Questions...

[vahsi000]

Firstly I'd like to ask if its against Google Adsense's TOS to have IGE advertisements on the same page or maybe I can remove google ads for that 1 page and put IGE Ads.

I'd gratly appreciate any advice on either of my websites:

http://www.elinegames.com - This is website is about mmorpg reviews which i'm currently expanding it to have reviews of Flash Games websites (also i'm planing on launching a section to encourage people to buy gold, this is where I want to put the IGE ads.)

http://www.fightyourbullies.com - This is sorta like a blog where I write stories based on true events and then give advice afterwards. I'm only running google adsense on this website.

Both of these websites are getting around 50 uniques a month, I'm getting traffic from msn every now and then for elinegames but it has been a while since i got any traffic from se's for my anti-bullying website.

I'll post more info as more questions are asked...

First pointers

Hmm...
The elinegames site seems kinda empty.
Add content, especially on the frontpage.

* The first link in the navi (Gamesite reviews) leads to a 404
* Why not explain the term MMORPG shortly?
* You have no articles about current games. WoW, Guild Wars, anyone?
* When I see your sitemap, you have loads of stuff that I can see nowhere on your front page.

Taking one look at your metas:

 <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="mmorpg, mmorpg reviews, free mmorpg, gunbound, runescape, rakion, thang online, conquer online, games, 
online games, multiplayer games, adventure quest, aegis online, conquer online, fly for fun, kings of chaos, maple story, planeshift, 
pokemon crater, risk your life, thang online">

I can not help to notice that almost none of those games are on the site.

Thanks for the crit. the first link on the web is a 404 because it's a new section that i'm adding to the website, it's actually "flash games - website reviews" it's basically where i have reviews of websites that host flash games(not sure if this is a good idea at all, but i can't find out without trying).

I don't think there's anyone left whom make a search about mmorpg and not know what it is, that's why i didn't bother writing about it in the first page, but it's something i'll do if others think in the same manner.

I don't have articles of those games because I haven't actually played those new games and when it comes to those games in the meta-tags, i'm still in the progress of writing them.

Thanks for telling me you couldn't (easily) find the content of my website, that only means that my links aren't actually user-friendly and i'll be looking for ways to improve the navigation.

Even if you don't think there are no more people who ask themselves "MMORPG...WTF???" there might well be some (even active gamers) who do not know the acronym.

A short intro would add other (searchable) terms to your website.

• Computer Game (class of)
• Roleplaying
• Playing
• Game
• Online

I don't think "I haven't played those" is a valid point. WoW, Guild Wars (to just name two) are some of the biggest games right now, so you better include them if just for the traffic.
You'll not be able to write a full review, of course, but some major facts, screenshots, etc.. should not be hard to gather.

Before you worry about the TOS for adsense, i think you should worry about abiding by the guidlines for Google in general....

On the second site, it appears (in my firfox) that the content is the same color as the bg.

Even if that wasn't an issue, i would just leave becase the page looks all messed up, without any visible content.

In the first link, you have seem to be stressing your keywords tag, which is barely ever used be the SEs, and if it is, you should probably not have more than 12 in there anyways.

In the title tag (one of the most important things) consider making it more relevent to a term that will actually be searched. Having your domain name there is of no concern to anyone who doesn't already know you exist.

The fact that it appears that you are using adsense for nearly all of your navigation seems to me to break the TOS which states that you shouldn't create pages solely for the purpose of adsense. Though it probably is o.k. But, you should put some links in a footer without the ads.

as far a that 404, that is a no no. It is better to leave the link off than to have the broken link built into your site. it will be very easy to add the link once you have content for it to lead to.

As far as IGE adds, i don't know what they are, as far as gaming; i know nothing.

But, i hope that this helps without sounding like i am bitching. 'cause i don't intend to be.

which website are you refering to " On the second site, it appears (in my firfox) that the content is the same color as the bg."? Also, what version is your firefox, I too have firefox and all of my pages seem fine to me. I wish I fully understood which pages you were talking about, but thanks anyways. (there's always room for improvement and no this is not an MFA website).

Thats not true
