Hi!
I recently did a site based on rc on-road cars. Nothing special, i would just like to hear your opinions.

Hi

It is a start for sure. Some great information for budding car nitro users etc. Few points though. You have one of the most popular subject matters - cars. I think you need to start showing a lot of pictures of them even on the first page. The site will come to life if you start doing that I am sure. Just seems a little flat now.

There are scripts that allow uploading of images from visitors. A lot of car owners love to show off their pride and joy so if you can get them involved in a gallery or something then the site will have added interest.

Be interesting to see the site again in the future if you stick at it.

Regards

MKJ
My ever changing site!

Actually we have album and forum where you can post pictures of your cars,... But to do that or to view pictures you have to be registerd. About the top page you are right. It needs more pictures of rc cars. I'll see what i can do.

Re: new site!

looks good. Great topic as far as drawing traffic but as was mentioned you need to splash up the front page with some color.

Your site is nice, I like it.

I am also running a Car related website with XOOPS and have been finding it very difficult to get a userbase to follow the site.

The site is www.SpoilerCar.com

I'd love to trad links with you as I don't have any partner links yet...


Sorry I can't give you much advise, I'm in the same boat as you mate...

Re: new site!

Interesting. I'm not familiar with RC cars but I know there is a large crowd that is. The traffic will come if the content is interesting enough. You want to tailor the content to the targeted audience. I don't know if your audience is more local or wide spread. You'll want to keep an eye on performance as traffic increases. Too much uncached items like stats can slow things down when you get busy.

One of my siteshttp://spda-online.ca is a car site focused on Subarus and a more local (Ontario/Quebec) crowd. We are a tight knit group that races in low budget grassroots racing. So we're not so much into bling or gossip but XOOPS is still great for either kind of car site.

Good luck.

You both have nice sites!

Tim1980-> about that link exchange thing no problem. Do you have a banner of your site? About that live chat on your site...something isn't working I tried the same chat before but something was wrong. It looked like two different users were on the same channel but they couldn't find eachother .

DonXoop-> thanx for a tip. Are you also interested in link exchanging?
