Website Review Needed!

First of all thanks for all the help from this forum.

Can you please review my website at www.gridviewguy.com?

Feel free to give any tips. I know I may have to remove the ads under Product and Hosting Spotlights and for this I have already contacted google. But, please give your advice on every aspect of the website.

Once again, thank you very much.

 

The site has a nice look, just one thing I noticed: it seems a few places (under the google searchbox and at the bottom right "latest blog posts" section) are using times new roman while the rest of the page uses arial or verdana. Also I saw in your style sheet it has "verdena" instead of "verdana"

Another thing I noticed with the Adsense is that it's under a label, which could be a problem too if Google reviews it.

 

Thanks for the reply. Just wait for 2 minutes and I will remove it and maybe then you can help me where to place Ads. Hold on don't go anywhere

 

Okay thanks to you I have removed the Ads below the label. So, now the only ads I have is the horizonal link unit at the top. And if you click on any article and scroll way down you will see the google ad that does not match anything. I would really appreciate if you could help me placing ads?

Thanks,

 

Here are a couple places I'd try:

1. a horizontal banner below the Latest Articles section

2. to the right of Hosting Spotlight, have a third column labeled Sponsor Ads with one small ad below it

3. a square ad block in the white space under Popular Articles

I'd use a similar blue/gray color scheme but maybe with a border or slightly different background color.

 

Wow! thanks for all the nice comments.

Thanks,

 

I have no basis for saying this, but I feel the "latest articles" section is a little disorientating to read. I'm not sure why.. font/spacing combination - other than that I like

 

What about the content pages? The pages which actually shows the whole article?

Thanks,

 

Hi Fervorite,

Thanks for the comments. I think you are right. Since, I have seen many other websites and they display ads (not google ads) on the right hand side of the page and shrink the width.

Thanks for your suggestions!

 

Website has been updated. Please check for more changes. I still need some advice about the content pages.

Content Page = The article page.
Thanks for all the help,
I really appreciate all comments.

 

Looking good

The only thing that bothers me about the content pages is that they are really wide - they take up my whole 1280px screen width and require horizontal scrolling if I make the window narrow.

 

Hmm. You are right. I guess I am not seeing this problem cause my Laptop is pretty wide screen. I will have to adjust it so that it does not appear.

PLS: Do you think I can put some ads in the content pages? The only ads on content pages are at the bottom with the product spotlight and hosting spotlight.



Thanks,

 

I like to put a square right at the top below the title.
