First poker/seo site

[andrewg]

Any criticism would help greatly. This is my first poker/SEO site. Online Casino United States - Online Casinos For US Players

Just looking for ideas to move up in rankings. Pages are being added daily.

[PokerReviews]

Looks good. I'd love to do a trade with you! I own PokerReviews.us which will help both of our rankings if you want to do a direct A-B link.

Andrew's a good guy.

I think you are going to make a ton of money

I would recommend 1 casino out of all the ones you list. I'm sure that you will get visitors, who just want to be told where they should deposit, and may be confused about all the information on the page.

This obviously should not break the general style of the site, so maybe it would be better to feature some kind of "Not Sure Where to Play?" article.

I would also remove the "|"'s in the top navigation and replace them with some CSS that makes it look the same way, however, if this would require a lot of work, I would just leave it as it is (I suspect it could be difficult to change it)

I am new in the scene and trying to learn about the whole process in building sites, but I agree that you should put a call to action somewhere like a link to the site you recommend or the article like UW said. Looks great though.

I like the way you "open" the text on the front page, however, after reading the first paragraph I couldn't help myself from thinking "Sooo.. It is illegal for a US citizen to bet online?"

I really like the "honest reviews" link in the 2nd paragraph. I think it would be a good idea to track how many people click on that link specifically.

The first paragraph has this sentence that I think reads a bit "odd" (please note that I'm by no means a grammar wizard).

Back in 2006 the U.S. government passed a law called the UIGEA that banned online payments from betting.

How about,
"Back in 2006 the U.S. government passed a law called the UIGEA that banned online payments acquired from betting."

as far as tracking, I'm not that far in the poker business yet. Don't get me wrong, I am tracking, there is just nothing to track yet.

Hi Andrew.

I have to say I quite like this idea and the site in general, though I do think it needs a tweak here and there, obviously appreciate what you say in that it's your first site and for that I must say well done.

I agree with what uw says about the nav bar, I have not looked at the source code, so dont know what you have used for creating the site?, but I would definately break these up better either with style, images, table or whatever is appropriate to what you are using, also, the home page link is not active from the other pages on the site, obvious missing anchor in the code here. I would also create a small space under the nav bar, just think it would be a little more appealing on the eyes. The only other obvious thing I would change after my quick look would be to create some small space around some of the images, particularly those sitting in the 2nd paragraphs on your casino review pages. These are just things I would do if it were my site, purely for asthetic reasons.

I wish you all the best of luck with this and if I can be of any help on the coding front please dont hesitate to get in touch.

[andrewg]

So I took your advice and made some changes to the site. The nav no longer has pipe spacers, it's now an LI border. Some other minor changes throughout the site.

Ps. Unknown Webmaster, no code is too difficult for me to change I wrote every bit of it from the ground up, it's the writing that's difficult. I have someone else doing that.

[Unknown Webmaster]

I like the front page test better now.
