Hello friends,
I have been working on a new site for online casinos that changes depending on the device it is viewed on. Even the blog will enable/disable the sidebar when viewing it on a tablet depending on how you are holding it! On mobile phones, it automatically re-structures the menus and layout, and allows items to be highlighted, even on Android and iPhones. Check it out and tell me what you think please.
:cake:Grand Opening! Online Casino US -New Casinos for the USA. Reviews, Bonus Offers, Social Blog, and the top US Online Casinos | Real Money Online Gambling for Americans.
I know its still very young, but it is complete to an extent. I would love any advice or your opinions If you are looking for a blog post there let me know that too! I want it to be social, inviting, intuitive, and easy to use! Thanks again.
No one has any opinions before I start adding even more content? :withstupi
I would really appreciate any comments, good or bad. This is how I learn lol. I find it difficult to work with a “beginners mind” when I am feeling like my skills are finally getting good. Being able to deliver content that is full of information, but is also understandable, in both graphic interface, and contextually is what I am trying to achieve.
If you are too shy that’s OK… I will still review your new sites with by unbiased review hat on!I visited it – and I like the airy, feminine layout.
Although clearly I’m not it’s target market – I can see the appeal of this design.
10 out of 10 for looks.
However, it’s is a bit empty content at the moment – and does not seem to have any point or must read information.
I cannot see how this will entice a visitor to bookmark or ever come back.
2 out of 10 for information.
This feels like it is going to be a static site – one of hundreds in a webmasters portfolio. Set and forget.
I’m not sure how a static site ever manages to get a “social” feel.Thanks very much Paul. Yes I have a ton of content to add and atm its sort of empty (a few bonuses and a 4 reviews lol). Your last statement resonates with me and I wonder if I should open the blog up to other authors, and maybe integrate my first forum. Also I think you are trying to say it has no unique “evergreen” like content, let alone a decent pitch yet. Unfortunately that is my weak point, but as it develops I hope to have its “angle” unfold before me. Man, I sound like an artist trapped in a marketers body… Your comment has helped, thank you again.

I’m not sure how a static site ever manages to get a “social” feel.Gooner says exactly what I was thinking.
His closing “social” comment, I found especially enlightening.While social media is now another metric in the Google alog, I often wonder if people use these mediums because everyone else does or if they actually have useful and engaging social interactivity to offer their punters. It’s not all about bonus codes and casino sign-up offers
I think if your going to use Twitter, FB, Pinterest etc etc then develop these for interest of your visitor, don’t just add them because everyone else does.
Without offending you, try to remember, these type of sites are a dime to the dozen. Kudos on setting up a responsive site design. But try to think outside the box.
- What does my site offer that others don’t?
- Would I hang around and check out the site or hit the back button?
- Does this site encourage people to bookmark it?
There just a few questions every affiliate should be asking themselves when they either develop a new site or are working with their current portfolio.
I know there is a drive to keep setting up more and more sites to increase your network. However if they’re all offering the same things as a million and one other sites, then IMO your time is being wasted.
It’s far better to have 2 or 3 decent sites which offer a unique experience, which sets your sites apart from others, than to have 30 which look like every other WordPress site out there.
Added: I’m also not sure I like the images. I get the concept but in their mouse-out stage they are hard to see. They will be even harder to see on a mobile phone. When it comes to images and logos I’m very fussy indeed. Using editing software to increase contrasts etc etc doesn’t have to come at the expensive of larger files. I think there is a trade off between common sense and bloated file size.
Yesterday I commenced work on a responsive WP theme. It’s got all the bells and whistles, including HD and retina ready. Albeit it’s a purchased theme. But I’m looking at a good three (3) months work before it’s ready for Q&A. Then a week or so late it will go live.
I develop on a local test server with xampp (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) which sets up php, apache and mySQL on my PC. It’s heaps easier to develop WP locally, than doing it via a hosting server. Just some food for thought if your doing the later
This is some of the best free practical (meaning effective) advice to making a casino affiliate site around lol. By now I had hoped to have several authors looking for a nice blog post there, as well as filling out the content. Then I got hit with some set backs timewise… Your opinions and expert advice is steering me into the direction it should go. I believe it will be an open forum, social, with free blog posts (only hand sorted top quality articles) from good webmasters like you. I am developing a reward system for commenting, submittong reviews, etc
and some other unique features. Then again, it may get scrapped to focus more on Casinobonusandfreechip. Thank you again.Hi MC,
You’ve proven yourself to be an energetic affiliate who also holds a genuine concern to who you promote.
I would have sent this next part in a PM but it’s worth sharing with other affiliates. Either new or like yourself, around a while.
When I entered the business, I only interested in getting as many sites opened as possible. I didn’t plan anything I just bought domains and pushed out mindless casino portals. The BIG mistake I made, was not putting enough thought or time into each of them.
Consequently, although I amassed 50 sites within 2 years, none of them really amounted to much. Bits and pieces of content, most looked 1/2 finished.
Albeit they made some money but back then it was easy to make dollars.
Point I’m trying to make here, if I was you, I’d concentrate my energy and time into Casinobonusandfreechip.com. It’s a nice looking site. If that’s not running a responsive word press theme, maybe look at adding one. I believe that site still holds a lot of untapped potential. When you’ve achieved that, then move onto mobilecasinoparty.com and work that site into being a class act.
Having a large network these days is a challenge, especially if your a one person operation. It takes long hours to keep these run at their peak. One of the other BIG mistakes I made, was not allowing myself time to relax. Work and more work, year in year out makes for a tired, stressed and unhappy affiliate.
