I like the colors lol, but anyway there is an error in upper right of header, and some synch object loads forever, never finished. Overall I like that its not a wordpress cookie cutter site.

[eenzoo]

- i see php errores in header and footer
- the color theme is not really mine BUT the gray on black is a baaaad contrast (sidebar)
- think the font-size is little to small
- overall the text content is really hard to read
- you have a problem with the responsiveness (the right upper box don't drop down in ipHone 6)

edit: http://www.bonuscasino.directory/1x2...-gonzos-quest/
is that font color a css bug? i have good eyes, but a #444 on a #000 background ???

So you've copy and pasted the promotional material from NetEnt word for word, stuck some ads around it, and expect it to rank and get clicks?

[pokeraussie]

I'd be shocked if that site didn't get hit with Google Panda.

Does it get traffic from Google?

Thanks @Scampi @eenzoo and @allfreechip for your first feedback.

Website is not completed, there are missing many pages/functions, but your feedback will drive me in the right direction.

- php error in the header/footer --> we have the web developer on it
- object that loads for ever --> this is the share function (going to evaluate and use another widget)
- the color theme is not really mine BUT the gray on black is a baaaad contrast (sidebar) --> text will be set in white
- think the font-size is little to small --> I think I will change the font/size
- overall the text content is really hard to read --> text will be set in white
- you have a problem with the responsiveness (the right upper box don't drop down in ipHone 6) --> Yes, I still have to optimize the mobile version
- edit: http://www.bonuscasino.directory/1x2...-gonzos-quest/is that font color a css bug? i have good eyes, but a #444 on a #000 background ??? --> text will be set in white
- So you've copy and pasted the promotional material from NetEnt word for word, stuck some ads around it, and expect it to rank and get clicks? --> obviously this is not the final version of the website, but I'm using it for testing purposes

Thanks a lot, I will wait for other suggestions

Thanks for your feedback, what do you mean exactly?

[pokeraussie]

Thanks for your feedback, what do you mean exactly?

The site is full of ads, low on content, etc etc. Exactly the type of site that would get hit by Panda if it hasn't already.

[eenzoo]

Don´t do this! Develop your website without bots, behind a htaccess until a reasonable live version.
You´re punishing yourself with this kind of content. Irreversible!
But honestly ... i don't think thats for testing purposes!
Some guys pushing harder the the rest and some try to walk the easy trail!

Btw. pokeraussie talks about "Thin Content" ... one of the ten „post panda“ capital sin´s!

[sweetbet]

coding errors, colors and text sizes can all be adjusted, but a search engine penalty for thin or duplicate content would not be so easy to deal with.

Top area is not properly responsive. Generally a good site but I suggest focusing on intent. ie each page should aim to get the visitor to take a particular action. Or maybe your sub pages do that anyway.

[wonderpunter]

the days of building a directory with just links to a program are long gone, a website is just not enough these day's for longevity (or even just to get off the ground) you need to provide some value to the reader, your site is a prime example of what not to build, you have a long way to go

[bettingmalta]

Thank you guys!

Add a "noindex, nofollow" tag to all pages as soon as you can...
Never, never send to index a "development in progress" website.

[JeanIA]

Nice looking website.

Keep working hard at it but like the experts say, try to avoid getting indexed by Google when developing.

Also, that's on my part but lighter colors (white instead of black on orange) would probably look better with dark writing (not grey).
Tough for the eyes

[Ares]

I like it.
I especially like the domain though. Wonder how these new tld are doing....

[FruityJelena]

Some of the free slot games (actually 5 of 7 exposed - Go Bananas, Lost Island, Wish Master, Wonky Wabbits and Robin Hood) are not working in Fun mode. In Real mode non of them. Maybe you should link it with particular casinos that offer these games

Good luck with your further job

[rouletteguru]

I'm a writer for a lot of sites and the owners always make a big deal about site responsiveness on mobile devices. One one particular site there was one of the new domain extensions, but it was NOT even recognized by Ipads, Iphones and Androids (at the time). And then the owner left the site (still has it) but started again under a .com domain. Otherwise they were at the time missing like 15% of their traffic. It may be different now I havent checked.

The .directory may be ok later, but for now be careful of these new extensions.

[Miles_FTA]

Ye you have to fix the link issues and games that's a big let down people want to see a functioning site if your advertising casinos and want people to click from your site through to these then they expect to see things working.

Overall I like the look and feel but it does have similarities to many sites Ive seen before be caureful not to copy others try be your own as this in itself could be dangerous.

Make sure your content is unique you can get a good writer here on GPWA and invest in some unique articles why get penalized by google before you've even started .

I think you should use blue color instead of orange and red...
