My site

addaminsane · #1 06-21-2007, 01:15 AM

Me and my friends are making a poker portal with a growing collection of unique quality content on it. Tell me what you think - http://www.aintluck.com

I was also wandering, does anyone know about how to go about putting affiliate links in news feeds? Thanks.

(even though we passed Bodog's stupid site analization and "how will you promote us?" I think we'll stop promoting Bodog because of their CPA thing where if a player doesn't make a deposit in the same month they sign up, you don't get paid) SAD, cuz i had some good designs goin for BODOG Poker Skins

I think the website is very nice! Congrats!

I would shorten the black line that crosses the "spade" logo, though.

The site looks very nice and I might be alone here but I think instead of "poker skin" or " most downloaded skin" you should say "table skin" or most downloaded custom table skin"...I was under the impression that you mean "skins" as in poker room network skins. It wasnt til i clicked "face card poker skin " that i knew what exactly I was going to download.

I do love design though and the poker rooms on top of header look great as well.

Nice site and nice design. The only thing that I would say is that at least for me, the white bolded text on the "Poker Article Site Map" is a little rough on the eyes. I found myself veering away from that section. Maybe it's the white on dark gray background or something.

Other than that, nice work!

Also agreed. It's a very nice site, but the dark contrast then the bold white make it hard on the eyes.

Also(using Firefox 1600x1200), the g_banner.jpg I think extends too far to the left.

Nothing else is over to the left - you've got a bit of a block of space from the left side of the browser window until you get to the "Most downloaded skins" nav bar etc, but then that header image that starts with no space. I'd adjust that so it's in contrast with the rest of the site.

Also - just a silly thing but - when I read the words "Site Map" I automatically assume it's a map of the whole site. Although "Poker Articles" prefaces it, in my head I still just think "Site Map". I'd change the "Site Map" text to something else.

Is the "Forum Down" block going to be used for site news? If so, a date added in there would be nice too.

A newsletter that e-mails readers when a new skin/new content is added would be good idea too. This is a common site for one to find on travels but add to bookmarks and forget about. Keep 'em reminded!

Sunpoker and Dealer Dan,

Thanks alot for the advice, I will take heed. there will be alot of new content on there soon and we'll switch some things up. " and dealer dan, the block space is part of my design, i guess i thought it looked cool...
