Hi everyone, we're new here to the GPWA. We have recently launched BestCasinoGameguide.com - an online casino games directory that includes hundreds of game reviews. This website is constantly developing and we are looking for some fresh look into this website to make it even better! We would like to hear your opinion about this website. We appreciate all your comments :)
The site is http://bestcasinogameguide.com/
Thanks for looking!
I like it, it is a big job there
That's one very impressive site :)
thank you! we appreciate positive feedbacks :) but if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share with us :)
thatīs a very nice page. Nice logo, nice layout and design the navigation is also very easy to use. It is great that you have videos for each game. Currently I donīt have any suggestions to improve "on page" but I will think about it. I think you have done a great job with this website. Itīs nearly perfect.
Cheers
The great thing about the site is that because you're targeting games, there will be a limitless amount of content you can keep adding.
It looks good.
One thing I would suggest for the games by software (just looking at Microgaming as an example) is to order the games by release date rather than date published as this will mean any players coming to the site looking for the newest games but not knowing their names will not be confused and you'll likely get a conversion from them. You could possibly add a list of "games that are hot", "games that are cold", "recent jackpot wins" etc etc. There are so many things you can do with those games lists.
My next suggestion would be that on the game page add something at the bottom of the game that says "You can play this game at these casinos" and add a few brands, or make the tabs more obvious, or add a button to the side of the area that implies there is more content like an arrow that sends them to the next tab or something. The tabs don't immediately stand out for me. I only saw them after I had scrolled past to look at the content.
I see you have recommended casinos under anyway, but they include brands that don't have MGS software, so a player might click and join thinking they can play that game at that casino then be thoroughly disappointed when they get in and realise it's not there. It could lose you the player.
You could also add the embeddable flash game there somewhere, perhaps to another tab called "Try the game for free" or something similar.
Those are my suggestions to start with. IMO they will help with conversions and make the information you want to display to the user more relevant and prominent.
Renee, thank you for your opinion :)
When it comes to:
- Published date - it could be really changed because now it can be misunderstoodQuote:

- now there are two tables that show players where they can play those games, adding next table will make the review overcrowded. it is ipossible to add everything everywhereQuote:

- we will do our best to check the availability of every game and correct every mistake, thanks! :)Quote:

- good idea :) There is "Play Free Casino Games" at the menu and players can now play some games, but maybe adding next tab to game review would be betterQuote:

Too many images is like banner farm.
Where is the text?
Wow that's a lot of information there. I like it though. Good luck.
Kind of. For example, since you are recording the games that are getting click throughs from your site (or hits to be specific), you could make a list of games that are hot based on that. I.e. the games most people are playing. It could get people clicking more through to those games/casinos you are listing on those pages.Quote:

I think so, only because it means less clicks for the visitor from the game they are looking for.Quote:

Yea, I agree but the images don't advertise something. We decided to pay attention to the visual aspect of the page, therefore there are many graphics. But we will think about adding some text, thanks!Quote:

On the homepage (I am using IE) if I click on 2 million BC or one of those games there, a new page loads but it looks exactly the same as the homepage. Is something supposed to happen?Quote:

To me looks exactly the same as the homepage.
Edit: Same thing happens in chrome.
Yes, we have already seen that and we are going to fix it. thanks!Quote:

This is a great site you have. Very nice.
Wow, the website looks really good, looks like you put a lot of work into it. If i may ask, when did you launch it? Are you seeing any traffic yet?
First off, nice looking site. It's definitely unique and different to most other affiliates, so kudos for that.
Here is my constructive criticism. I could praise lots of things, but I think you are looking for people to provide comments on places to improve so here is my 2c.
1. The domain name - I hate it. It's 4 words, it's not brandable and it's not memorable. I really dislike it. I'd much rather CasinoGamesGuru.com or something like that. The keywords aren't even that good from an EMD pov.
2. URLs. I guess this is Joomla? I really hate that index.php in the urls it looks spammy and just isn't clean. There are so many good options for CMS these days that there is no need to be building a website with unpretty urls.
3. doing a little bit of clicking I found this broken link - http://bestcasinogameguide.com/index...516-poker-ride - I only clicked a few pages so there may be more.
4. Monetization - what's your plans to convert people? For example this page - http://bestcasinogameguide.com/index...ssional-series. This is nice, however, your conversions are going to suck if you are planning on converting people via the recommend casinos tab below that. I would add a much more prominent call to action based around sending players to "the best casino(s) for xxx game". The "where to find" tab may not get any love so you want to make sure the user always has an option to go somewhere to play it for real.
5. The videos - I personally think these suck. They have no character and are just recordings of someone bashing buttons. I am skeptical as to the popularity of these with users, though this is just my own opinion. They may be very popular.
6. Similar games - again using baccarat as an example, number one is roulette. That's a poor representation of a similar game. The only similarity is they are both played in the casino.
7. Game by software - i'm not a fan of how this looks visually. Even adding something like a favicon for each game would improve the visual layout immensely, though I'd prefer something with larger graphics (again personal opinion here, maybe people want this kind of texty search engine)
8. The person icon in top right hand corner of box on homepage - how am i meant to know what that is or does? I clicked it and it seems to be a login area. How is a new visitor to the site meant to know that?
Hope some of the above helps.
