    Please critique my 1st minisite!

    I have been meaning to make a minisite for some time now and this is what I came up with after a few hours

    I am having trouble with the adsense integration, some of the ads arent appearing and its starting to get to me.

    The site is: www.paydayadvance.biz

    Let me know what you think - its a work in progress I plan on having at least 10 pages when im done.

    In terms of SEO - i have included a link to my blog which is a PR1, and also some sig links; i will do some directory submission as well but what else can i do to get some traffic?

    Thanks!

    I'd change the background color of the google ad on the right to white, and change the font color to match the other text, similar to what you did on the other two google ads. That one on the right really sticks out like a sore thumb.

    You're welcome, in the past i have had trouble blending the ads in with an exact color match until i found this tool. You just mouseover the color that you want to match, and it will give you the color code for that particular color. Best of all, its free.

    Good luck with the minisites.

    My opinion - header image is taking too much of space ..... putting some more content may be a good idea.. especially on the sidebar

    How do i fill up the sidebar with a list of my pages? I tried adding catagories but it got rid of everything that was already there.

    you need privacy policy, about, contact, t&c and sitemap for google to take you seriously. you can put them in the footer so they are unobtrusive, but really need them there in my opinion.

    I like it but feel it needs more content. I don't see anything wrong with the layout.

    do sitemaps really matter for a small minisite though? I thought sitemaps would only be relevant with big sites...

    Yeah, I wasnt too sure but I added one anyway - I think its an easier way for G to keep track of your site and index it readily

    Ok I added the Contact, t&c, privacy and sitemap to the footer and linked to the About page. Is there another way to do this so I dont need to create a new page?

    Top area of the page is very important. Your header image is taking too much space.

    HI

    its ok.. now you just need to make more of them if your goal is adsense income..

    add more adsense blocks.

    submit them to directories...

    buy some bookmarking services from people in DP to drive traffic and backlinks.

    keep adding content each month..

    good luck

    Tom
