SITE REVIEW: www.monkeymeter.com

Hello,

I have been hacking away for several days now, and think I am ready for your input. Please review my site http://www.monkeymeter.com and let me know what you think...about anything. The sites been up all of 2005, but I have finally really gotten some work done on it.

It's a road rage site.

There is also one page I am still working on, it's the Trend Page so try to hold back on that one. I am trying to add dates to all of the bar graphs.

Thanks,

Rob

lol, this is an interesting site...i wonder where shotgun blasts at jaywalking squirrels fits in here....I think it would be neat if you had a us map graphic with image map links to all the cities and graphics of cars rolling across like Route 66 and the like. You might also want to put a section in for "Stopping Your Own Road Rage" with advice on the dangers and tips on how to avoid it personally. Overall, a neat site.

In regards to jaywalking squirrels, I have actually been thinking about that. Well not really, but I belong to another forum for humor webmasters, and a couple of them make flash games. I have been thinking of getting some kind of fun game made so the visitors can blast their fustrations if they are still raging.

I do have a section about with advice about road rage, but I guess I need to make it a little more obvious. It just has one link.

In regards to the map, I'n not sure if you ment a silly image, or something like this:

I am trying to integrate the info into the google maps now.

Thanks for the Input!

Oh, and here is a link for everyone for Googles new Map API

http://maps.google.com/apis/maps/

The Google Maps API lets developers embed Google Maps in their own web pages with JavaScript. You can add overlays to the map (including markers and polylines) and display shadowed "info windows" just like Google Maps.

Nice site and well put together, but the Ads, the Ads are so huge that my eyes are drawn away from the content of the board to stare at 3 huge spiders crawling across the top and down the right side of your site..lol

Other than that though, a very original site with amusing content, good layout.

8/10.

Its the way i`l put it when it comes to what it is about and content....im nut much of a pro in webcreation but im a big surfer on the net and know if a site is interesting or giving me ore others something of usefullness..And this site does...Cause it was all new stuff inn there for me and having it beside in a open window i still havent left it:) your "page guiding" is easy to understand i think, cause i got where i wanted and got the info i searched, at the place i supposed it would be and thats always must i think:) good work...
Keep it up. from ..... Pokerspider

Thanks for both of your inputs. The ads... you are right, and it was something I didn't noticed. When I look at my site the ads are blocked out, and I never realized how LOUD they can be. I am comfortable having ads, I just need to find a happy medium.

I just got a killer new logo header for the site. Let me know what you think. Also if you happen to be road raging please post something in my new forum. Thanks! Link: http://www.monkeymeter.com/phpbb2/

Nice all around, I would consider toning down the ads. I thought it was going to induce a seizure.

Why are you limiting your traffic to only Americans?

That is something I most definately plan on doing. Just have not figured how I am going to do it yet. I plan on adding many countries besides the U.S.. No reason to miss out on traffic there.

Grab my RSS feed, and you will know when I add it!

What exactly is RSS feed? It says it doesnt have any styling with it and shows me a bunch of HTML code.

It's still kind of new, but has been around for almost a year I think. Here is a little more info on my site: http://www.monkeymeter.com/rssread.php


But here is a link to what rss is all about: http://my.yahoo.com/s/rss-faq.html

So what exactly does RSS stand for?
