Advice on new site

any advice on marketing or really any aspect would be appreciated.

horrible logo/header
crappy template
way too many ads, it screams that all you are trying to do is make a quick buck off of it

crappy template

word, however, it’s not easy coming up with good content, I have 4 (possibly) 5 writers and i dunno if i can afford to not have ads, appreciate your time and opinions sir.

  1. The logo is horrible. You don’t need some fancy logo with fifteen colors, but it needs to be legible.
  2. Try moving the blocks in the left sidebar to the right sidebar. Don’t add any to the left sidebar.
  3. Copy the .htaccess file over from the Drupal zip to your site root and enable clean URLs.
  4. Install the token and pathauto modules.
  5. Is logging in something your average user will do? If not, hide it on the main page or at least move it down under the other blocks.
  6. Looking at the site, I have no idea what you do or what it’s about. If your theme has a highlighted region, you might be able to add a call-to-action or something.
  7. Enable the search module then add the search block to the top of the right sidebar.

The prize is that your the winning logo will become our logo, forever*. Some day we will likely make really nifty looking t-shirts and we will send you one for free when we do.

"your the winning logo"?

You should say that after a winning logo is selected, you will print shirts, and the winner will get a free shirt with their logo on it.

Also, the footnote makes no sense.

Are these supposed to be opinion pieces? or news articles?

Also, use an actual name for your username, not "vea.rits"

wow, thanks a lot! seriously will consider all this stuff.

your content is horrible. The posts are way too short for google to give two shits about it. What exactly is the vision of your site? Are you trying to make a high quality site for your own enjoyment or make money off of it? I’m by no means an expert but this site seems to have a million clones with meaningless (non-expert) political opinions.

don’t worry about all that, what about the site? i would never come to OT asking for opinions about content.

I wasn’t speaking to the content "opinion", more its length and originality.
