TheBettorGuide.com Site Review

[Frank Benjamin]

Hello all,

I have seriously redesigned my site to offer free picks, original articles, forum and affiliate program.

I would greatly appreciate any review of the site what you like and dislike.

Thank you in advance

Good layout and design. Great content!

I like your theme/philosophy of investing Vs. gambling and feel the articles you chose to publish touch on many of the important points to becoming a winning sports bettor ie. bankroll management, line shopping, stat sites, forums, etc.

Interesting that you run a stubhub banner. Hope it generates some click$ for you

I'm still not sold on the corner flip banners. IMO makes an otherwise professional looking site look a bit cheap ? Jury is still out for me on those corner flips...

Looking forward to football season!

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply and review. I've had sometime in the last couple years to write a few articles. During NFL season, I usually have more ideas for articles. I truly believe that there is a responsible way to gamble, and my method is more investing than gambling.

I just added Stubhub. They do sell sports tickets as well as other events. But I am mainly doing it as a favor for a partner on the website. He makes a lot of posts in the forum. I know he has a following at a few other forums and a pretty big newsletter list. So marketing his stubhub account (I am also earning some for any purchases made with his affiliate link) is a little payment for free advertising to a list and bringing people to the forum. This should payout better during the NFL season.

I kind of understand your view of the corner flip banner but I am not sure if I agree that it "cheapens" the site. I always thought it was an interesting script. I am planning on using it for real special offers and changing it periodically. Too each it's own I guess. But I would like to hear what other people think about the corner peel script. I am not married to having it.

Thanks again for the review!

One thing that I do like on your site is the simplicity of the design. Do you apply a CMS on it as it just like a social networks site. Full of content, good articles, the navigation. Just a couple of suggestions, since your site pages are well customized, you just need to include a sitemap, just a little help for users for a quick navigation and put also links/resources page to get a back link to other site.

[Frank Benjamin]

Yes I do use a CMS. The site is actually done via Wordpress. I tried building my own sites before, but this is very nice and easy to update since I only have enough self tought knowledge to make me dangerous. I actually have been able to modify and customize the template to what you see infront of you.

I am trying to add a link/resource page. All the plugins available seem to have some issues with them. That is the very last thing I am looking to add. I hope to find a working plugin shortly (it may just be me and my limited coding knowledge, lol).

Thanks for the sitemap idea. For some reason I completely forgot about it. I had it on other versions of the site in the past. Looking to add that now!

[bbonline]

Well I guess you if the resources page is fixed, better send me a PM for link exchange. I'll be interested buddy.

Link Directory is now up and running. Anyone fill free to submit their link.

Overall, it's a good gambling site. Positively many original contents that can make your website unique in SERPs. Your only problem though in the future is how are you gonna defend your rights once your contents are copied.

I like the theme color too. Great work!

Thank you for the kind words. As for defending my content, isn't that a problem for most. Any suggestions?

[Frank Benjamin]

I found a plugin for my site that disallows right click and copying text on my site. That will help with content thieves, but I still need to see if I can do something about the source code.
