Hello! I am also new here and have the sites Valorantbettingsites.com and also topgamersguide.com
I went to IGB London not so long ago and really felt accepted into the industry even though esports is kind of a sidetrack.
I like the layout of Valorant Betting, but the site looks a bit “plain” to me—like there is too much white space where I feel like there could be images or navigation. I believe overtime Valorant popularity will surpass that of Apex Legends and Fornite. It's a great game and in its infancy stages too. Great niche website and I wish you best of luck.
Top Gamers Guide desperately needs a new logo, menu dropdown, and over reduction of white space in the header. You should make more use of the sidebars in the blogposts. Overall content is superb and you're going after all the correct keywords.
Your first domain, valorentbettingsites, could certainly do with some banners and your dropdown menu looks quite bare. Think about adding a theme to make your site vibrant and look pleasing to the eyes.
You better check all of the links to your banners as not all of them have a link attached to them and do nothing if you were to click on it.
As for your 2nd site which is top gamers guide, it looks nice but again, it can also do with a theme for it.
Your dropdown menu is exceptionally good and I took a liking to it. The way you can expand and collapse the arrows is a great little feature that you've added.
You've done a reasonably good job with both sites. It will all eventually pay off for you.
You'll find many great and knowledgeable members who you can always reach out to on here. Best of luck with everything, Gambleratheart, and welcome aboard to the GPWA!
WTF are you talking about???!!!Quote:

Back to the review...
I'm not going on to comment cause I'm not au fait with Esports.
While this niche does involved placing wagers, I'd recommend you also join (if there are any) an affiliate Epsorts Forum, where, I'm sure there are people with far more experience on what works and what doesn't in the promotion of Esports.
It's akin to asking for a site review on a po#n affiliate site. We're all affiliates but in different niches which target different markets, style, tastes and age groups.
Only advice I can give... It's not easy, it's a LOT of hard work being an affiliate. However, work hard for a 3 or so years, and you'll build a good foundation for future revenue. All the best with your new venture :)
Thanks for the helpful reply, do you have any theme in mind that you think would work great with topgamersguide?

rule #1 - never build your house on rented land.
I know this isn't directed to me but the theme is honestly fine. Just need to improve the logo, header, and navigation menu. Header needs some work and there is a lot of white space in the right sidebar.Quote:

I've never seen video game developer pursue an unofficial fan website. The consequences from negative PR is not worth it.Quote:

I understand how WordPress works as I've used it in the past. I'm just misunderstood about this. I do understand that you're using WordPress and that's all good. A simple search for the term "WordPress" in the source code will tell me if a website has it implemented or otherwise. I appreciate that and I have given you my honest opinion and I'm happy that you've decided to join this great forum.
I just wanted to clear the air :)

Take a look at these Esport themes to start with:
https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress?term=esport
When you decide to purchase a WP Esport Theme, make sure it's not a one (1) off payment.
Better to pay a yearly subscription. Why, you may ask?
Paying a one time fee doesn't give any incentive for the theme developer to continue to upgrade the theme. Way too many paid (one off payments) themes become totally useless, when, there is a major WP core update that changes coding used in these theme.
Whereas a yearly subscription theme payment, is more likely to have the theme developer continue to release theme updates/patches even when there is a major WP core update ;)
Given your past countless (clueless) WP comments, if you meant BG colours, one would say BG (background) colours.Quote:
