Review for http://beststreams.net please!

This is a free movie site of ours.

Beststreams.net all about watching free movies online.

Can you guys please tell me:

- What should be changed about the layout?
- Should it contain a premium section?
- Should it contain a donation button?

Regards,

It looks like a blog. I would definitely change everything possible to get away from that look. :o

How will the premium section differ from the free section?

It may have to -- Google kicks sites like this out of the AdSense program every time they find them.

Here is my review:

I agree with Will. The website looks too much like blog. I would make the website wider.
Nowadays most internet users have high resolution monitors. I would make it at least
1200 pixels wide. And then I would put the movie posts side to side. Something like this:

But if you want it to look like a blog. Her are some things I would do differently.

I would bring the "Pages, Archives, and Categories" above the fold. So one don't have to
scroll down to see categories.

I would delete AdSense ads and the other ad block. They are not targeted at all.
At least for me. And I would also delete the adult friend finder thing. It is just annoying.
For getting money, wouldn't use any ad network. I would sell ad space on forums. For a monthly price.

I wish you the best of luck with your website.

I disagree with that. Most Internet users have monitors with high resolution monitors, but certainly not all. He's better off catering for as many people as he can. :)

I definitly agree with the first comments from everyone else.

Anything you can do to get away from the standard wordpress look will benefit your website in the long run.

The site does look rather plain as well. You need to really fill in the white space, choose a color scheme and make it obvious what the site is about, right when the visitor lands on your website.

The ads are a bit much as well. Until you get targeted ads and a comforting layout you might want to layoff having so many.

Here's what W3Schools shows from January 2008:

• Higher - 38%
• 1024x768 - 48%
• 800x600 - 8%
• 640x480 - 0%
• Unknown - 6%

Just a quick note:

Adsense + Adultfriendfinder on the same page is definitely not a good idea. ;)
