Site Review- www.oddspalace.com

[TallSimon]

Hi all,

Along with my other new site (Fambon), I would appreciate it if you could take some time to review my new site (Oddspalace) & provide any constructive criticism.

Thanks & have a great day

Hi oddspalace,

Very nice looking site. I personally appreciate the demure color scheme - makes it look quite professional. With some more contents, it will be even better.

I could suggest for the "Learn to Play / Game Strategy section" that you add some free flash games to give your visitors the opportunity to try the games for free from your site itself before signing up at the casino. If you have any interest in this, let me know.


Cheers,

Hi oddspalace,

I agree with Amy - always a fan of greyscale sites that really make the creatives pop! I also really like the Learn to Play / Game Strategy section, as it's something not so run-of-the-mill, and something that creates value and will no doubt contribute to securing repeat traffic, as well as contribute to your site's credibility.

I'll PM you about some partnership opportunities I think you'd be interested in

Cheers,
Dee

Hey Simon,

Nice to see you on the forums.

Your site is coming along nicely, I agree with Amy it looks very professional.

Good luck

Looks pretty sweet.

Personally I would keep with the grey but make the "Featured Online Casino Promotions" white. I think it is better to keep with black writing on white background where possible.

I also like you site a lot! The colors on your logo look awesome! I noticed a few of the brands you are giving exposure to have some low resolution, but thats all I found! Great job on the site!

[TallSimon]

Thanks for all the feedback so far guys, really appreciate it.

Keep it coming

Really cool looking website, very nice

You should add a cute favicon, would make it look even better I think.

Otherwise, nothing needs to be changed, looks awesome.

Nice site and good domain.

[Richard (OLBG)]

Yes, site looks great.

I cant see a reason for me to go back to it though. I cant see a tie in or email i can subscribe to or facebook group i can join or something particularly unique to make me bookmark it. Or i cant see that it will have regular fresh content which i should keep going back to check out. So that would be my constructive suggestion for something to work on next.

On the Casino section - you dont seem to be targeting other regions, only "$" offers? Perhaps you can try to create more content by developing the site to review section to showcase the best casino's by region - tell the user why they should play online, where they can get the best deals and what these casino's have to offer. (ie. differentiate the content from every other casino review page online). You don't seem to have any content up there for newbie gamblers - that might not ever have played a casino game online before? (What are payout rates, what seals of approval people should look for , how are they regulated etc.)

I also notice you don't have any Micro Gaming casino's up there - if you are going to suggest casino's users can play at you need to be "neutral" in the recommendations you make and provde a full range of the software choices that are available as each supplier has differentiated games on offer and you want to spread the net wide to target a broad audience and convert them.

Would be great to get some jackpot winning content up there or a jackpot ticker to show the bonus pot growing, these are good calls to action to get playing for a casino punter. Speak to your affiliate manager(s) in order to get fresh news and content that encourages players to try any of the casino's you are promoting. (For example - there are several big Casino promo's on at the moment, such as Mega Million Give Away or Grand Slam of Slots)

All in all - a really nicely designed site, and I wish you all the best of luck with the launch!
Feel free to ping me directly for more idea's - am usually happy to give them away - for a few beers in return

Cheers guys

Michael- Favicon is definately on my list of things to include and should be up in the next couple of days.

Richard- I'm going to use Oddspalace site as a reference point for a couple of other sites. Fambon (which is currently down due to server issues but will be back up in a couple of days) is a deal site that lists the very best deals in online gaming. Currently working with some companies to get some unique offers including discounted subscriptions etc... I link the Oddspalace site from the Fambon deal as a reference/review/information guide for the user so they can review the company / game which the deal is associated with. Also in regards to coming back to the site, there will be a subscribe section on their shortly that will subscribe to the Oddspalacedaily blog, which will be updated daily with gaming news, offers, promotions and such things as Best bets for the day. I will link the Oddspalace site to a lot of these blog posts, similar to Fambon.

Lee-ann- Nearly everything you mention is on my list of things to do but I had to launch my site sometime. Will continue to work on these things in the coming weeks/months to hopefully start generating some traffic.

Once again, thanks for the feedback and hints.

Just letting you know, i get an error when going to the domain.

[TallSimon]

Yeas I'm aware thanks, just changing web hosts at the moment. Should be back on line tomorrow.

[TallSimon]

All sites are up and running now, thanks

Simon

Hey Simon are you an Aussie? I noticed AFL and the major Aussie Bookmakers out there. Aussie here - up in Brissy.

I'm not sure why the sportsbook review pages, took over 30 seconds each time to load.. looked like the page had finish loading and sorta broken.
I think it was getting stuck on loading something from "js.sportsbetaffiliates.com"
http://oddspalace.com/best-online-bo...ews/sportsbet/

Sweet logo, sweet layout - very envious of those 2.

[TallSimon]

Hi Rak, yeah I'm an Aussie

That page is hanging because the Sportsbet affiliate site is down atm. Thanks for letting me know though

Cheers
