[Website]Universal Programming

Hi there, I have developed a website called
universalprogramming.com
and I would like you to criticize the layout, and programming.
Thanks, please let me know how I did.

Re: [Website]Universal Programming

There's allot of ads, Other than that the layout is OKAY.. The ads don't really go well with the site.. You'd be MUCH better off doing affiliate ads integrated in with content. For instance, you can have a tutorial on PHP, and then have a link for people to buy a great PHP book to get better. People who find that web-page are most-likely looking to find a PHP tutorial, so return should be much higher, because it's not just some random ad, it actually has purpose. People won't buy anything unless you give them a reason to.. Some people buy things for any reason.. But there has to be a reason- be it good/bad.. It should also make sense, some-what.

I very much agree with you on the ads, although the main site is not supposed to be visited that often compared to the forum.

The forum's ads should match with the topic,although
do you have any affiliate links I could advertise?
I'm also thinking of doing Google ad sense.

Search around. If you can't find anything specific to your niche, Amazon and allot of places have pretty much everything.

Looks like a myBB forum with this layout http://www.bellomandesign.com/portfolio/afresh-themes to me, and this whole thread looks more like advertising of your forum rather than showing off your code..

I simply asked for you to criticize my website like spn has done, not to inform me of the current software and theme that are used in my forum.
Thanks, I'll go ahead and search for Affiliates.
