My first opinion was that this was a site that was done by someone that knew HTML and not graphics. The logo really didn't say "Professional" at all. Not that I could do any better, but that's why we hire graphic artists.

As for content, I didn't see much other than fluff. There isn't really any "This is what you do", but just a couple of affiliate links and some other people's tools on your site.

There is a lot of potential, but it'll take a whole lot of content to meet that potential. How-to's, things to avoid, how to tell if you're banned, etc. Give people something of value and you'll start getting links, traffic, and those advertising clicks it looks like the site was built to attract.

As it is now, the site doesn't tell anyone if you really know SEO or not. It shows other people's tools. It also doesn't show if you've done homework on the tools you're offering.

Ok, so what makes this one you suggest ethical? Be careful, choose this one, but I won't tell you why. That doesn't help anyone understand why to choose one or the other. Tell people you're an expert, this is what's wrong with some of the programs, and this is why yours isn't that way.

I greatly appreciate the detailed review and just wanted to add that the site will be growing rapidly as I have tons more content still to add and also wanted to mention that shortly I will be swapping the current seo tools & autosubmitter for ones of my own creation which I will be able to explain in greater detail since I will have a complete understanding of how they work, their effectiveness along with what seperates them from the bad eggs.

Thank you for your time Brian.

Mike

Sounds like you're on the right track then. I eagerly await seeing the results.

Brian.

Setting up a site that gives advice to web masters is a tough call - you're going to be targeting folk who know more than the average surfer about sites. I certainly would think twice about it.

Sorry, but from what I see so far this site is little help to anyone but you and your affiliate and Adsense programs.

Get that 'tons more content' up there, because at the moment there is little there - and all of it is available on 1000s of other sites.

A webmaster's site should really be aiming at compliant XHTML without tables. Instead you don't even use a stylesheet. The only 2 links I tried were a dead ones - "http://www.web-master-central.com/www.instantposition.com" and "http://www.web-master-central.com/graphics.html"

Design-wise, you have two conflicting and distracting backgrounds. The stretchy over opimized jpeg header logo - any webmaster would know this should be a gif.

I'm sorry to come down hard on your site. There are others who would rather say nothing that give a negative report. I think being honest will help you long-term more. However, trying to find something positive to say is hard...

From a design standpoint, the site looks extremely dated - late 1990's perhaps? As a "webmaster", this site is not a reference tool I would ever use (plus my feeling is the site is not current) - first impression tends to sell to me.

The header looks terrible, especially on my 1280 wide screen, and the layout is unsettling.

Just a bad feeling overall, sorry. I didn't venture in past your homepage.
