I wouldn't suggest going nuts with it, but the text on your homepage could use just a little more energy: fewer paragraphs, more bullets/headers. Make your point quickly, make it well, draw people in and keep them there. Once you have their attention, have them click to get more info.

You're off to a good start. Hope that helps, and good luck with it.
