Please review my site

I think you need a total redesign of the website. I know a lot of websites look similar, and there is a reason for this. One thing is for sure, you need to make it easier for players to find an offer they want. Stick the offers in their face

Hi Randy. Do you think that adding all of the deals to the left menu as unknown suggested would achieve this without a total overhaul? Like Poker Rakeback - The Best Rakeback Offers for Online Poker Players at Rakebackftw.com ENG Home for instance? Do you think i'd be better with a side menu on the left and right sides of the page. One with offers and the other with the current menu for pages?

Why do rakeback provides offer such difficult programs. Im not trying to put anyone down here but really.

holy url batman!

The chart should be above fold, your urls would be better if they were shorter..Its to bad there werent more options available to you. If the pages are better equipped with everything you could need you make more money right and in turn make them more money correct? I dont get it.

As far as your homepage goes. I dont care for it myself. I understand the whole mafia godfather bit BUT I think you may have gone a bit overboard especially since your going after more experienced players and not novice players who still giggle when they see emoticons on poker.com

Your bottom chart has join links but no affiliate links. It goes to the review. if I was ready to join, I should be going to the poker room.

Thanks for the constructive advice Kaus. The mafia thing was far more about brand recognition that anything else, although i definately see your point. Do you think it's off putting to serious players, or would you just leave it now it's done? As for the bottom links to the review pages, it's absolutely impossible for me to alter those in any way. I do actually think that it's quite important for people to go to the review pages first though, so they can follow the clear cookies and enter sign up code instructions. Bearing this in mind, would you add/remove anything?

Poker Strategies and Articles obviously has room for improvement in terms of content. Do you play yourself, do you have any funny stories to tell or valuable lessons on your journey to where you are now?

You could start to try to dominate a keyword like "how to beat your friends at poker" and incorporate that and talk about how to beat home games and that could become your niche, just an idea...

I run my own poker section and i'm getting traffic through my Betfair Poker Fish List and those key words rank me quite highly on google. laytheodds . com / online-poker

Where did you find the rakeback calculator script by the way?

[pokerextras]

Thanks for re checking. I know my content is weak. I'm running multiple sites and have definately neglected it. I'm currently more concerned with why my conversion rate is so low, rather than getting more traffic though. This site is page 1 for rakeback, poker rakeback, and quite a few related terms. The site is supplied by rakeback engine, so the calculator comes with it.

Rakeback calculators are pretty easy using php. not a ton to it if you just want it to do the basics.

I would place the rakeback offers somewhere on the landing page where you do not have to scroll down to see it. If its not right in front of you and you have to scroll down to get what you want once you hit the page a lot of surfers are gone

Edit:
I see that you have the left column with the links to the site but they are totally not the focus when you hit the page. The huge image draws you right in and I didn't even see the rakeback offers until I scrolled down. I think you need a small image by the names of the sites or complimentary colors that make the links pop so they draw more attention to the user and maybe try shrinking down the Image on the right.

PS also website magazine (google it its free online) recently had an article on hotspots and images and how they can have huge impacts on conversion rates
