Heya guys, Rory here

I mentioned in a thread last week that I got the domain www.internetgamers.org
I paid a medium price for it $50. There the post.

Well, I purchased the domain because they is my love at the moment Internet / Online Gaming, so it would be easy for me to develop. So I did

Site : Internet Gamers.ORG

So what you think?
Like the layout?

[akula]

nope. no good.

the site does not achieve its objectives.

if you're objective is for me to buy/do something, you site fails in performing its function as a sales instrument, because you haven't designed it with sales in mind.

there is a range of things you can do to remedy the situation

[soccer-boy]

Instead of saying there is a range, why not try helping someone for once!!!!



Maybe im still steaming a bit about the World Cup scores, but you always seem so negative and unforgiving.

Well I am a huge gamer, i like the content of the site such as the 30,000 WoW accounts being banned however there is just something about the layout. Its not too bad but it could be a little bit more appealling. (dont ask for ideas tho :P)

also i have been working on www.ssbbforums.com and its about to launch. So if you are a Super Smah Bros. fan too check it out.

Akula, a better question should be "what ARE the objectives?". I am unsure - is it a sales platform as Akula assumes?

thanks, I'll try to improve.

if you'd like to, you can give me pointers on the kind of things you expect from me and I'll try my best to meet your demands.

just take it easy. there's always a reason for things.

Ok im a bit cooler now.

The point I was tryng to make is that you are quick to criticise, and come to your conclusions rather abruptly. (which may be a quality).

Just try to be more constructive in your criticism.

Nice layout - its pretty good

ok. great. warning: no easy answers. success hard.

1) Decide your category. Are you running a blog? A portal? A directory? A community? A brochure for a product? State the top three objectives for this site.

2) Id your competition. Draw a chart comparing your site to your competitors. Identify a differentiator. Be strong where your competitors are weak. Don't attack where your competitors are strong and you are weak.

Display chart on your site, so the value of your site is recognisable by way of comparison.

3) Id your target market. Focus on a psychographic who are most profitable and who need you the most. Email these people and do a survey regarding what they want from your site. Email these people and give them jobs.

4) Id partners. Find sites who need you to compliment their weaknesses with your strengths. Do cross promotional deals.

These are some of the more important things you can do to maximise the future valuation of your site. There are other things you can do.
