Thank you all! Grate community. I am very eager to hear from you

Why would it be harder to evaluate a gambling site?

First off, your logo is hard to read. The "C" in caasino is washed out with the slice going through it. Make the C bigger maybe. The cashsplash.gif doesn't display. Over all the site makes me feel like i'm in Vegas so you must be doing something right :-)

I would make the section "Message from Casino Talks Team" a link and put an ad or graphic in place of the text.

You've got a lot of wasted white space on the bottom - good place for a Google ad. You've got consistent navigation for your pages but you might warn people when a link is going off site.

I don't do Online gambling and don't plan to but I give your site eight snowflakes! (on a scale of 1 to 10 snowflakes)

lol sorry that seemed funny.

Seriously though, I believe this site is fairly sad. Your site design is great, yet it seems as if it is an ad site.

There is a great deal of content, 80% of which I saw was flashing banners and ads.

But, if you can reach the market of online casino players who are ready to pay, then your site is pretty much ready.

Good luck!

Ha Ha, why yes I did say that didn't I?

Hey I'm beginning to think I have a stalker...

Haha. We are just posting at the same time, well I'm setting up camp to get more reviews of my current site lol.

You have good reviews though, I pretty much agree with all of them.

Wow, so quick responds!
First of all, thank you very much for your kind inputs

Yes, I agree with you. The "CasinoTalks" logo will have a new look next week

I am also serious about banners either,mate!. I am thinking of cutting down 2/3 of the banners and using auto "Text Links" in the whole site.

The "auto text link" script will find the predefined phrases/terms in the whole site content and put a link to them (something that Seochat.com are using).
I have had it already but it is developed for Mambo only.You can see it in action with the phrase "online casino" at my site.

Do anyone here know where to find the similar script which can be intergrated into any site? I am sure it will be a killer scipt for all webmasters.


WoWzers, the thinking that alsmost all my readers (internet gamblers) are lazy readers had made me decide to put many banners on the frontpage.Furthermore, banners will help to help to gain click-through rate. Do you agree?

BTW, I would like to ask for your advice about the small anti-spam icon in my newsletter box. Should I remove it? The present of the icon may remind readers about spam and discourage them to sign up. Clearly,it's an side-effect of the icon.

Once again, thank you very much for having reviewed my site
