Is this a serious project that you have been working on? because I visited the website and I'm getting redirected to gosspics.com after clicking on the page. If those are ads are you truly want to have some readers on your website, you should definitely stop them or use Adsense instead of those spammy redirection/pop up ads.

The chat room is not really visible on the let of the page, the news are being gathered from Cointelegraph I suppose and the price tickers are being taken from cryptocompare. If you want people to come, you have to deliver something that worth visiting and not taking info from other sites.

What the actual fuck ? Clicking the link for the first time took me here :https://gosspics.com/couples-heaven/

Not sure if that's your add or whatever,but definitely not a warm greeting for a first time visitor on your site.
From a simple glance,I can make out you'd have a lot of bugs.For example,More tab hover-color and text color gets hidden.
Literally  0 content.That is something a 12 year old kid would do as part of his school project.You need to improve.

As others have already mentioned, the link forwards us to another site. Not sure if that's intentional click bait or if you were parking the domain and haven't updated the direction the servers are pointing at.
Either way, something definitely needs to be changed on your end. Not a real great start to a site launch.

Hi, I just realized that I will take the ad down. I didn't know it did that until now I am sorry about that. Also I am trying to get an article writer so I can put my own content on the website and not use other website contents but until then I will keep the other content up.

Okay the ads are down. Thank you so much for bringing that problem to my attention.

There would always be a good space and a profitable market for Bitcoin and altcoin news. Good thing that you are able to recognize this lucrative opportunity by having your own Bitcoin news site. I do suggest that you make the feel and lay-out of the site more progressive, attractive and interactive. You are entering an already competitive business so always be innovative. :)

Hi, Thank you for your comment. Do you by any chance have any specific ideas that you would like to share to help better the website?

Your site redirects to an ad still.  Be genuine in your work, only then you can make it big.  First have some quality content and make sure that the ads do not dominate the content.  Try to gain more visitors first.  When you have a large number of visitors, simple banners ads will earn you a decent money.  Do not use redirect ads or click in ads or pop ads.  They may contain some malware.

making it compatible for a smartphone is not a difficult task.  if the site is made using responsive theme, it will work well on smart phone.  we should bother more about the quality content than the looks of the site.  infact, i too wanted to start a similar site.  but to have quality content frequently is a big task.  hence i gave up that idea...

Okay the ads are down. Thank you so much for bringing that problem to my attention.

still redirect to gosspic, coudn't check your website if this always happening but before a seconds your website redirect to gosspic i could saw display of your website, it's looked simple tho.
go fix your website so i could send you some feedback.

Post by: eternalgloom on March 31, 2017, 02:02:20 PM
You should have waited before you posted this, it's far from completed and it still has too many bugs.
I personally wouldn't have put the website online in this state.

No content
Links in menu bar do not work
Half of the front page is empty
Useless chat box in awkward position
Still redirecting to Gosspic, even with Ublock origin on
Overall bad design: Whats that red box doing there? Your colours do not go well with each other.

Thank you all for your comments. even though they are not good comments but they help me learn what you all want so I can better the site. Also about the redirect ad I do not know why it is still doing that because its not doing it to me anymore and I took down what I thought the problem was but I will look into it further and see if I can fix the issue. But again thank you for your constructive criticism.


Title: Re: Cryptocurrency News Website

Okay I took down all of the widgets I was using for the Bitcoin price and news so if its still sending you guys to a redirect ad then I need to dig further into the issue. Thank you.

It might be better for you to just take the website offline for a while and focus on making some content to put on the site.
For the design, I'd just make it less cluttered and keep it simple :)

Yes I'm going to take the site down once I know the redirect ad thing is fixed and I cant know that without it being up so someone can test it because its working fine for me but its not for some of you guys. So once one of you can tell me if its still doing it or not I will take it down. So please one of you let me know. Thank you.

The site is working fine on me I'm using chrome i don't know if it's working fine on other platforms sometimes many sites got troubled when opening them using mozila. First of all, i like the design, looks like the banner fits with the font and the background, but the texts should be justify in order to make it more professional, and the content is yet to be published, right??
one more question, are you going to handle this site by yourself? or is there any contributors who help you, because I think this business has a good potential if it's developed professionally.

Okay that's good that its working now and your correct there is no content right now but I am looking for contributors to help out. I do not have any yet though but if any of you are interested then please PM me.

