Poker site review - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

Hi all,

I'd really appreciate some feedback on my website hosting www.directoryofonlinepoker.com .

It's taken me ages to get it to this stage, loads more hard work than I originally thought but I've enjoyed every moment (well, almost - lol).

What I'd like to know from you guys is does the website hosting look 'spammy', I'm undecided as to whether the banners make the pages look 'cheap'. I've put alot of effort into doing the reviews & comparisons and I don't want to ruin all my hard work by overdoing the images. But on the other hand, brand recognition should help the readers - I think?

Any feedback appreciated.

Ta.

Good design, what I would suggest to build absolute confidence to your customers you need to show a secure seal such as eCogra seal on the pages where your player will play poker and place bets.

It does look really good and I don't think it looks spammy. It looks very well designed and has been brought off very well. Congratulations!

Thanks for that feedback guys!

As for building reader confidence I've applied for GPWA approval which is an industry group which works against spam and dodgy dealers, I've already been accepted as a member but still waiting for my seal of approval that I can display on my website hosting - takes months. As I'm just a middle-man and don't actually deal with any money that's the best I can get at the mo'. But going on your advice I think I'll display the seals the poker rooms have themselves on their reviews - thanks.

It's also great to hear it doesn't look spammy (my greatest fear). It's so difficult to tell when you've been staring at it for months.

Thanks again!

Hi Notspot - nice looking site! Did you design it yourself or is it a template?

Hi Mortimer!

No, it's not a template, I designed it myself - v slowly, lol.

Thanks for you kind words!

I took a look at your web site hosting and I think you have one to many ads. Then again, I've seen popular sites with more ads than yours so it's ok. All you need now is some link building and you're on your way to provide us with some poker fun.
