360 Fanatics
      #326267 - Sat Jan 13 2007 09:31 AM

I have made a website, http://www.360fanatics.co.uk
It was only made on friday, so i haven't had any visitors, i have submitted it to google and yahoo search engines.
any ideas of good free ways of getting people to my site?
And what does everyone think of the site?

I'm not a gamer so I wouldn't normally visit a site like this however I do have a few comments to make. It loaded very quick into the flash screen, in fact it was too quick as I couldn't read what was being sent across the screen and at first wondered what was happening. Secondly once on the home page the red writing on the blue background took a bit getting used to and the image of the X Box machine looks out of place on the right.Thirdly there are a number of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors (though I'm no real expert on that front but it was something I noticed straight away) that could be fixed not only on the front page but on some of the others as well. Saying all that navigation was easy and overall I think you've done a very good job for a first attempt. Well done.

The green text is hard to read against a blue background. The best and free way of getting people to your site is:

1. End each email you write with a link to your site
2. Join game related forums and mention your site
3. Tell all your mates and family about it
4. Find similar sites to yours and ask to exchange links

The site design has improved, however your reviews are lacking and out of date somewhat, you will need a big shake up in this area to make it interesting and unique from the bazillion sites out there already.

I'd consider a larger font than the one you're currently using, as this will help those with vision issues.

BLOG as often as you play, as soon as you finish playing on your 360, blog about it, tell us your achievements and Gamerscore, tell us your pro's and con's of the 360, tell us what else you use the 360 for.

Post in other 360 forums and tag your site in your signature.