Yes right now all advertising is free and I don't expect to charge for a long while. At least until we have at very minimum 100-200 views a day and even then it will be a very minimal charge (like $1-$2USD a month). And I don't expect that price to change until we hit thousands of views a day. I want this to be affordable to all advertisers so I will do my best to keep costs for ads low when I do start to charge.

Hi, I also wanted to let you all know that on my website I have setup a donate through Paypal button which I put in place for anyone that is willing to donate to help pay for the costs of running the website. I do not expect to get any donations but I figured it wouldn't hurt to put it out there for now until I start getting money from the advertisers and once I do I will take down the Paypal donation button.


Title: Re: Cryptocurrency News Website
Post by: veleten on April 04, 2017, 04:19:04 PM
if this is a crypto related news site you should have put a bitcoin address for donations instead of a Paypal button
Paypal is notorious for having troubles with bitcoins and cryptocurrency in general-they simply do not go well together

on the other hand,your site lacks content,you cannot just steal news from other site's feeds
Google or any other search engine will simply not list your website anywhere near top 1000
and you would never get your coveted 1000 visitors a day (which is not an easy feat to achieve,I must say)

Hey I checked out your website and this is what first came to my mind too.

nice but why you did not use a short domain name without number?

Though your site looks dull with the plain white background it makes my eyes irritated. Maybe you need to change it to colorful and attracting one. Next is the image at the center of each page, I guess it's not a good welcoming message and it's centered maybe you can try to move that at the left top. My suggestion why not try to hire or get a volunteer web designer to make your site more attractive? Try to focus first with the design, next is content then after that, money will generate to you automatically.

Hi, thank you for your comment. I honestly didn't think about that at the time and now that you bring it up that makes more sense to put a Bitcoin address instead. I will edit it now but thank you for bringing that to my attention :).

Hi, I am talking with a graphic designer now about helping me fix up my website. Then I will start to add content and then hopefully some money will come in to help further develop the website.

Yes I understand that I shouldn't steal content from other websites. I was just putting that up there for a little while just to add some content to the website until I could hire an article writer. But I already took it down just because I know it wasn't a good idea now.

Oh I see, I'm seeing a lot of good graphic designer at the services section. Have you try to contact them? They can help you out with your website unless you are willing to pay for their work. And I just want to know don't you have plans on removing the number "1" on your site? Do you have any history about that number?

Okay I will check out the graphic designers in the service section. Also I picked that name because it looked good to me and plus just the "cryptocurrencynews.com" seems to be taken but it redirects to another type of website. So I don't believe I will be able to take put the number 1.

Hi tobeyrowe.
Well first of all, I think you should just put your site offline for some time, to work on the graphic design and not only about design.
If you make "cryptocurrencynews" site, then you should have some entries in "news".
For now, it looks like a site without any specified use.
Im interested why you wrote anything in "Service" tab, but nothing in "news" tab. I thought your website is about new things going on in crypto world, am I right?
No offense sir, but I think you should change the domain name. This number in the middle of URL does not look's good, im afraid you will have a hard task to attract crypto users to your site: we already have hunders of well-developed crypto-news sites.


Title: Re: Cryptocurrency News Website
Post by: maydna on April 07, 2017, 03:15:18 PM
first, i want to talks about domain name, using number in the end of domain name is not good because i don't think people can remember the number "1" from your site. maybe you need to do brainstorming of domain names before you buy domain.

second, the image in your homepage is really big and too confusing with too many word that show in the homepage. if you can use small word or at least you can use one word, it would be better. you can use the word like "crypto currency news, crypto currency world or else.

third, you can use another website template, if you use wordpress or blogger, i am sure there is many template that will help you to do optimization for your site because website template can help you to reduce the file image, beside to get fast loading to open full pages.

i think i am giving this three advice for you and if you are really serious with your project, i think you will find a way to fix it and you can get much visitor to come into your site. good luck bro.

Hi, I am sorry for the late reply I had a death in the family. Thank you all for your ideas and recommendations. I will try to get this all taken care of soon. Also I'm looking to possibly hire a graphic designer to make a better design for the website. And yes this is a news site I just need to try to find a person who can write well written articles about cryptocurrency news. If any of you are interested in one of thesd positions or know someone who might be then please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.
