Yes I am a newbie. I have been into this gambling industry too long not to use my knowledge. So my site is half finished but I have began promoting the site with good success. Page rank is bogus so I will not even go there. This could be a secret question but what is the ideal page demensions? is there any linux pros at this forum that would be fun. I need some link exchanges for my online gambling portal. The people I contacted just ignored me but I do have good news i just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance. Greek39 from Canada eh!
P.S I have one casino and half a web site
I like my page at 750 wide and centered, because it can be viewed at various resolutions.
As far as link exchanges go, I think a lot of webmasters are skeptical of exchanging links with a gambling site.
I would find a list of free directories and submit them there.
Thanks for the Geico ad, too.
:1circlingThanks for your help i knew i had my page set to wide 1000. I need links for my gambling portal. The casino can sit and rot.
Yes … 750 to 760 wide seems to be a popular size.
I think that it came from the old 800×600 screen resolution size …but now I think it’s becausse although nearly everyone has sexy 19″ monitors and much high resolutions … they are surfing with 3 or 4 windows at anyone time …
(or is that just me ?)
:la-de-da:Anyway … 750 – 760 wide seems to work well …

Thanks for the help. I am debating on keeping the site 1000 wide. I have a 17 inch and my site seems to look fine. With people going bigger I just take the risk. thanks
800 x 600 is still the lowest common denominator when designing a web site…there are still a large number of people out there with smaller screens sizes. Think laptops and people in 3rd world countries that can’t upgrade as easily. 1024 x 768 is a popular size, but you have to design to the lowest common denominator.
Hey greek, have you considered using an expanadable layout? If you use tables, you could set the width to 100% or 90% or something. This would fill up the entire screen, regardless of how big the monitor is. If you use a fixed width greater than 750 (i.e. if you use 1000, like you are considering), then you risk annoying those people who have smaller monitors. I absolutely hate it when I have to scroll horizontally to read a page.
If you look at this page (near the middle of the page), you will notice that 25% of the population still uses a screen size of 600 x 800. The number is shrinking each year, but I don’t think I would design a site without taking this 25% into account. If 25% of your visitors leave your site immediately because it’s too hard to use, you could stand to lose a lot of money….
My 2 cents.
I will change the width it might take some time but will do. Thanks so much for everyone’s input. greek39 from canada eh!
